Important Gumtree Feed Update
.png)
Currently, all your listings feed to Gumtree for free. However, from the 1st of September, Gumtree is changing to a fully paid model for property listings.
They say they are doing this to:
- Eliminate duplicate and fraudulent accounts.
- Improve the quality of leads you receive.
- Offer faster, more personalised customer support.
- Increase transparency in how services are delivered.
If you do not have a subscription with them, then all property listings that have been fed through will be automatically removed by them, so you do not have to do anything. If you do take out a paid subscription, then the listings will continue to feed through. We will update our admin console accordingly.
To find out more about this change, please click here. If you have any questions, please let us know.

They also have a QR code, which will take visitors to the listing on your website.
Like all our brochures, you can edit the description, points and agents, and they can be downloaded as a PDF for you to print or email. These new brochures are available on all our websites.
Please download some brochures from your admin console to see how beautifully they present your properties. We are sure you will love them like we do. And as always, please let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

Lite sites menu update
We have renamed the “Valuation” menu item to “Market Estimate”. This is to comply with the PPRA instruction that Property Practitioners must refrain from using the terminology “valuations” in their marketing material.

| Updated menu item. |
This menu item opens a form for people to fill in their details so you can get in touch with them. People completing this form could be looking to sell or just curious about the value of their property.
This update will reflect on all lite sites. Should you have a lite site and would like different wording, let us know and we will change accordingly. If you have a premium site, and you want us to change the wording in a similar way, let us know, and we will do it for you.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
