Property alerts
Alerts for new rentals and homes for sale across the UK
Save a search with an area, a price range and the bedrooms you need, and get a push notification when a new rental or home for sale is listed. Snaffla watches PropertyPal, Rightmove and OnTheMarket, so you do not have to keep refreshing each one.
Which property portals does Snaffla watch?
Snaffla watches PropertyPal, Rightmove and OnTheMarket: PropertyPal for places in Northern Ireland, and Rightmove and OnTheMarket for the rest of the UK.
You set up one search for your area and Snaffla watches the portals that cover it. A property search uses one search slot, however many portals it watches.
What can you set in a property alert?
- Rent or buy, as separate searches.
- A town or postcode, and a distance around it in miles.
- A minimum and maximum price.
- The number of bedrooms.
Each alert links to the original listing on the portal, and you contact the agent yourself. Not sure how wide to make a search? Read what to set up in a property alert.
What does an alert show?
The alert shows the listing and its rent or asking price, as the portal lists it. Property is not valued: Snaffla does not label a property as above or below the market, so the price is yours to judge. Items and cars are priced against comparable listings, but property is not.
If the same property is listed on more than one portal, Snaffla tries to show it once rather than alert you twice. When you first create a search, the properties already listed fill your feed without sending alerts, and after that you are alerted to new ones.
No portal accounts to connect
Snaffla never asks for your logins on any portal, and your accounts are never connected. You do the enquiring yourself, on the portal.

Property alert questions
Can I use Snaffla to find somewhere to rent?
Yes. Choose rent when you set up the search, and you get an alert when a new rental that matches is listed on the portals covering your area. Choose sale instead to watch for homes to buy.
Can I watch more than one area?
Each property search has one place and a distance around it. To watch another area, set up another search. A property search uses one search slot, so the pricing page shows how many search slots each plan includes.
Does watching several portals cost more?
No. A property search uses one search slot however many portals it watches, because the portals that cover your area are chosen for you.
