Introduction

The BDP Checklist helps you ensure all your property listings are complete, accurate, and up-to-date. It’s designed for solicitor estate agents to quickly see which items are missing and keep listings compliant and attractive to potential buyers or renters.

Tip: Completing your checklist fully can improve your property’s visibility and appeal on portals.

Getting Started

  1. Log into BDP
  2. Navigate to the property that requires updating
  3. Go to the Checklist tab, or widget

Using the Checklist

The checklist can help to monitor the progress throughout the estate agency process. Clicking once on the check box changes the status of the item from “To Do” to “Doing”. Clicking a second time changes then changes this to “Done”.

How the Checklist appears on a property page

Marking Items as Done

  • Click the checkbox next to each item to toggle between:
    • To Do
    • In Progress
    • Done
  • Add notes as required
  • Remember to Save changes

Tip: Review regularly and Complete the Checklist to ensure a smooth workflow

Automating Actions using Checklist

Rules can be created to trigger emails when the status of a checklist item changes. For example, if one of the checklist items is “Schedule to be authorised by client”, once the schedule is uploaded to BDP and the checklist item is marked as “Done”, an automated email, attaching the schedule, may be sent to the client for approval. See BDP Rules and BDP Command – Business rules walkthrough.
