How it works

Decide which of our three packages you want, or choose to place a Wanted advert.

Throughout this process it is possible to save your advert and come back to finish it later.

Using the step-by-step process we guide you through the process of creating a professional marketing sheet for your property. The prompts will guide you and give you the opportunity for you to add your own description of the key features of your property. You will need the information you wish to include ready before you start: descriptions, photo(s), room dimensions, asking price/rent, Council Tax band, other charges.

The information your prospective buyers will want to know includes:

• Type of property: terrace, semi-detached, detached house, flat, maisonette

We make it easy to upload your digital photos from your PC. We will scale them for you so they fit our requirements. You just need to choose which will be the main photo used in your advert.

You will then be asked for your contact details to go on the advert. If you haven't already registered with Bright Property, you will create a user account with a username and password which gives you your own Homepage where you can manage your advert and view your invoices, as well as save favourite properties you might be interested in.

You will now see the preview of both the advert that will be displayed when people search the site, and your individual property details web page. You can go back to edit these if you want to.

You will then be asked to review and accept the Terms & Conditions for using the service, and finally, for your payment details. We accept payment by World Pay – one of the most trusted secure payment providers on the internet. You will receive an email receipt from both WorldPay and Bright Property to confirm that your payment has been successful. On receipt of your payment, your advert and web page will be uploaded to the Bright Property website.

With effect from the 1st January 2008 the advertisement will not be made live until you have confirmed that the information has been obtained. This is only applicable to Residential For Sale properties that are covered under the scope of the scheme.


When you advertisement is made live on brightproperty.co.uk it will then be uploaded onto the other portals and search engines on your behalf. Usually within 48 hours. The same property information and contact details (where applicable*) will be displayed on all subsequent portals and search engine adverts. In some cases the contact details will be specific to brightproperty.co.uk and all enquiries received for you property are sent to direct to us, we will then immediately forward them on to you. There is nothing for you to do, even if you amend your advert the changes will be uploaded onto the other search engines. All that is required for you is to respond to the enquiries from interested parties.

On receipt of your payment, we will arrange for your personalised board to be made featuring your contact phone number. The board will then be erected with a post (where applicable) by our contractor leaving you to concentrate on responding to all the enquiries you will have.

With effect from the 14th December 2007 your property cannot be marketed if it is covered under the scope of the Home Information Pack Scheme. Until you confirm that a HIP and EPC has been obtained then your personalised “for sale” board will be put on hold. As soon as confirmation has been received the arrangement for erecting the board will be made. This is only applicable to Residential For Sale properties.

Within two working days of receiving your payment, an agent of Bright Property will contact you to arrange a mutually convenient time to create your virtual tour. The floorplan and virtual tour will be prepared within 5 working days from the initial appointment and uploaded to the website. View Virtual Tour. Due to the complexity of the Virtual Tour it can take a short while to upload, please be patience as it is worth the wait! If you need Java or the latest version please download it from Sun Microsystems.

By having a 0844 number you maintain your privacy by not displaying your landline or mobile telephone number whilst selling or letting your property. We will arrange for the issue of your own personal 0844 number once we have received confirmation of your payment. The number may take up to 2 working days to arrange and we will confirm the details and the instructions for use by email. Once your advert has expired the number will no longer be available for use.

When you receive an offer you should log into your personal homepage and tick the 'under offer' box by your advert. This shows people searching the site that your property is ‘Under Offer’. Similarly, you can tick a box to identify the property as 'Sold'. If you advertising period has not expired you may choose to leave the advert on display until such time to advise other interested parties that the property is no longer available. Alternatively, at any point you may choose to 'hide' the property – at the ‘tick of a box’ the property will not be displayed in the search results, although the data will remain in our system so you can reactivate it if you wish.

When the adverting period is soon to end you will have the option to extend the display of the advert or upgrade to another package. This can easily be done through your personal homepage. If you decide not to continue the advert will be removed from the website.
