LONDON, August 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Agents looking to reach the influx of Brits, who are looking towards Australia for a better life, can now market their properties and related services via http://www.propertyindex.com­ - a 'pay for results' property portal, free of commission, monthly subscriptions, set-up fees and minimum term contracts. Despite being less than a year old, PropertyIndex.com has over 150,000 overseas property listings from a client base of 850 agents and developers across 4,000 destinations.

According to the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS), the number of people leaving the UK for 12 months or more reached a record high in 2006, up from 359,000 in 2005 to an estimated 400,000 in 2006. Of which, 32% were bound for Australia and New Zealand, leading over other hot spots - France, Spain and the US. With high numbers entering into each country, the rental and sales opportunities for agents is set to be lucrative.

Propertyindex.com has already been received as a welcome addition for overseas agents looking to set up a virtual shop window to the large numbers of UK consumers ready to make the move. The company's cost per lead payment model means agents only pay 10GBP per lead (20 AUD) each time a valid enquiry is received.

Recognising the value of agents' time, Propertyindex.com can accept a wide range of data feeds to upload information and photos of a property for sale or rent. Once the data is submitted to the site, the property is assigned a unique reference code, which is quoted against any consumer enquiry. If a user is interested in a property, they direct their enquiry online direct to the agent. The lead is qualified with the agent with key details (name, telephone number, email address) and supplemented further with more detailed information such as 'are you selling as well as buying?', 'are you looking for financial services?'

Agents registered with Propertyindex.com have 24-hour access to real time campaign reports which include: the number of enquiries generated by their listings; information on how many times their property listings have been viewed and the percentage of individuals who after viewing the properties then went on to submit an enquiry.

The site also includes an advanced search option allowing the consumer to be more specific with their search details such as 'is there a beach nearby?', 'is off-road parking available?' So upon contacting the agent their enquiry is further qualified, which is particularly helpful when dealing with overseas customers who are not necessarily well-informed on the area in which the property is located.

Propertyindex.com also offers a number of highly targeted advertising solutions for agents to market properties and other business services, such as financial and legal advice. These campaigns work on a cost per click basis and include banner campaigns on relevant destination homepages, fixed positions at the top of search results, database newsletter promotions, inclusion within buyer's guide advertising and sponsored links.

Propertyindex.com managing director, Lee Bramzell says: "Our flexible, commitment free, cost per lead model offers a great opportunity for agents in Australia to capture Brits before they even leave the country."
