…that makes you the cheapest, ask THE LANDLORD to put you on the his agents list above.

…Also need to change the top listing according to what you say to show the portals Visum actually use in their £39 package

less stock available…less advertising required…more online agents competing….doesn’t sound like a good business plan umless the agents increase their fees to landlords to a more realistic cost

join the club with all the others at around £40, Visum state they do for £39 including vat either this is the cheapest or do they limit the time advertising period to say just one month or something

iigloo.co.uk is now advertising their properties on Rightmove.co.uk.

Our fee’s are also staying at the cheapest rate of £40 plus vat per property (ADVERTISING UNTIL LET).

Rightmove are very much the wnner in the portal battle, however online letting agents may have to back the new Digital Property Group plus Zoopla just on pricing…this way private landlords would find it hard to secure a route to Rightmove advertising in the future

This makes Rightmove even more elite !

Rightmove will price out larger online letting agents, in the future online letting agents will not be able to rely just on the Tenant Find model, it is just not worth it as a business model with Rightmove pricing..so must offer other services income streams.

Well I nearly just had a heart attack, just been speaking with Rightmove about there fees and I’m astonished.

Its ridiculous how much they charge online lettings compared to the traditional high street agent.

The question is do they add as much value these days now zoopla are on their way to become the leading portal.

It’s heartbreaking reading some of the comments in this, and other posts, as it appears many have had such a rough deal from letting Agents.
We offer advertising to independent landlords for £50+VAT (on our website, all the portals we use and in our window), and feed the ‘first vetted’ applicants (i.e the ones that fit the LL’s beief) onto the LL who undertake the viewing.
We can reference the applicants (£50 each incl VAT and paid by the applicant), and can produce the Tenancy Agreements for £65+VAT (its 16 pages and not from WH Smiths!).
Come on guys some letting agents try very hard to be human but we do all have to pay extortionate compliance fees, etc.
We are NALS, SAFEagent and have a fully protected client account and have been in business for over 23 years!
