Frequently Asked Questions

Placebuzz is your go-to UK property search platform that makes finding your next home effortless. Search by location using our interactive map or enter any town, area, or postcode. Filter results by price, bedrooms, property type (detached, semi-detached, terraced, flats), and key features you need. Save your favourite properties, create smart searches, and get instant email alerts when new matches appear. Ready to view? Contact agents directly through each listing. Best of all, it's completely free.

No, we're your property search companion, not an estate agency. Think of us as the bridge between you and thousands of properties across the UK. Licensed estate and letting agents list their properties with us, while they handle all viewings, negotiations, and sales or rental processes.

It's simple: Enter your desired location (or explore our interactive map), select "For sale" or "To rent," then use our smart filters to find exactly what you're looking for. Save any search to automatically receive email alerts when new properties matching your criteria become available. Click any listing to see full details, photos, and contact the agent instantly.

Professional estate and letting agents from across the UK showcase their properties on our platform. Every listing displays the agency's name, contact details, and credentials, so you know exactly who you're dealing with before making contact.

Great find! Simply open the listing and choose your preferred contact method: call the branch directly using the provided phone number, or send a detailed enquiry through our secure contact form. Your message goes straight to the agent, and we'll confirm delivery immediately.

Response times vary as agents manage their own enquiries and viewing schedules—popular properties often receive many requests. If you haven't heard back within 24-48 hours, try calling the branch directly or sending a brief follow-up message. Persistence often pays off in competitive markets!

The listing agent will contact you directly to confirm your viewing time or suggest alternative slots that work for both of you. We deliver your request immediately, but the agent manages their own viewing diary and will be in touch soon.

Your privacy matters to us. We only use your details to power your account features (saved searches, alerts) and to connect you with agents for properties you choose to enquire about. You control your alert settings anytime. Safety tip: Never send money or personal documents before verifying the agent and property legitimacy. Avoid transfers to individuals rather than registered agencies, and report anything suspicious so we can investigate.

Agency details occasionally change. Try calling again later, use the enquiry form on the listing, or visit the agency's own website for updated contact information. Still having trouble? Let us know—we'll investigate and update the listing if needed.

We've built the UK's most intuitive property search experience. Our interactive map shows properties by type (detached, semi-detached, terraced, flats), powerful filters help you find exactly what you need, and smart alerts ensure you never miss the perfect home. It's property search, simplified.

Jump right in! Enter any UK town, area, or postcode (or explore our visual map), choose "For sale" or "To rent," then use our filters to narrow down by price range, number of bedrooms, property type, and must-have features like gardens, parking, or pet-friendly options.

Absolutely! Our advanced filters let you specify price range, bedrooms, property type (detached, semi, terraced, flat), outdoor space, pet policies, parking, and much more. You can also sort results by newest listings, price (low to high), or distance from your chosen location.

Yes! Tap the heart icon on any listing to add it to your favourites. Build your shortlist, then easily review, compare, and share your top choices from your account dashboard.

Set up your perfect search once, save it, and turn on email alerts. We'll automatically notify you the moment new properties matching your criteria hit the market or when existing listings are updated. Never miss out on your ideal home again!

You can browse and search without an account, but creating a free account unlocks powerful features: save favourite properties, manage multiple saved searches, control your email alerts, and access your search history anytime.

Not a penny! Browsing listings, using our map, saving favourites, creating searches, and setting up alerts are all completely free. We're here to help you find your perfect home without any hidden costs.

Definitely! Switch between "For sale" and "To rent" anytime during your search, or create separate saved searches for each market. Perfect if you're keeping your options open or searching for different family members.

Make your enquiry stand out! Include key details like your viewing availability, preferred move-in dates, confirmed budget, and any must-have requirements. Being specific shows you're a serious buyer or tenant. For urgent enquiries, calling the branch directly often gets the quickest response.

The UK property market moves fast! Our listings are updated frequently throughout the day, but popular properties can be snapped up quickly. Always check the "added/updated" date on listings and contact agents promptly for the best chance of securing viewings.

Complete control is yours! Adjust alert frequency, edit your search criteria, pause notifications temporarily, or unsubscribe entirely—all from your account dashboard or via the link in any of our emails. Your inbox, your rules.

We cover the entire UK! From bustling city centres to quiet countryside villages, enter your town, area, or postcode to discover what's available in your desired location. Our interactive map makes exploring new areas easy and visual.

Smart strategy! Create multiple saved searches for different locations using the same criteria (budget, bedrooms, property type). Save favourites from each area, then compare your options side-by-side. Our alerts will keep you informed about all areas simultaneously.

Of course! Every listing has share options—send links via email, WhatsApp, text, or social media. Perfect for getting second opinions from family, friends, or your partner before making decisions.

Here's our insider tip: Be specific with your filters, save your searches immediately, turn on email alerts, and favourite any "maybe" properties for later comparison. When you find something special, act fast—contact the agent with specific viewing times and show you're ready to move.

Spotted incorrect details, broken contact numbers, or outdated information? Use the "Report" link on any listing page to tell us what's wrong. We investigate all reports promptly and work with agents to fix issues quickly.

Listing details come directly from the marketing agent for each property. While we work with professional agencies, always verify important information—availability, fees, lease terms, and property details—directly with the agent before making any commitments or payments.

We connect you directly with the agent, who manages their own viewing schedule. Send your viewing request through the listing, and the agent will contact you to confirm a suitable time or suggest alternatives that work for both of you.
