Property Areas

🗺️ Property Areas Overview

Each property is assigned a Property Area, which helps group listings for more effective Applicant Matching. For example, an applicant may only be interested in properties located in a specific village or region.


🧭 Flexible Area Grouping

  • Property Areas are not directly tied to postcodes.

  • You can group multiple towns, villages, or regions under a single Property Area.

  • The configuration of Property Areas should reflect the geographic scope your agency covers.


⚙️ Accessing & Managing Property Areas

To manage Property Areas:

  • Navigate to File → Configuration → Properties → Property Areas

Key features:

  • Unlimited Areas can be created at any time

  • When a new Area is added, it will automatically appear on existing Contacts’ Property Requirements tab

  • Areas can be organized into hierarchical levels (e.g. Country → City → District)

    • There is no limit to the number of levels

    • Each Area can only be linked once within the hierarchy
