Writing up a Property
This guide sheet will take you through the process of Writing up a Property within the Dezrez system.
You have access to the write up tab as soon as the property has been created. This can be accessed from the write up tab on the property side as seen in the image below. This will be available to you from pre-valuation all the way through to completed and shown on any historical properties as well.
Start by clicking on the Write Up tab.
You will start on the 'Descriptions' sub-tab, which will allow you to start with the write up of the property. You can also see the sub-tabs for 'Photos', Virtual tours & walkthroughs', 'EPC', 'Location' and 'Brochures'.
On the 'Descriptions' tab, this will show and allow you to enter all of the rooms and features. The tab will be split into two sections, one for the descriptions and one for the property features.
You will start by adding the style and age (most will have been completed from the valuation) main rooms (bedrooms, reception rooms, bathrooms and others). Now start entering the amenities (gardens, parking spaces and garages along with plumbing etc). Once this area has been added in it will now ask you for Tags.
When completing this area, Tags are extremely important. This will create the basis of your searches for your applicants. You can click into the tag box and then start typing, if the tag already exists it will appear below, and then press the enter key or click on the plus and that will add the tag into your system.
Alternatively, you can click on or choose from list. This will show a list of tags that have been entered into the system in alphabetical order. From here you can click on as many tags as needed for your property.
When you have tagged your property click on the blue word back.
You will now add the local authority and any charges applied to the property.
Following this you will see tick boxes available for any applicable Flood Risks, or Rights/Restrictions that apply. You will also have the opportunity to record any booking arrangements (days to avoid appointment bookings on for example) or Visitation arrangements (e.g. keeping a specific gate locked upon leaving the property following a viewing).
To the left of those fields you will also have space for further material information on matters such as construction, mobile signal etc.
After this, you will now enter any Keys and Alarm codes and also any special arrangements. To enter these details, click on the pencil icon and enter in the information needed.
You must click on the Add arrangement (for the Arrangements section) or Add key (for the keys and alarm codes section) to add them to the system

The last feature on completing a write of a property is marking Points of Interest. POI’s in the system can be assigned by individual categories. The categories are School/College/University, Bus Stop, Train/Tube station, Park, Pub, Car Park, Post Office, Amenity, Hospital/Doctor, Dentist, Police Station and Homeopath. The way to add these to the system is to click and drag the point of interest marker onto the map and drop it onto a POI.
Once you have dropped the marker you will be prompted to give the POI a name and assign it to a category.
Once you have given it a name and assigned a category you will click on save. This will add to the list within Dezrez.
As you add the POI’s into the system, they will be added to an internal list for all your properties. Meaning if you instruct another property close by, the POI’s will already be attached on the location tab. Once the marker is added is will be listed in the Nearest section at the bottom of the screen under the map.
This will show you the POI and how far it is away (as the crow flies) in miles. The more you zoom out from the map, the more POI’s will be displayed and the distances altered accordingly. To filer which categories appear, click on the View Others tab and drop down arrow and click on each one to add or remove from the list.
