One of the most frequently asked questions is how to search specifically for freehold listings. A freehold property typically refers to a property where the owner has full ownership and control over the land and building. Unlike condominiums, freehold properties do not have a maintenance or association fee.

Searching for Freehold Listings

To search for freehold listings using Repliers' API, you can filter out properties with any maintenance or association fees by using the maxMaintenanceFee parameter.

By setting maxMaintenanceFee=0, you are effectively filtering for listings that do not have maintenance fees, which are typically freehold properties.

Here’s an example API request:

https://api.repliers.io/listings?maxMaintenanceFee=0

This request will return only listings that meet the criteria for freehold, as no maintenance fees are associated with these properties.

Why This Works

In most markets, freehold properties are characterized by the absence of monthly maintenance fees. By specifying a maximum maintenance fee of zero, you're limiting your results to listings without any such fees, making it an efficient way to search for freehold properties.

Additional Tips

• If you want to search for properties with a specific maximum maintenance fee, you can adjust the value of maxMaintenanceFee accordingly.
• Combining this parameter with other filters such as price, location, or property type can help you refine your search further.
