Easy upload of your images to create a professional online appearance. Houseflys has inbuilt technology to enable you to upload quality images yourself, at anytime of the day or night!  If you're still not sure how to upload your images you can either send them to us via email at info@houseflys.co.uk or to our mobile 07590 997452 and we'll do it for you...but it is really easy to do it yourself: here are the instructions, so have a go! 

• Tenants are more likely to take your property or room seriously if they can see what you are offering.  Houseflys enables you to look professional, just like an Estate or Letting Agency. 

• Visual images enable tenants to quickly decide whether your 'letting' is for them or not resulting in quality enquiries. 

• Listings with no images give a very negative impression and would result in visitors ignoring your letting.  As a result Houseflys ensures that all LIVE adverts listings include at least 1 image of your property/room.

• No 'live; adverts will be uploaded onto the ‘live’ website without an image, and you will be reminded to upload images if you pay to activate your letting.

• Each listing's web page can take up to 4 images, which image can be up to 6Mb giving you upto 24Mb per listing.  This means that your images can be a very high quality resolution, giving your web page an excellent online image.

• Images can be deleted, changed or updated at any time including when your listing is 'live'.  This is especially handy if you receive feedback from enquirers regarding the images.

If you don't have images available now, don't worry, you can still create your account then upload and store all your property ‘text’ details prior to adding images in the future.  Just return to 'Your Account' at a later date to upload images prior to payment.

All 'live' listings must include at least 1 image.  This policy is to safeguard your online 'professional' appearance and to maintain the interest of Houseflys visitors and encourage visitors to view your properties details in full.

After uploading your property details and images you can choose to store these and pay at a later date OR pay and 'activate' your advert listing immediately. You're in control of when you advertise your letting.  Prior to any payment being made, you will be prompted to read the Terms and Conditions. Payments are all linked to PayPal for your security and peace of mind. If you don’t have a PayPal account already, you can easily create a PayPal account prior to paying for your advert [which takes approx. 5-10mins] OR you can make a single direct payment with your credit card via PayPal.

Once your property/room is ‘live’ it will appear on the home page under ‘Latest Properties’, so you can see immediately that it is there. Within 24 hours, your live listing is uploaded by direct onto Twitter and Houseflysblog which generate even more exposure to searching tenant! Houseflys visitors can also subscribe to receive RSS feeds or follow on Twitter, which instantly alerts them when your new listings are added to Houseflys.

Following payment of your advert, an automatic email will be sent to you which details your payment, expiry date of advert and your PIN [see below]. You can also use your PIN [see below] in the ‘Quick Search’ box to be quickly directed to your ‘live’ online property listing for you to view, this saves you hunting through the other listings.

You can edit your property details and images even when your listing is ‘live’ by logging into Your Account. Visitors will see the date your 'letting' advert expires, giving them confidence that the property/room is active and available ‘To Let’, saving them wasted time.

All adverts are listed with the ‘expiry’ date clearly advertised on your web page. On ‘Your Account’ page, there is also a ‘countdown’ timer which allows you to see how much time is left on your ‘live’ advert/s. 1 day before your advert ‘expires’ an automated email will be sent to you flagging up that the advert is due to expire.

• If you wish to renew your advert listing so it appears on Houseflys website for longer, the email will link you back to ‘Your Properties’ page, where you can ‘Re-new Your Ad’ to click through direct to PayPal.

• If you let your property/room before the expiry date, you can remove your ‘live’ listing by editing ‘Your Properties’ page and select ‘Status: Hidden’. This will stop any further unwanted enquirers.

Please Note:  Payment will not be reimbursed for unused ‘live’ adverts, however, if your ‘let’ falls through prior to your advert expiring, you can just reinstate it by selecting ‘Status: Live’ again. Your property/room will continue to be LIVE on Houseflys website up until the expiry date.

You have complete control of deleting all of your details from Houseflys. After expiry of your ‘live’ advert and following no immediate renewal payment, your property/room will still be stored in 'Your Account' for up to 1 year from when you originally added the details.

• If you wish to re-let your property within the year, just login and go to Your Account, update your property/room listing and re-advertise.

• If you do not re-advertise within the year, all your property details and images will automatically be deleted. We will notify you of this prior to any automatic deletion.  Once deleted they can't be reinstated, and your account will need to be set-up again.

• If you wish to delete your property details and images entirely before the year expires, this can also be done by logging in to Your Account/Your Properties and select the delete button under the listing. It will now be fully deleted. Please note: you can’t recall this deletion and will have to create the listing from scratch.

You will have a property ‘account’ which you will be directed to every time you login. Here you can see all your listings in one place and you can have as many properties or rooms that you need stored here.

Once you have paid and your property/room is ‘live’ you will automatically receive an email from Houseflys, which details your unique Property ID Number [PIN]. Your PIN enables anyone to avoid searching through all the Houseflys listed properties and go direct to your dedicated web pages.

With your Property ID Number [PIN] means you can also advertise your property/room direct via traditional newspaper ‘Classified To Let Property’ adverts in your local paper OR even in texts to interested friends, colleagues or enquirers so you can increase the variety of ways you advertise your letting.  Your PIN can then direct enquirers to your dedicated web pages to view the full details of your letting.

‘Classified To Let Property’ pages: Traditional advertising ‘To Let’ properties/rooms can be very expensive, especially if you don’t secure a letting within a couple of weeks. Equally if there are lots of adverts listed your advert can become buried within the section. Paying for larger boxes and colours add to the cost, without providing any more essential information to readers. With your PIN you can still advertise in the classifieds but your Ad could direct interested readers to your online property page at Houseflys via the PIN number, so they can download all the details + images direct. This will give you an edge over fellow advertisers!
