Rightmove has ‘uncontested market leadership’ says City analyst

Thursday, November 12, 2015

Analysts at investment bank Liberum have reported that Rightmove has gained market share to stand at 82%, giving the portal “uncontested market leadership”.

By contrast, Liberum reports that market share for Zoopla, OnTheMarket and Primelocation has fallen.

It puts the market share of OnTheMarket and Primelocation at just about equal – although that particular chart only goes up to July.

However, it also reports on its latest survey of just over 1,000 people in October.

For the last seven quarters, Liberum has asked: “Which property portal do you use when searching for sales / lettings?”

A total of 53% said they would use Rightmove when looking for sales and 51% said they would use Rightmove when looking for lettings.

The report claims that both Zoopla and OTM have lost market share to “other property websites”.

Liberum concludes: “The cost of listing on property portals is very small for an estate agent as a percentage of revenues.

“We see little incentive for estate agents to leave the clear market leader as the shift to online sales continues.

“In short, we have seen Rightmove evolve into the UK property portal of choice.”

Really impressed by Kremer Signs

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)!
