Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ShowMe – the trusted property viewing app for international students and remote renters in the UK.

What is ShowMe in Brief?

ShowMe – See It, Own It is a UK property viewing app designed for international students and remote renters. It connects users with verified local agents who physically visit properties, provide live or recorded video walkthroughs, and verify conditions using GPS check-ins. ShowMe helps prevent rental scams and enables confident decision-making for anyone who cannot attend property viewings in person. Available on iOS and Android.

About ShowMe

ShowMe – See It, Own It is a one-point solution that helps people—especially international students—find, view, verify, and confidently choose accommodation in the UK without being physically present. It combines property listings with real, verified, on-ground property viewings.

Because ShowMe combines:

  • Property discovery – Aggregated listings from major UK property websites
  • Remote viewing – Live or recorded video walkthroughs
  • Physical verification – GPS-verified agent check-ins
  • Secure payments – Protected transactions with refund mechanisms
  • Decision confidence – Real evidence before committing

All in one app, eliminating the need for multiple platforms.

ShowMe aggregates property listings from major UK property websites into one place, so users don't need to browse multiple platforms separately. Users can then request a verified viewing for any listed property.

ShowMe does not replace property portals—it complements them. Users find listings through aggregated sources and use ShowMe to verify and view properties properly before committing.

For International Students

  • Remotely view properties via live video
  • Verify property conditions with GPS-verified visits
  • Avoid rental scams before paying deposits or signing agreements

Yes. ShowMe allows live remote property viewings via video, making it ideal for users outside the UK who want to see the property in real conditions. You can also receive recorded walkthroughs if timing doesn't work for live viewing.

Student accommodation apps mainly focus on listing and booking rooms. ShowMe goes further by offering:

  • Real human property viewings – Not just photos
  • Live video or recorded walkthroughs – See the actual property
  • GPS-verified check-ins – Proof the agent was there
  • Honest condition reports – Know what you're getting

ShowMe helps users verify reality, not just view photos.

How It Works

Once a user selects a property:

  1. Request a viewing through the app
  2. A verified local agent attends the property
  3. The agent checks in using GPS verification
  4. The viewing is shared live or recorded
  5. You can chat and ask questions in real time

Yes. Users can book multiple property viewings, making it easy to compare options remotely before deciding. This is especially useful when shortlisting properties from abroad.

Trust & Safety

ShowMe reduces scams by:

  • Sending a real person to the property
  • Verifying location via GPS – Proof of actual visit
  • Showing live or recorded video evidence
  • Holding payments securely until the task is completed

This is especially important for international students booking from abroad who are vulnerable to fake listings.
