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.

For current costs and package information, visit:

• IPD listing packages — compare available advertising options.
• Advertise on IPD — learn about the advertising service.

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.

Our guides to international property marketing and reaching international property buyers offer further guidance.

Property Listings in Galicia

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.

Galicia, in north-western Spain, offers a distinctive property market shaped by its Atlantic coastline, green countryside, historic towns and traditional villages. From coastal homes overlooking the Rías Baixas to apartments in established cities and rural properties surrounded by farmland, Galicia appeals to buyers looking for a different lifestyle from Spain's hotter and more heavily visited Mediterranean regions.

Whether you are searching for a permanent residence, a holiday home, a rental property or an investment opportunity, our Galicia Property Overview provides a starting point for exploring the region. You can also discover different areas and locations in Galicia to compare coastal communities, provincial capitals, smaller towns and rural settings.

Understanding the Galicia Property Market

The property market in Galicia varies considerably by location. Santiago de Compostela attracts interest from people drawn to its historic centre, cultural heritage and university environment. A Coruña and Vigo offer larger urban markets, employment opportunities and access to services, while towns along the coast appeal to buyers seeking maritime scenery and a more relaxed pace of life. Inland areas may provide opportunities to explore traditional stone houses, village properties and homes with larger plots of land.

Understanding local conditions is important before making a decision. Our guide to the Galicia property market helps buyers and sellers investigate the factors that influence demand, while the Galicia property prices section provides a dedicated starting point for researching values and comparing different parts of the region.

Property prices can differ significantly according to location, condition, accessibility, views, outdoor space and proximity to employment or tourist attractions. Buyers should compare similar properties in the same area rather than relying on regional averages alone.

Types of Property in Galicia

Galicia offers a broad range of residential property, from compact city apartments and modern family homes to traditional rural houses and larger coastal residences. Reviewing the available property types in Galicia can help you narrow your search according to your budget, intended use and preferred location.

Those looking to purchase an existing home can explore property for sale in Galicia, including houses for sale and apartments for sale. Buyers interested in larger properties or more outdoor space can also investigate villas for sale in Galicia.

Coastal Living and Rural Property

Galicia's coastline is one of its defining features, with fishing ports, sandy beaches, rugged headlands and sheltered estuaries. Coastal locations may appeal to buyers seeking a holiday home, a permanent move or a property that could potentially generate rental income. However, demand, accessibility and the suitability of individual properties vary between locations.

Further inland, Galicia's green landscapes and traditional settlements offer a different property experience. Older village houses and rural homes can have considerable character, but their condition should be assessed carefully. Renovation costs, roof condition, damp, structural work, access to services and the legal status of any extensions can all affect the true cost of ownership.

Buyers should consider how a property will be used throughout the year. A home that suits a summer holiday may have different heating, transport and maintenance requirements from one intended for permanent residence.

Investment Property in Galicia

For buyers considering property as an investment, Galicia offers several potential areas of interest, including urban accommodation, coastal homes and properties in locations that attract visitors. The suitability of an investment depends on the purchase price, ongoing costs, local demand, maintenance requirements and the intended rental strategy.

Our guide to investment property in Galicia is a useful starting point for researching this market. Before purchasing, investors should investigate achievable rents, seasonal demand, vacancy periods, taxes, insurance and management costs. Holiday and short-term rentals may also be subject to regional and local rules, registration requirements and other restrictions, so the relevant regulations should be checked before assuming a property can be rented in a particular way.

Buying Property in Galicia

It is also sensible to budget for expenses beyond the advertised purchase price. Depending on the transaction and property, these may include applicable taxes, notary and land registration charges, legal fees, surveys, renovations and ongoing maintenance. The exact costs depend on the circumstances of the purchase and the rules in force at the time.
