A new free property portal, Find My Move, has launched in the UK, offering listings from over 6,600 estate and letting agencies. The platform, founded by Hampshire letting agent Mark Vine and housing professional Chris Moss, has already attracted more than 9,000 subscribers.
Find My Move allows agents and landlords to advertise homes for sale and rent at no cost. According to the founders, the portal currently lists more than 58,000 rental properties and over 435,000 homes for sale. The website has seen over 200,000 visitors in the past three months, with subscriber numbers reportedly increasing by around 3,000 each month. More than half of registered users are actively searching for a property.
The idea for Find My Move was developed in response to concerns among letting agents about the rising costs of listing properties on established portals. The founders state that their aim is to provide agents and landlords with an alternative route to market without significant advertising costs.
Unlike many traditional property portals, Find My Move is free for agents and landlords to use. The business plans to generate revenue through advertising opportunities and commercial partnerships. The founders say the platform will remain free for agents and landlords for the foreseeable future as they focus on expanding the business and increasing awareness in the property sector.
Letting agents and inventory clerks may find Find My Move relevant as a new, cost-free channel for property listings and marketing.
