Globrix post on an article from the Daily Mirror entitled 'Wrongmove' which may have even more agents up in arms.
Not only is Miles Shipside quoted as saying that:
"It costs an average £1 a week per property to be on our site." He goes on to compound the damage by adding:
"It's a shame that some estate agents aren't able to spend that small amount to reach the widest possible audience in these tough times."
This smacks of a politician's spin. How would Daily Mirror readers be expected to know that rightmove charge per branch, per month and not per property? Indeed, this is hardly a statement of support in times of trouble and I expect will infuriate many agents.
This also begs the question (and I will ask at the expo if I get the chance) if a per property cost is a metric put forward to defend rightmove's position, does this mean they will provide an option to agents to advertise per property at a reasonable rate??!!

It's a terrible quote as it sounds like he regards the agents with contempt and it just confirms Rightmove's arrogance.
Unfortunately, he is also probably right.
