Seems that the estate agents have strong faith in their soon to be launched new website. EstateAgentToday conducted an online survey on where the agents plan to advertise in the future:

There is a clear message that agents are planning to reject paid-for portals in favour of free sites, with three-quarters of agents saying they will not renew their subscriptions to Rightmove.

Yesterday morning, 959 votes had been registered. Of these, 726 (75.7%) said they would not renew with Rightmove, and 233 (24.3%) said they would.

Asked where agents would be placing their property advertising, the clear leader was Globrix with 401 votes, followed by the National Association of Estate Agents’ new free portal, Property Live, with 218 votes.

The paid-for portals Findaproperty with 231 votes came next – meaning that it is almost neck and neck with Rightmove – with Propertyfinder just behind, with 218 votes.
