What's Included in Your IPD Property Listing?

When you pay to advertise a property, you need to know exactly what you are getting. A useful property listing should give prospective buyers or tenants enough information to understand the property, assess its suitability and contact the owner or agent directly.

International Property Directory (IPD) provides a property listing platform for private owners, estate agents, brokers and developers marketing properties across international markets. Listings can include detailed property information, photographs, pricing and contact details, with additional options available where applicable.

This page explains the main features of an IPD property listing and what to check before choosing an advertising package.

Property Listing Features

An IPD property listing can provide space for the information buyers need when researching a property remotely.

• Property photographs: Upload up to 16 images to help show the property and its features.
• Property description: Provide an extensive description, with room to explain the property's characteristics and relevant details.
• Location information: Identify the property's location so visitors can assess where it is situated.
• Asking price: Display the advertised price to help buyers compare properties.
• Property details: Include relevant information such as property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, size and other available characteristics.
• Owner or agency information: Add your name or agency name and relevant contact details.
• Direct contact options: Depending on the listing fields used, include a telephone number, email address and website link.

The information entered into a listing determines how effectively it communicates the property to prospective buyers. Complete the available fields accurately and keep the details up to date.

Up to 16 Property Photographs

Photographs help prospective buyers understand a property before arranging a viewing. An IPD listing can include up to 16 images, allowing you to show different rooms, the exterior and other relevant features.

Choose clear, current photographs that represent the property accurately. Where appropriate, include images of the main living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor space and any other features that distinguish the property.

Use the available images to provide a balanced view of the property rather than relying on a single photograph to communicate everything a buyer needs to know.

Detailed Property Descriptions

A property description should explain more than the number of rooms or the asking price. It can provide context about the layout, condition, features and practical characteristics that help a buyer decide whether to make an enquiry.

IPD supports extensive property descriptions, giving owners and agents room to explain relevant details without having to reduce the listing to a few short sentences.

Useful information may include:

• The property's layout and accommodation.
• Interior and exterior features.
• Condition and any relevant renovation information.
• Outdoor space, parking or other facilities where applicable.
• Known information about the property's location and surroundings.
• Any important conditions or limitations that prospective buyers should understand.

Descriptions should remain accurate, relevant and factual. Avoid unsupported claims about planning permission, rental returns, investment performance or other matters that have not been verified.

Location, Price and Property Details

Buyers often compare properties across several locations before deciding which ones deserve closer attention. A listing should therefore make the basic facts easy to find.

Provide the correct location, property category, asking price and other relevant details. Complete the available property fields so that buyers can better understand what is being offered and use the site's search options to narrow their choices.

Your Contact Details and Website

A property listing should make it straightforward for an interested buyer or tenant to identify the person or business advertising the property.

Depending on the fields you complete, your listing can include your name or agency name, telephone number, email address and website link. These details help visitors understand who is offering the property and how to request further information.

Check all contact details before publishing. If your telephone number, email address or website changes, update the information so that prospective buyers can still reach you.

Manage and Update Your Listings

IPD provides a self-service listing system that allows advertisers to manage their property information. You can make changes when required, including updating descriptions and correcting details, rather than having to treat the original listing as permanently fixed.

Keeping a listing current is particularly important if the asking price changes, the property becomes unavailable or new information needs to be added. Regular checks help ensure that prospective buyers are not relying on outdated details.

Advertisers should also review the applicable package terms to understand how listing access and publication are affected by the advertising period.

Property Search and Discovery

IPD's property search facilities allow visitors to narrow their research using available criteria such as location, property type, price range and other property details.

Completing relevant listing fields helps make the property easier for prospective buyers to assess and compare. Accurate details also help visitors determine whether a listing matches their requirements before making contact.

IPD's wider directory structure combines property listings with location and property-market information. This gives visitors additional context as they research destinations and consider different property options.

Can Your Listing Receive Featured Exposure?

Featured property options may be available for listings that require additional prominence. The availability, placement and terms depend on the applicable advertising option.

Before purchasing a featured option, check what additional exposure is included, where the listing may appear and how long the feature applies. Do not assume that enhanced placement is included in every standard listing package.

Review the current options on our IPD listing packages page.

Support When Adding a Listing

Setting up a listing involves entering property details, uploading photographs and checking that the information appears as intended. If you encounter a technical problem with the listing process, IPD provides a support route for assistance.

What Is the Difference Between a Listing and an Advertising Package?

The listing is the property information presented to visitors. The advertising package determines the applicable commercial terms, which may include the advertising period, the number of listings covered and any additional features.

Before paying, check the complete package details rather than assuming that every available feature is included in every option.

Prepare Your Property Before Listing

Before creating a listing, gather your photographs, description, asking price, location details and contact information. Check that you have the right to advertise the property and that the information supplied is accurate.

If you are marketing property to overseas buyers, provide enough context for someone unfamiliar with the area to understand the property's location and characteristics.
