According to reports UK agents’ website, OnTheMarket.com has attracted 10 million visits in three months, Chief Executive, Ian Springett, reportedly says, “We are confident in becoming the number two property portal by the end of January 2016 on our way to achieving our medium term objective of becoming the market leader.”

“We are experiencing impressive levels of returning visitors as well as a high percentage of new ones, while consumers and agents tell us the website is clean and fresh and they are impressed by its lightning speed and by its responsive design (unique among the major portals). This allows it to adapt to the screen size of whatever device is being used to view it.”

OnTheMarket.com is the property website of Agents’ Mutual Ltd. Member agents commit to advertise their properties on no more than one other portal, which means in most cases removing their properties from either Rightmove or Zoopla,  OTM does not feature properties marketed by online-only agents.The board of OTM currently includes senior representatives of Chestertons, Douglas & Gordon, Glentree Estates, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, Knight Frank, Rook Matthews Sayer, Savills, Spicerhaart and Strutt & Parker that are advertising all their properties on the site.
