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.

For help with account access, listing updates or image uploads, visit the IPD Help Desk.

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.

Understanding the local market can help you decide which details to emphasise when advertising your property. Location, property type, condition and asking price all contribute to how a property should be presented.

Skopelos Property Guide: Buying, Selling and Investing in Real Estate

Skopelos is one of Greece's most appealing Sporades islands, known for its green hillsides, pine forests, traditional architecture, sheltered bays and relaxed island lifestyle. Located in the western Aegean Sea, between Skiathos and Alonissos, Skopelos attracts buyers looking for holiday homes, permanent residences, investment properties and villas in a distinctive Greek island setting.

The island offers a varied property market, from traditional stone houses in historic settlements to modern apartments, private villas, coastal homes and plots of land. For international buyers, Skopelos provides an opportunity to explore Greek island property in a setting known for its natural beauty and traditional character.

The International Property Directory (IPD) provides a starting point for researching property in Skopelos, exploring local areas, finding properties for sale and rent, and identifying estate agents and property professionals serving the island.

Skopelos Property Market

The Skopelos property market reflects the island's combination of traditional Greek island living, seasonal tourism and demand for second homes. Buyers may be interested in properties close to the main town, homes in established villages, coastal properties or secluded settings surrounded by olive groves and pine forests.

Property availability, condition, accessibility and proximity to beaches and local services can all influence buyer interest. Traditional properties may offer architectural character but require renovation, while newer homes and villas may appeal to buyers seeking modern facilities and outdoor living space.

Understanding local market conditions is important when comparing properties, assessing asking prices and considering long-term ownership costs.

Areas and Locations in Skopelos

Skopelos offers several distinct property settings, each with its own character and practical considerations.

Skopelos Town, the island's main settlement, features traditional houses, narrow streets, harbour views and access to shops, restaurants and everyday services. It can appeal to buyers seeking an established community and convenient access to the island's main facilities.

Glossa, in the north-west of the island, is known for its traditional village atmosphere and elevated position. Nearby settlements and coastal areas offer different possibilities for buyers interested in sea views, quieter surroundings and access to beaches.

Other parts of the island provide opportunities to explore countryside homes, coastal properties and locations with greater privacy. Buyers should consider road access, utilities, proximity to services and seasonal accessibility when comparing locations.

Property for Sale in Skopelos

Property for sale in Skopelos includes traditional houses, apartments, villas, land and properties suited to holiday use or longer-term residence. Availability varies by location, condition, property type and price range.

Traditional houses may appeal to buyers who value local architecture and the opportunity to restore an older building. Apartments can offer a more manageable alternative for buyers seeking a holiday base, while villas may provide additional space, gardens, terraces, swimming pools or sea views.

Land purchases require particular care. Buyers should establish the legal status of the plot, permitted building use, planning restrictions, access rights and availability of utilities before proceeding.

Property for Rent in Skopelos

Skopelos has a seasonal visitor economy, creating interest in holiday accommodation and rental properties. Houses, apartments and villas may appeal to visitors seeking a base for exploring the island, enjoying its beaches or spending an extended period in Greece.

Rental property ownership requires realistic expectations about seasonality, maintenance, management and occupancy. Buyers considering a property for rental income should assess the local market and applicable Greek regulations rather than assuming that demand will remain constant throughout the year.

Buying Property in Skopelos

Buying property on a Greek island requires careful preparation, particularly for purchasers who live overseas. Before committing to a purchase, buyers should establish clear title, confirm the property's legal status, review planning and building documentation, and understand the applicable taxes, transaction costs and ongoing ownership obligations.

Independent legal advice is important. Buyers should also investigate access, utilities, building condition, insurance and any restrictions affecting renovation or future development.

For international purchasers, the practical details of travelling to the island, arranging inspections and managing a property from abroad may also influence the choice of location and property type.

Investment Property in Skopelos

Skopelos may interest property investors seeking a holiday home with potential rental use, a second residence or a longer-term real estate investment. The suitability of an investment depends on the purchase price, property condition, location, operating costs and achievable rental income.

Investors should account for the island's seasonal tourism patterns and consider the cost of repairs, furnishing, property management, cleaning, insurance, taxes and compliance with rental regulations.

A property that suits personal holiday use may not necessarily deliver an attractive financial return. Comparing properties on a consistent basis and obtaining professional advice can help buyers make informed decisions.

Selling Property in Skopelos

Owners considering selling a property in Skopelos may benefit from presenting it to both Greek and international buyers. Overseas purchasers can have different priorities, including holiday-home potential, lifestyle, views, accessibility, outdoor space and proximity to beaches and local amenities.

A clear property description, accurate details, good-quality photographs and a realistic asking price help prospective buyers assess an opportunity. Sellers should also prepare relevant ownership and building documentation and understand the costs and requirements associated with completing a sale in Greece.

The sales process can require additional coordination when an owner lives outside Greece. Local representation, reliable communication and a clear approach to arranging viewings can help simplify the process.

IPD provides resources covering:

Estate Agents in Skopelos

Local knowledge can be valuable when buying or selling property on Skopelos. Estate agents and property professionals can help buyers understand available properties, arrange viewings and navigate local market conditions.

For sellers, choosing appropriate marketing channels can help increase a property's visibility among potential purchasers. International exposure may be particularly relevant for holiday homes, villas and properties that appeal to overseas buyers.

Marketing Skopelos Property to International Buyers

Marketing a property internationally requires more than simply making a listing available online. Sellers and agents need to present the property's location, features and potential clearly to buyers who may be unfamiliar with Skopelos or the wider Greek property market.

International property marketing can extend a property's reach beyond the local market, bringing it to the attention of people researching Greek island homes, overseas investments and second residences.

A well-structured listing should include an accurate description, asking price, property type, location, photographs and useful information about the surrounding area. Clear contact details and prompt responses are also important when dealing with enquiries from different countries and time zones.
