Why listing quality matters
A strong listing helps clients and tenants understand whether the property fits their needs before they contact you. It also helps PropatyHub review the listing more quickly because the key details are easier to check.
Good listing quality does not guarantee approval, enquiries, viewings, or a successful let or sale. It reduces confusion and helps the right people make better decisions.
Choose the right intent and type
Start with the correct listing intent:
- `Rent` for long-term rental homes.
- `Sale` for properties being sold.
- `Shortlet` only when the property is available for short stays.
Choose the property type that best describes the home, such as apartment, house, land, or shortlet. Do not use a popular type if it does not match the actual property.
Write a clear title
Use a title that explains the property in plain terms.
Good examples:
- "2-bedroom apartment in Lekki Phase 1"
- "Serviced 3-bedroom terrace with parking in Wuse"
- "Shortlet studio near Victoria Island"
Avoid vague or exaggerated titles such as "Amazing deal" or "Best property ever". Tenants need enough detail to decide whether to keep reading.
Add accurate location and property details
Include the city, neighbourhood, and practical location notes where available. If exact map visibility is limited, still make the area clear enough for tenants to judge fit.
Check these details before submitting:
- bedrooms and bathrooms
- property type
- rent, sale price, or shortlet rate
- payment period
- availability date
- furnished or unfurnished status
- parking, access, security, and service charge information
Incorrect details can lead to change requests or rejection.
Use good photos and media
Add clear, recent photos that show the property honestly.
Useful photo set:
- front or building exterior
- living room
- bedrooms
- kitchen
- bathrooms
- parking, compound, or key amenities
Avoid dark, blurry, repeated, or misleading images. Do not use photos from another property.
Describe price, availability, and key features clearly
Use the description to answer likely tenant or client questions:
- What is included in the price?
- When is the property available?
- Are there extra charges?
- What amenities are important?
- What restrictions should people know before contacting you?
If something may disappoint a tenant later, explain it upfront.
Avoid misleading information
Do not publish:
- unavailable properties
- copied photos
- false prices
- hidden location changes
- features the property does not have
- contact details in places where the platform does not ask for them
Misleading information can harm tenant trust and may affect review outcome.
Before you submit
Use the listing editor to review each step. If PropatyHub shows quality guidance, treat it as a practical checklist for improving the listing before review.
