SIX BRANCH ESTATE AGENCY FIRM JOINS ONTHEMARKET.COM

March 4, 2016

Watsons – a six branch firm with offices in Norfolk – is proud to announce it is now listing all of its properties at OnTheMarket.com.

From now on, Watsons will be advertising all of their properties for sale and to rent at OnTheMarket.com and Rightmove.

OnTheMarket.com announced in January that the level of overall support for the portal had risen beyond 6,500 estate and letting agent offices across the UK, which was an increase of more than 50 per cent compared with the same time last year.

The figure consists of contracted offices and agents who have signed a Letter of Intent to join OnTheMarket.com when total support reaches 7,500 offices – which is OnTheMarket.com’s next major milestone.

Nick Eley, Partner, Head of Residential, Sales and Lettings Management at Watsons, said: “OnTheMarket.com has had a strong start to the year. We believe Rightmove and OnTheMarket.com will prove to be the best combination for the marketing of our customers’ homes.”

Ian Springett, Chief Executive of OnTheMarket.com, said: “Watsons joins OnTheMarket.com at an exciting time.

“We entered the new year in a strong position, buoyed by the robust and committed support of more than 6,500 UK estate and letting agent offices and we look forward to building on this excellent start to 2016.”
