I have rung their 0900 number up and faxed many times.
I have been using Finda then Sella since it was first launched.
It used to be great but the impovements are making it go backwards.
I advertise the Sella site every single day in my newspaper adverts for my rentals.
Being in a small city is bad enough but they will not let us combine territorial authorities like they do for places like Hastings / Napier and so on.
I have been pleading for ages to get Nelson combined with Tasman as one single location with a combined population of 100,000.
We are one area known since 1840 as Nelson.
New people coming to Nelson seeking housing have never heard of Tasman. It is not even on most maps. So when they search for properties in Nelson they miss one third of our urban area. Richmond is separated from Nelson city by a single road. One side Nelson the other Richmond. However Richmond is in the Tasman area so one third of our listings can not be found. Trademe and Telecom white pages list them as one area so it is reasonable for people to not know about the artificial separation of our city.
The reason given is that APN owns Wises maps. Well goodness me.
What a strange thing.
Have a go at putting Tasman into Wises and see what it comes up with.
Again I 100% want to go with Sella. For a big firm to provide such a versatile site for free is fantastic.
But please do no pick on the little guys in little cities.
We also have a life and run our businesses.
We need our city up in lights like the big fellas.
Give us a mention in the locations instead of hiding us behind a thing called "other"
