The first reason for making a small charge for our service is to ensure that the advertising material we carry is both genuine and current. We're confident you'll agree this is vital for truly effective marketing.

The other main reason for charging a small fee is, so that we can maintain this web site on a full-time basis thus making sure it is correctly moderated and maintained.  We are spreading the cost of this fairly.

We are pioneers of a new online method of buying and selling houses using wide experience gained having worked within the property sector itself, so what we offer is unique.  We believe it is the long-awaited alternative to using high street estate agents and it is here to stay.

With Property Match you get access to a real person to liaise with about your property advert, should this become necessary at any stage. You can email, Skype, or phone us about your advert during normal office hours.

The above is why we request a small up-front payment from clients placing property adverts.

We are also in favour of having fixed-price fees across the estates sector and are of the view that the use of percentage fees is wrong.  Such methods reward unethical practices within the estate agency profession and should therefore be stamped out urgently.

Free sites by comparison?

Free sites are not managed in the way we are and inaccurate information is usually common on such sites.  Estate agents as well as owners often use them for marketing property inappropriately with percentage commission generally getting charged somewhere along the line anyway. Such web sites are, in our view, unhelpful and tend to increase the general level of confusion and misinformation, instead of reducing it.

Property marketing is a specialization and the idea of offering it FREE online can only be described as an extremely naive one.  At the end of the day people generally get what they pay for, in business and in life.

If you have any feedback about any aspect of this web site,

good, or not so good, we would like to hear from you.
