+31(0)30 888 78 77 | +32(0) 9 274 0325 It is important to both you, our exhibitors and advertisers, and our buyers who connect with you through our channels, everyone has a positive and safe experience in researching and buying a foreign property. To help deliver this positive experience, we are working closely with AIPP – Association of International Property Professionals.
In the unlikely event you, as an exhibitor or advertiser, cannot resolve a complaint from a buyer connecting with you through one of our channels, this may be referred to the AIPP and their Property Ombudsman ADR* service for independent, professional resolution. (*ADR – Alternative Dispute Resolution).
Our strategic intent, in offering this service, is to reassure and attract more buyers to interact with you via our channels for foreign property sales. Estate agents and property developers do not have to join AIPP and be part of the Property Ombudsman ADR scheme, but it may harm your commercial position with buyers if they request why you are not in the scheme which is, after all, for their ultimate protection.
In the event a buyer complaint is upheld by the Property Ombudsman ADR process against one of our exhibitors or advertisers, we reserve the right to review our commercial relationship with that company. This review may include, ultimately, a decision we take to no longer offer access to our channels and to preclude the company from exhibiting or advertising with us.

The costs of this membership will be paid-for my Second Home Expo. This offer, for a 12-month membership of AIPP, is open only for the period 1st September 2024 – 31st January 2025.
