The NRLA Portfolio service offers you two main choices to advertise your property, one free and one paid. These are as follows:
Homes2Rent Portal
All properties advertised using Portfolio will be shown on the Homes2Rent website (www.homes2rent.org.uk), this is equivalent of the 'shop-window' for the letting agent service we are required to operate by the larger advertising portals. The main benefits to our landlords are:
1) It's the place where prospective tenants can reach you directly through the Home2rent app. This is better than giving out your email address or mobile number and means you can manage communication with people who respond to your advert. Direct contact between landlords and tenants is not allowed by the major advertising portals and must come through the letting agent, which is Homes2Rent.
2) It's free to advertise there so if you need a link to publicise in another place e.g. Facebook, you can use the Homes2Rent link to your property advert and all interest will be channelled through there.
Paid for Advertising Portals
If you choose to pay for advertising through a commercial service then the Portfolio service will list your property with several major and minor property portals for up to 30 days at a time. You can extend your listing at any time with a further payment.
Rightmove & Zoopla
The two biggest and most established players in the market - you can be sure to generate some interest if you advertise with these companies. They claim that they received over 300 million views per month in 2021. They each have their strengths both regionally and in the way they present your advert but as Portfolio allows you to advertise with both, you don't have to worry.
Neither portal allows prospective tenants to contact landlords directly so we will direct them your way by registering them on the Homes2Rent portal and from there they can send messages, request a viewing and set up a contract with you.
