Rightmove on track for busiest year ever with leads to members up over 20%

As the housing market enters the final few months of the year, Rightmove reports that enquiries to agents and developers are up over 20% this year so far compared to the same period in 2013.

 

In the nine months to September, home-movers had made 21 million telephone enquiries to Rightmove members and sent over 13 million email enquiries, both up over 20%.

Rightmove Director Miles Shipside comments: “It’s been a busy year – and it looks set to be our busiest on record. The investments we’ve made this year, such as the upgrade of rightmoveplus, the industry’s fastest Data Feed which uploads in real-time and our new find your happy campaign, have all helped lead to a 20%-plus uplift in both telephone and email enquiries sent to Rightmove members.

“At this time of year we know that many of you will be starting to turn your attentions to next year in a bid to make the best possible start, and the focus again looks set to be on winning stock. We’ll continue to support you through the remainder of this year with the launch of our new Instruction Winning Packs in a few weeks and our exclusive advertising with Channel 4 that puts us on TV for the rest of the year.

“Our new research among thousands of sellers and landlords shows that having their property in front of the largest and most engaged home-moving audience will be critical, and to help support you we’ll be investing more than ever in both marketing and technology in 2015.”
