Unique Property Selling Points

Every property has characteristics that help distinguish it from others. These are its Unique Property Selling Points — the features, names, places, details and advantages that give a property its particular appeal.

In business, a USP is a Unique Selling Point or Unique Selling Proposition. In property, the same idea applies to the things that make a home, building or location stand out in a property description.

A Unique Property Selling Point might be an architectural feature, a recognised brand, a particular view, an unusual room, a named development, a nearby school, a station, a local shop, a leisure facility or something much more individual.

A property does not need to be unusual as a whole to have distinctive selling points. A familiar type of house might have a south-facing garden, Crittall windows, an Aga, countryside views and a Waitrose nearby. None of those features is necessarily unique on its own, but together they help define what is special about that particular property.

Finding the features that advertise properties

Estate agents use selling points throughout property descriptions to explain why a property deserves attention. Some are obvious, such as a swimming pool, an annexe or a large garden. Others are much more specific: a named architect, a premium kitchen manufacturer, a nearby golf club, a particular railway station or a well-known local landmark.

Selling Points brings these references together and lets you explore the properties in which they appear.

Instead of treating a property description as one block of marketing text, Selling Points looks at the individual details within it — the features that advertise properties.

What counts as a Property Selling Point?

Property Selling Points cover far more than conventional property features.

They include details about the building itself, such as materials, windows, heating, kitchens, bathrooms, gardens, views and architectural style.

They also include the names associated with a property: architects, developers, developments, appliance manufacturers, interior brands and specialist suppliers.

Location creates another group of selling points. Schools, stations, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, hospitals, landmarks, countryside and other nearby places frequently contribute to the appeal of a property.

There are also selling points connected with lifestyle and potential: farming, equestrian use, hobbies, working from home, holiday letting, development opportunities and unusual spaces or outbuildings.

Together, these details form a much richer picture of what a property offers.

One property can have many USPs

There is rarely a single feature that defines a property.

Its real appeal often comes from a combination of details. A period house might combine original fireplaces, a Farrow & Ball interior, a converted barn, open countryside and access to a highly regarded school. A modern apartment might be associated with a named developer, concierge services, underfloor heating, a particular station and nearby restaurants.

Selling Points makes those individual elements searchable.

This allows you to move from one selling point to another and discover properties through the characteristics that interest you.

Explore Unique Property Selling Points

The Selling Points directory contains thousands of Points organised into Sections covering property, buildings, fittings, brands, locations, lifestyle, amenities and other characteristics found in property descriptions.

Choose a Point and Selling Points shows current properties where that term is found.

You can then refine the results by county, explore related Points, move to another Section or compare properties across different portals.

The Property Keyword Explorer also allows several selling points to be combined, making it possible to look for much more specific combinations of features.

Discover what makes a property different

Property portals are excellent at filtering by broad criteria such as price, location, bedrooms and property type.

But much of what makes one property genuinely interesting is hidden inside the description.

Selling Points is designed to uncover those details.

A brand, a building feature, a nearby place, an architectural name or an unusual facility may be only a few words within a long property description, yet those words can represent one of the property’s strongest selling points.

By bringing those details together, Selling Points helps you discover the Unique Property Selling Points that make properties different.
