Property Listing Policy

No property is published on the strength of a brochure alone. Before listing, we review the title deed and its class, ask about mortgages, charges and unpaid taxes, and for developer sales we ask the developer to document their ownership of, or registered rights over, the land. Where something material cannot be documented, the property is not listed.

We also check the listing details against the property itself, and the photography is honest, taken in ordinary light, including what a wide angle lens would prefer to hide.

• Title deed and its class reviewed before listing
• Questions asked about mortgages, charges and unpaid taxes
• Developer land rights documented for off plan projects
• Listing details checked against the property
• Honest photography in ordinary light

We decline to list properties where the seller is not the registered owner and cannot document their right to sell; where undisclosed charges sit on the title; where an off plan project is marketed before the developer’s land position is resolved; or where the marketed specification and the physical reality differ beyond honest correction.

Some candidate properties fail these checks, most at the paper stage. We would rather show you a smaller, accurate portfolio than a large optimistic one. This is a policy, and it is also simply the business model.

Each listing states the title deed class, the price and what it includes, the floor areas as documented to us, and any drawbacks worth knowing: road noise, distance to amenities, or a view that requires optimism. Listing text is written from our own notes, not pasted from sales material, and listings we have re checked show the date.

For off plan properties, the listing additionally identifies the developer, the payment schedule structure, and the contractual completion date.

Listings are updated when we learn of any material change, whether a price, availability, completion dates, or physical changes such as new construction affecting a view, and we review live listings regularly. Sold and withdrawn properties are removed promptly rather than left up as bait.

If you spot an inaccuracy we have missed, tell us; we correct listings quickly and, where the change is material, we inform those who have enquired about that property.

Our checks describe a property as it was presented and documented at the time of listing. They do not freeze the property in time, and they do not replace the legal searches your independent lawyer performs on the current registry record for your specific transaction, a step we require of every buyer without exception.

What the policy promises is narrower and stronger: nothing reaches this website that we have not reviewed, and nothing stays on it that we know to be wrong.
