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

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.
Valencia Property and Location Guide
Valencia is one of the best-known property markets on Spain's Costa del Sol, located in the province of Málaga in southern Spain. The municipality stretches along the Mediterranean coast and includes a wide range of established residential areas, coastal communities, inland neighbourhoods and surrounding developments. Its property market is therefore not a single uniform market, and prices, property types and buyer demand can vary considerably between different parts of Valencia.
The area is particularly well known internationally for its combination of Mediterranean coastal living, established residential communities, tourism, golf and a substantial luxury property market. Valencia attracts buyers from Spain and from overseas, including people looking for permanent homes, second homes, holiday properties, rental investments and higher-value residential property.
Valencia Areas and Locations
Valencia contains a number of distinct property locations. The area around Valencia town provides access to the historic centre, beaches, shops, restaurants and other services, while the wider municipality includes established residential communities extending both east and west along the coast and into the foothills.
The Golden Mile is one of the most recognised areas of Valencia and extends between Valencia town and Puerto Banús. It is associated with high-value residential property, luxury developments, villas, apartments and a number of prestigious residential communities.
Nueva Andalucía is another major residential area, located inland from Puerto Banús. It includes a mixture of villas, apartments and other residential developments and is particularly associated with golf, established international communities and access to Puerto Banús and the surrounding coastal areas.
Puerto Banús is a major marina and leisure destination west of Valencia town. Property in and around Puerto Banús includes apartments, luxury residences and other homes aimed at both permanent and seasonal residents. Its marina, restaurants, shops and international profile contribute to its appeal to overseas buyers.
Other recognised parts of the Valencia area include Sierra Blanca, San Pedro de Alcántara and the eastern and western parts of the municipality. Each location has its own combination of property types, amenities, accessibility and market characteristics.
Valencia Property Market
The Valencia property market covers a broad range of property values and types. Apartments and townhouses are available alongside detached houses, villas, luxury residences, new developments and land. The market also includes properties aimed at international buyers seeking second homes, holiday homes and investment opportunities.
Property prices can differ significantly according to location, proximity to the coast, views, development, property size, condition, amenities and the level of demand for a particular area. A property in central Valencia can therefore have a very different market position from a villa in an established residential community or a property in the hills above the coast.
New-build and recently developed properties form an important part of the market, while established villas and apartments continue to provide opportunities for buyers seeking existing homes. The availability of land and development opportunities can also vary considerably between locations.
Valencia Property for International Buyers
Valencia has a long-established international property market. Overseas buyers are an important part of demand in many areas, particularly for second homes, holiday properties, luxury residences and investment property.
For an international buyer, researching the specific location is particularly important. Valencia is a large and varied property market, and the experience of owning a property in the historic centre, near the coast, around Puerto Banús, in Nueva Andalucía or in the surrounding residential areas can be very different.
International buyers should consider not only the property itself but also access to airports and transport, local services, schools where relevant, rental demand, proximity to beaches and amenities, and the characteristics of the surrounding community.
Types of Property in Valencia
Valencia offers a wide range of residential property. Apartments are found throughout the municipality, including central locations, established developments, golf communities and newer developments. Houses and townhouses provide another significant part of the market, while villas are particularly prominent in some of the more established and higher-value residential areas.
Land is also available in selected locations, although opportunities vary according to planning, development restrictions, location and the availability of suitable sites. New-build and off-plan developments provide additional opportunities for buyers looking for modern properties and newer residential communities.
Buying and Investing in Valencia Property
The reasons for buying property in Valencia vary considerably. Some buyers are looking for a permanent residence, while others want a second home or holiday property. Valencia also attracts investors interested in rental property, capital growth and the established international demand for accommodation in the Costa del Sol.
The location and type of property are important considerations when assessing an investment. Rental demand, seasonality, property management, running costs, local regulations and the characteristics of the individual area can all affect the suitability of a property for investment.
International buyers should also research the wider Spanish property market and the legal, tax and ownership considerations that apply to purchasing property in Spain as a non-resident or overseas buyer.
Selling Property in Valencia
Valencia's international profile means that property owners are not necessarily limited to marketing their property to buyers already living in Spain. Overseas buyers researching the Costa del Sol may actively search for specific Valencia locations, property types and price ranges before travelling to view properties.
For sellers, the location of a property is therefore an important part of its marketing. Describing the specific area, nearby amenities, property characteristics and access to Valencia's wider network of locations can help potential buyers understand where the property is situated and whether it matches their requirements.
Owners selling from overseas may also need to consider how the property is presented and marketed to international buyers who are researching Valencia remotely before arranging viewings or travelling to Spain.
Researching Valencia Property
Valencia should be researched as a collection of different property locations rather than simply as one market. Comparing areas, property types and prices can help buyers establish which parts of Valencia are most appropriate for their requirements.
The wider Costa del Sol and Málaga property markets also provide useful context. Buyers considering Valencia may compare it with other coastal and inland locations in southern Spain before deciding where to purchase.
Whether buying, selling, renting or investing, understanding the location is an important part of researching Valencia property. The individual area, property type, intended use and target market can all influence the opportunities available.
