HOW TO FIND A HOUSE
There are three ways through which u can find the house you need on this website:-
- You can use the "search" on the home page; by entering
the specifications of the house that you need [i.e. category, district, bed
rooms and Cost range]; then click "search" to get results basing on the entries
made, or;
- You can directly enter the house code of the house that you need
so as to go directly to the details of that house, or;
- You can simply choose from the Select
section
which
has specifications that have already
been set/arranged for you; so that the results you get are based on the chosen specification.
1- Using the Search
If you choose to identify a house by
searching then you need to use the following parameters:-
Category
Select the category for the house that you would like to find, this should be either
Residential for Sale or Rent,
District
Choose the district where you would like to rent the house [NB only
districts that have an entry in our database will be shown in the
selection box]
Bed Rooms
Choose the number of bedrooms that you need, this may of course be
based on the size of your family
Cost Range
The cost of rent for houses on this site varies basing on location
and size of the house or its interior quality, so you should therefore
enter the minimum cost and also enter the
maximum cost that you can afford to pay per month.
If you want to be specific about the cost of rent; for example if
you want only houses whose rent is 250000shs; then you have to enter
250000 for both the minimum and maximum cost range, hence the
results you will get will be only for houses whose rent is exactly
250000Usd
Using the search method is the most precise way to find the exact house you need;
but that's only if it exits!
NB:- "while you search/look through the different houses please write down/note the codes of the houses you are
interested in; that will later make it easy for you to quickly find the same houses
using their codes".
2- Entering the house code
You may have been to this site already and hence you have noted/written the code[s] of the house[s] you need, in that case you should
just enter the code [one at a
time] in the "code entry box" on the home page then press the "Go" button,
this will take you
directly to the details of the house whose code you have entered (if its still available). if your refer any one to this website; you can just give
them the codes of the houses that you want them to see hence they will not have
to search through the whole website.
3- Using the Select Section
If you choose to identify a house by selecting from the select section then
you can click on an item from the lists such that you get results based on the item you
have clicked, the expected number of results/houses to be viewed is shown in the
column labeled "Houses". All lists in the select section are arranged in
alphabetical
order and in groups of six, you can also re-arrange the lists by clicking on the headings for each column.
However; as opposed to the search; the selections will present results that are
specific to the parameter/item chosen but all other parameters will be mixed up.
for example if you choose a district from the selections then you will get a mix
of "all"
houses in that district regardless of:- cost, number of bedrooms, or
category.

PRINTING [house details]
Printing a House Details Page
directly from the browser is not straight forward, this is due to the fact
that browsers do not print backgrounds by default unless they set to do so, the
margins may also have to be set in order for the webpage to fit on an A4 sheet
of paper
[as shown on the right].
A quick procedure to set up your pages so that they fit on paper for printing is as follows:-
Go to "Tools" menu at the top of your browser [internet explorer] and
select "internet options",
on the new windows that pops-up; select the "Advanced" tab, then scroll down to the
"Printing" section and select "Print back ground colors and images", then click
"Ok".
Then go to the "File" menu at the top of your browser and select
"Page Setup", on the new window that pops up; set the
"Paper" "size" to "A4", then set the "Orientation" to
"Portrait", then set all the margins to 0.2
and click "Ok". after this
you will be able to make good printouts of the House Details Page
for each property on this website!
