New ‘add-on’ to Rightmove gets set to show more of a home’s selling history
Monday, November 23, 2015
A new online service that acts as an add-on to Rightmove is to add new features by the end of the year, including the highlighting of “mis-priced” properties on the portal.
The new add-on is not an in-house offering run by Rightmove but an external service called Propcision.
Propcision already shows much of a home’s selling history, including the number of sales that have fallen through.
Users of Propcision can add it via internet browsers Firefox and Chrome – and, shortly, Internet Explorer – enabling them to see pricing and other information on Rightmove.
Currently the information is only available for London properties, but the service is due to roll out nationally.
When the property seeker browses properties on Rightmove, Propcision automatically displays information including: price adjustments; number of times price adjusted; time on the market; number of failed sales; estimated rental income and yield; and Stamp Duty Land Tax costs.
Also displayed may be a “flag” for motivated sellers, based on the property’s history.
There is also an advanced search tool, allowing users to search by – for example – price reductions, scope for improvement and ex-council houses.
For instance, users can search for the sharpest price reductions among the 75,000 homes currently listed in London.
Features to be added between now and the end of December include flags for a property that is undervalued as well as the highlighting of “mis-priced” properties.
Propcision is also promising a “host of other features to empower the buyer with knowledge”.
Currently, Rightmove shows when a property was “added” and when its price was changed.
Zoopla goes further, showing the changes in original asking price by percentage.
OnTheMarket does not show listing history or price changes, arguing that this does not help the agent actually to sell the property, and therefore does not help the vendor.
While Propcision’s offering may be seen as consumer friendly from the buyer perspective, it would be interesting to know what agents and vendors make of it.
Propcision is the brainchild of Michelle Ricci, a former credit derivatives analyst, and Julien Zak, a financial services developer.
We were really impressed by Kremer Signs and how quickly they could get our boards printed and delivered to our board movement providers. All the staff that we dealt with are extremely friendly. I worked closely with Ryan Little and Sam Collins - both very helpful and quick at responding. Thank you for your help - we are super happy with our boards from Kremer Signs.

Great customer service
The process of ordering boards for my company New Door Real Estate was so easy from the get go with Kremer Signs! I was kept informed every step of the way by Nick and Ryan and I really couldn't fault them. Great customer service and the quality of the boards is brilliant. We're really happy with them!

Delivered in great time
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kremer Signs (especially Ryan Little) for getting me set up with my dream for sale signs. As a very new independent estate agent, I was reassured with the great customer service and the fact I was looked after from start to finish. Really happy with the finished product which was delivered in great time too. Thanks again, I will be back for more (hopefully soon)!
