OnTheMarket boss Ian Springett has hit back at detractors in an article on the online publication City AM.
His article follows the Competition and Markets Authority’s open letter to estate agents warning them against colluding when making portal choices.
In the piece, he says: “The letter from the CMA triggered some predictably opportunistic attacks on us from some who are perhaps sensitive to the impact we are having by injecting competition and increasing choice in a portals market dominated by two big listed companies, Rightmove and Zoopla Property Group.”
He goes on to say: “It will clearly take time for OnTheMarket.com to attract as much consumer traffic as the market-leading portals.
“However, our progress has been rapid: we had over seven million visits in March, and we are greatly encouraged by the feedback we have from agents and consumers alike – there is now a challenger agent-owned portal in the market to list and view properties on.”

Lets hope the agents mutual and on the market thing goes away soon. More agents set to leave no doubt after reading this mornings estate agency today
I think that EYE by now should have worked out that Woodentops18 is a troll who’s sole intent is to be disruptive and brining nothing to the table that has any value and I see has now taken to being abusive.
If anything bringing EYE down into the gutter if they allow this sort of conduct to continue which will turn readers off as it did on EAT. It should be an easy matter for them to take control of the situation and even be able to identify the culprit.
I’m sure no-one has fallen for their silly games but just WASTING EVERYONES TIME. If they think they are getting under my skin, a feeble attempt and not a hope of ever happening.
Not me posting above.
Lol, just shows up some people attitude to be able to hit dislike.
Lol yes – more crap from my expert sis woodentop’s. You have just won another dislike sis

Opportunistic attacks – The guy is having a laugh. Wake up and face the CMA music. Theres another agent shouting that he’s lost business, trade and good stuff.
