So slow

The app is so slow… you put in an area and it takes forever to pick it up. Even right now as I type this, it is STILL loading. I don’t want to have to close the app and restart it multiple times to work

Property Investor

Great app - super slick and experience on the listing stock. Muti area etc now included drives great experience.. UI and UI nice and clean - best in SA

Too many unregistered agents !

I had an Offer to Purchase in FishHoek. I was very suspicious when I noted that the agent knew less than I did. I went immediately to the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority to report her and the company. She was immediately retrenched and my Offer to Purchase was cancelled. Buyer beware! Private Property should be regulating who is licensed and not, but they only post properties and do not care much about the legalities of licensing.

Can’t search for anything on this app

When i try to search for a house in a certain area the app doesn’t show anything. This can be a great app this problem is fixed. On the internet browser the website works just fine.

Trash…

The app now no longer allows you to search for properties by selecting an area (both from the search bar as well as the recent searches). Also created alerts and they just disappear. There is a bug where the favourite icon doesn’t highlight when you favourite a property until you leave the property page and then come back. It’s honestly just a poor performing app, and literally can’t be used to search for anything. No wonder people chose to use Property24 instead.
