Moving Soon - Sell or Let your Property Privately

Affiliate Property Listings for UK Landlords Letting their Property Privately

2009-11-16T13:40:00.000-08:00

We have decided to roll out an affiliate scheme specifically aimed at UK Residential Property Landlords. List your UK Properties for Rent with us and promote our service to other UK Property Landlords.

You can now save money, that is offering you the potential to receive free property lead referrals, by promoting our service to other UK Property Landlords. Firstly, property owners need to list the UK properties that they are wanting to let on our website. The properties, once verified, will be uploaded and added to our Property to Let Listings. Once you have received confirmation of successful verification and listings you can then spread the word of our service to your fellow UK property owners.

If they, the other property landlords you have spoken to about our service, choose to advertise their own UK rental properties with Moving Soon they can inform us of your endorsement of our service in two ways. They can either contact us direct through the website or they can add your details when they are uploading their own UK property listings.

Once we have been able to successfully verify details of each UK landlord referral to use our service we will refund one lead you receive for every new UK rental property listing added as a result of your endorsement of our service. Therefore, the more property owners you get to list their UK properties with us, the more free property lead referrals you are able to take advantage of.

Further details on this fantastic offer can be found on the UK property landlords section of our website.

UK Population Growth and its potential impact on the UK Property Market

2009-11-08T13:02:00.000-08:00

It has been recently reported that UK Population could rise to over 70 million by the year 2033. This growth would indefinitely have an impact on the UK Property Market.

Let's think about it, more and more of us are living past the age of 65. Therefore if this trend continues you would probably see an increase in the number of Retirement Properties that are sought. Not only that, but there would be increased demand in general for all types of UK Residential Property. The supply of housing would need to increase to meet the demands of an ever expanding population.

The Government still has the target to achieve its pledge of having 3 million new homes built by 2020. However, given the credit crunch and the fragile state of the economy these numbers look like being a tall order to meet. Economically, it makes sense to have these homes in place if indeed the UK Population is predicted to grow at the pace that has been recently reported. It will come down to basic economics, namely supply and demand. If there aren't enough properties available to cope with an increasing population it will not only drive up house prices, but also the rental income of landlords.

In the immediate short term a lot depends on whether the UK is able to exit the current recession. It's still fragile when it comes to buying and selling UK residential property, mostly due to the lack of available credit from the banks. However, added to this is still the uncertainty around unemployment; it's still anticipated to peak around the 3 million mark in 2010.

So it could be that first time buyers play the waiting game which can only be good news for those property landlords seeking tenants.

A Property Wanted Listing can take away the hassle of finding a New Home

2009-10-13T12:00:00.000-07:00

If you're looking to buy or rent property in most cases you will spend a lot of your own time either browsing websites or visiting a myriad of Estate Agents for your new home or rental pad.

Why not take that hassle away and let property owners, either those looking to sell or would be landlords, find you. Not only do a host of online residential property websites offer a Property Wanted Listing service, but it's also likely that your local Estate Agent will as well. This should be considered as a valid option alongside your own efforts of browsing the property websites, whether they are Estate Agents or Privately Property Selling and Letting specialists.

It certainly cannot harm your chances of finding your dream property. Finding a new home to purchase or your next rental accommodation can be extremely time consuming and in some cases can be a painful experience. However, you need to increase the odds of finding your next property. It's not dis-similar from a company marketing a new product or service. They will use many different channels to promote themselves. This is no different from you looking for property. A Property Wanted Listing should be a big consideration when making your next home move.

Do Your Research before Listing Your Property Privately

2009-10-06T14:29:00.000-07:00

There are a variety of Property Listings available to those looking at posting an advert whether letting or selling privately. Offline property owners or those seeking property to rent can, for example, post adverts in local newspapers or list their details in shop windows. Online there are many different websites offering to list properties.

It is worthwhile investigating the various options available. Online there are some websites which may require a fair amount of detail if you have a property you are wanting to rent out. At the other end of the spectrum will be those that display teaser property adverts. The cost of listing will vary. Some will charge upfront fees, whilst others, like ourselves, will only charge for property enquiries. There are also websites that will offer a completely free service. However, it's extremely important that you do your research before you decide the right property listing service for you. Things to consider before listing your property are:

- Will your contact details be displayed on the website to would be tenants?
- What will the websites do to try and attract potential tenants to your property advert?
- Has the website been recommended?

There will different approaches from the online offerings. Just be prepared to do your homework!

Alternately if you have decided that it appears to be too much work you can always opt to use an Estate Agent, however remember that with this approach there will tend to be larger fees involved.

A Property Wanted advert could help you find that property to rent

2009-09-10T13:17:00.000-07:00

Many people still visit Estate Agents if they are looking for property to rent. This may also prompt them to register their details with them to receive mailings of new property to let.

Consideration should be taken to posting a property wanted advert on the internet. By casting the net wider home seekers may actually find the perfect property they are looking to rent. This option gives potential tenants the ability to test the market. Registering with an Estate Agent is useful if they have the property you are looking for. In many cases potential renters could be missing a huge opportunity by not considering alternative approaches such as listing the property wanted to rent.

If you are looking to rent a property then it is well worth considering such websites, like movingsoon.co.uk, as a potential source.

Paying for qualified property leads the way forward

2009-09-06T05:07:00.000-07:00

If you are considering renting your property there are many choices available; from the Estate Agent route through to the DIY option. We came up with the concept to pay for property leads several years ago. As a fledgling business it was fantastic for Moving Soon to get recognition from Web User Magazine back in 2007.

You can pay upfront for advertising your property to rent privately, but there is no guarantee on a return for your investment i.e. people responding to your listing. We've had first hand experience of this, so it's interesting to see that even some of the bigger portals have adopted the same model for Estate Agents that advertise with them. We all want a return for our investment so we think that paying for qualified leads for property listings is the way forward.

As it's free to list your property with us we certainly believe you should try out our property listing concept.

Why we think our property lead referral concept works

2009-08-22T02:12:00.000-07:00

Whether you are looking at renting your property or seek property wanted to rent we believe our concept works. If you are renting your house or property there are opportunities to either utilise estate agents or you can rent your property privately. Depending on estate agents you can either engage them to manage your property or they will offer to find you a tenant. However, if you are considering the latter why not try and find the tenant for your property yourself. Using our property enquiry service enables you to test the market and see if there is interest in your property listing.

Another big plus is that we do not display your contact details on our site, thus ensuring confidentiality. Interested parties will submit their details and it's up to you if you want to receive the details or not. It is really that simple. Only then will contact details be shared so you can get in touch with the person (or people) interested in your property listing.
