Rom Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 ... that's what one EA wants us to think - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?searchType=SALE&locationIdentifier=BRANCH^20654&previousSearchLocation=Cesare+%26+Co%2C+Tring&useLocationIdentifier=true&savedSearchId=&displayPropertyType=&minBedrooms=&maxBedrooms=&minPrice=&maxPrice=&maxDaysSinceAdded=3&includeSSTC=true&_includeSSTC=on&primaryDisplayPropertyType=&secondaryDisplayPropertyType=&oldDisplayPropertyType=&oldPrimaryDisplayPropertyType=&newHome=&auction=false&retirement=&partBuyPartRent=&businessForSale=&sortByPriceDescending=&sortType= 15 'Sold' properties all added to Rightmove on the same day. Some of them were actually sold well over a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wig Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Estate agents lie to and manipulate the weak-minded for a living. Scumbags by default. (vast majority of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 As the dominant market leader, Rightmove should impose controls to prevent such blatent manipulation of their monthly sales stats if they are to maintain any credibility. Without regulation it's all too easy for them to assist agents (their paying clients) in creating a false illusion of the marketplace.
