Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How Do I advertise on this website?
A. For you to place an AD, you have
to register by clicking on the register button. An advertisement is placed by
clicking on the Place AD button. This will prompt you to choose your
advertising category. More information can be found in our “Getting
Started Guide”
Q. Can I use an agent if I advertise on your website?
A. At ShowYourHouse we do not set
any restrictions on advertising your properties else where. With a “sole
agency” contract, the estate agent is the only agent that has the right to sell
your property, so if you find a buyer yourself, you do not have to pay the
agent’s commission. Check the estate agent's contract to make
sure they haven't specified a clause saying "sole selling rights" rather than
"sole agent right". In this case you would still have to pay the agent
commission even if you sold it yourself.
Q. What Payment methods do you accept?
A. We accept all major credit cards:
Visa, Switch, Solo, MasterCard etc. Payment is through World Pay. This is a
very secure payment system provided by the Royal bank of Scotland. We do not
harbour any bank details of customers. After choosing your packages, you are
redirected to their secure servers guarded by powerful firewalls to make your
payment.
Q. Do you charge to upload videos on properties?
A. ShowYourHouse do not charge for
the general public to upload their videos if they have been professionally shot
