Adding properties
How do I add a property to my dashboard?
From your dashboard area, click the ‘Add New’ button. From there enter in your address and location, before going on to add the type of property, size of the rooms and cost.
Upload property details, photos, points of interest and the property’s proximity to any universities, as well as the EPC rating, key features and availability dates. Once you’re happy with everything, click the ‘Submit’ button.
We advise letting agents to add good quality photos for each property. A good selection of photos will get your properties noticed. You can rearrange the order of your photos by simply dragging them into your desired order.
Feel free to get in touch if you need any help adding a property, we’re always happy to offer advice.
How do I edit my property listing?
Select the 'Edit' button displayed to the right of your property listing on the properties page. You can then make changes to any photos or property details.
Can I preview my property adverts before they go live?
We always advise you review properties before making them live. Use the preview button from the all actions button (the magnifying glass icon) beside each property to see what it will look like when live on UniHomes.
How do I make a property live on the website?
You can reactivate an old listing by clicking the three dots next to the property address and selecting ‘Set to live’ from the drop down. You can activate multiple properties at once by selecting the check boxes and clicking the ‘Make Live’ button at the top of the properties table.
How do I deactivate or delete a property?
Once your property is let, off the market or no longer available, you can 'Set to not live' - it will remain in the dashboard should you wish to reactivate later. We'll also ask you to confirm whether you were successful in letting your property.
To deactivate a property, click the three dots next to the property address, select 'Set to not live' from the drop down menu, and confirm whether the property was let.
To deactivate multiple properties select the check boxes of the properties you wish to deactivate, select 'Set to not live' from the top of the page and confirm whether the properties were let.
If you wish to delete a property fully, follow the above steps and select 'Delete' rather than 'Make Not Live'
How do I remove a property from my portfolio?
Once a property has been filled, we always recommend that you deactivate the property. This allows properties to be reactivated quickly during the next letting season, or if a tenancy falls through.
How do I import properties from a spreadsheet?
If your account is not connected to a property data feed (e.g. Jupix or Alto), you can use the use the bulk property importer you can copy and paste from a spreadsheet.
The minimum required data is a postcode and an address. The address can be split into house number, street, city, etc. or be a single line full address.
