COMMENT OF THE WEEK
Just had our lovely letter from Rightmove fee going up from £1,050 to £1,220 plus vat for basic package. OnTheMarket now wanting us to buy extra products, fairly cheap but still extra??? Zoopla only £80 plus vat a month. Most leads we receive are from Rightmove but there is no need to charge as much as they do sooner we all switch to Zoopla or OnTheMarket the better.
