Does missing property information put you off from viewing?
Whats the worst missed info?
I'll go first... FLOORPLANS!!!
From the end of May 2022 all property listings for both sales and rental property must include a property’s price, council tax band or rate and for sales, tenure information.
The new rules, announced by the NTSELAT, are the result of their research which found 90% of home movers and renters would prefer to find detailed information when searching on a portal.
Later changes are set to be backed by legislation and will make compulsory the inclusion of details including utilities, flooding risk and non-standard features such as restrictive covenants.
Over half of consumers (54%) said they would be less likely to buy or rent a property where information was missing on a property portal.
