Frequently asked questions

What can I do on Havelia?+

Havelia brings together people looking for a property and people who have one, on two markets: sale and rental.

  • Buy or Rent: create your project (type, budget, area, criteria). Home shows you the compatible listings, and their owners see your project: they can send you a request.
  • Sell or Let: list your property. Home shows you the compatible buyers or tenants, and you send a request to the ones you like.

One account can hold several projects and listings: at the top of Home, pick the one whose selection you want to see. When it’s open, the Holidays market (going away or hosting travellers) works the same way.

Is Havelia free?+

For individuals, yes. Creating a project is free, for buying as well as renting, and an individual publishes one listing for free. Havelia takes no commission: the sale or the lease is agreed between you. To publish more — or as an agency or developer — the Pro and Pro+ plans are available; agencies get a free 3-month Pro trial.

How does the compatibility score work?+

A listing and a project can only match if the listing’s town is in the project’s area. Each card in your selection then shows a score from 0 to 100% that combines:

  • Budget (price or rent against the project’s budget)
  • Property type
  • Size (surface, rooms, bedrooms) and amenities
  • Shared qualities
  • The project’s maturity (financing, timeline or, for rentals, the rental file)

On each card, Why …%? details each criterion, with strengths and points to watch.

Can I message a seller or a buyer directly?+

Yes, with a contact request: send it from Home or the Explorer, then write to them in Messages. Until the other person accepts, you can send 3 messages, with no links or photos. If they accept (Chat with …), you chat freely; if not, you’ll only learn it isn’t for them.

Will I be told about new compatible buyers or tenants?+

Yes. Every morning, we look for new projects compatible with your listings. If there are any, you get a summary notification (or an email if you only use the website); it opens your selection on Home, where you send a request to the ones you like.

To stop them, turn off Push Notifications (Profile > Notifications in the app) or the Activity (messages, requests) emails (My account > Notifications on the website): this turns off your other notifications too.
