PropertiesChooseSpain.com offers both rental property and
real estate advertising.
Sale Properties can be advertised free of charge.
The site is designed as an owner advertising site,
therefore all property enquiries are dealt with by the property owner/agent.
ChooseSpain.com is solely the advertiser of the property and takes
no responsibility for enquiries, bookings and arrangements made between
the owner/agent and a potential renter.

1. What service do you offer?
We offer an advertising only service for rental and real estate properties in Spain, where the property owner/agent handles all the property enquiries that come from the site. We do not manage properties, nor handle any property enquiries or bookings. Back to FAQ2. How can I register a property?
Back to Top
You can register a property either online through our registration form or you can request a form, fill in the details and email it back to us, or you can send it to our contact address. Back to FAQ3. How do I pay?
Back to Top
We can take payment either online through WorldPay or Paypal using a secure server in Sterling, Euros or US Dollars or we can accept a sterling cheque drawn on a UK bank/building society. We are unable to take foreign cheques or cheques in Euros at present. We can also accept bank transfers, please contact us for further information. Back to FAQ4. What image formats do you want?
Back to Top
We can generally accept most image formats though we prefer .JPG or .GIF files and use sophisticated software to enhance the images, however it cannot do miracles and relies on the original photograph being of a reasonable quality and size. Therefore we are unable to accept photocopies of images. When sending the images by email we would prefer the image size to be a minimum of 640 pixels and less than 500kb in file size, however if you are unable to meet these requirements then just send what you have and we will try to work with it. We can also accept photographs or CDs by mail. If you require the photographs/CDs to be returned, please send a stamped self addressed envelope. Remember the old cliche that an image paints a thousand words and this is certainly true when advertising rental properties. Send high quality images to enhance your listing. It is the property owners/agents responsibility to ensure that they have copyright, or necessary permission to use the images sent to us. Back to FAQ5. Can I update my property online?
Back to Top
Yes, we have an Owners Area, that you can log into as an advertiser and make updates to your property, such as text, quick view details, prices, contact details etc. as well as updating the availability calendar and adding the property to the Late Deals page. Most of the details can be updated online, however a few, such as images, need to be changed by us. If this all sounds too daunting then we offer a free service to update the property for you. Changes are usually made within 48 hours. Obviously, this facility to update your details gives you much greater flexibility, however we do require that the details are accurate and not misleading to potential renters. Back to FAQ6. How do enquiries come from the site?
Back to Top
Enquiries are made from the property page, either through the enquiry form link or by the client telephoning you, provided that you have a number displayed. We do not review any of the booking enquiries sent from our site, however, should you be unfortunate to lose your emails, we can send you a copy that is stored on our server. All enquiries must be answered by the owner/agent in a prompt manner even if the property is already booked. We suggest that you have a standard email that you can send if this is the case. Back to FAQ7. How do I deal with bookings?
Back to Top
All bookings must be made through you or your agent. We suggest that all details are confirmed between yourself and the potential renter and that you keep records. Back to FAQ8. Where will I appear on the search results?
Back to Top
This is one of the most commonly asked questions. It depends on a variety of inputs. On each town page the results are ordered by property type and how many the property sleeps, but within these results the order is randomised. The client can also sort the properties using the field selectors. On the quick search, the properties are sorted within the search fields and then displayed in a random order. On the advanced search, the same happens, though the results are narrowed down depending on the search query. Back to FAQ9. How many enquiries can I expect from the site?
Back to Top
This is the million and one dollar question and one that we cannot answer nor can we guarantee as it depends on too many aspects. We suggest that to maximise your enquiries, you stick to the basics and provide good quality images and do not expect too high a rental price as the clients will look elsewhere. Keep your renters happy and they will probably return to you and recommend your property to their friends and colleagues. Also when you receive an enquiry, the work has only just begun, you then need to turn it into a booking. The client has probably sent the same enquiry to many other owners, so reply promptly.
