OnTheMarket announces new recruit as Court of Appeal hearing set to start today

OnTheMarket has announced that 12-branch estate and letting agent firm Jackson Grundy has entered into a long-term listing agreement with the site.

Formed in 1994, Jackson Grundy, based in Northamptonshire, has ten sales branches and two lettings branches.

Managing director David Jackson said: “In light of frequent and significant price rises from one portal, and a question mark over the future direction of another, we felt now was the right time to give our support to OnTheMarket.

“We have been impressed with the recent growth in traction and the vigour shown in growing the membership base.

“Jackson Grundy looks forward to playing a part in the progression of the agent-backed portal, and we are confident our clients will greatly benefit from this new relationship.”

Helen Whiteley, commercial director at OnTheMarket, said: “It’s exciting to see yet another long-established large firm such as Jackson Grundy deciding to join OnTheMarket.

“It strengthens our market position in Northamptonshire and we are looking forward to working closely with Nick and his team.”

Today, the challenge by Connells brand Gascoigne Halman to last year’s judgment that OTM’s ‘one other portal’ rule was legal is due to start today in the Court of Appeal.

The hearing is scheduled to last three days.

      Why on earth would they need to join OTM?  A small portal with extreamly low site visitors compared to RM and Zoopla.  Besides, if a product on offer was any good.  People would pay for it, not only join because it being given away free.
