House and Residential land ads in North, East, North Central, Sabaragamuwa and Uva provinces are Free to post. So are Rooms & Annexe ads across the country. For paid ads you can make payment online via card or bank transfer. If you wish to post more than 1 ad, then you can select a Membership option during the payment process or Contact Us to discuss about the different Membership options available.
We do not charge any fees, commission, referral fees or anything like that from a successful sale or lease through an ad posted on the site. You can optionally upgrade/promote an ad to guarantee placement on the first page or home page for a small fee. Please see below about upgraded ads.

Upgraded ads allow you to promote your ad to be placed permanently above other ads of the relevant category for a period of 30 days. To upgrade an ad, please login and click on the 'View / Edit / Del ads' option, then click the 'Upgrade' button next to the ad you wish to upgrade.

How it works

• By upgrading your ad to a Showcase, Platinum or Featured status you can get higher visibility for your ad (up to 3000% more) and thus ensuring more leads.
  
  
• There is only a limited number of places available for Showcase and Platinum ads and when all places have been taken you will need to wait until one becomes available. We will show when the next slot will be available if the current holder does not renew their ad.
  
  
• Each upgraded ad will be valid for 30 days. You will need to renew the upgrade if you need to extend beyond 30 days. You will be able to renew the ad 5 days before the upgrade expires. Once the upgrade expires the slot will be available for anyone to use and if all the slots have been taken you will need to wait until one becomes available again.
  
  
• Your ad will be displayed, as currently, only on relevant results. Eg. if the ad was for a Colombo apartment sale, it will appear under all Colombo listings however will not appear under Dehiwala listings.
  
  
• If you upgrade to a status other than Platinum you will be able to upgrade to a higher status at anytime during the upgrade valid period (subject to availability). However you will need to pay the full price of the new upgrade status and will not get a refund for the remainder of your existing status.
  
  
• Prices are subject to change in future and you will need to pay the rates at that time when renewing
  
  
• Payments can be made using your credit or debit card online

To start Upgrading your ads, please visit the ad listing page.

Boosting allows you to move your ad to the top of it's listing category immediately after the ad is boosted. The ad will then remain in that position until other ads are Boosted after that, which will cause the ad to move down. You are free to use the Boosts whenever you want to, as long as you have sufficient credit to use for Boosts. An ad that has not been upgraded will be visible immediately below the upgraded ads once Boosted.
