Marketing spend without a system is a discretionary cost. Marketing with the right partner is an instructed-listing pipeline.
Rightmove is the UK's number one property portal, and Propertymark's headline sponsor. Over 80% of all time spent on property portals happens on Rightmove. For Kerfuffle members, this page is a practical guide to optimising what you already pay for - from listing quality and data products to the features most agents underuse.
With 73% of vendor instructions in the secondary market coming from Rightmove users and 80% of rental properties placed via the portal, stepping away is not a realistic option for most agencies. What is realistic is making sure every pound you spend on Rightmove is working properly - and that you are using the tools in your package rather than just paying for a listing.
Many agencies pay for Optimiser or Optimiser Edge but leave marketing products, data tools and enhancement features untouched. The gap between what is available and what is actively used represents real money left on the table.
Properties with professional photography, accurate pricing and complete descriptions sell and let faster. Rightmove's own data shows homes that did not need a price reduction sold in 36 days on average, versus 127 days for those that did - listing quality at the outset is critical.
Rightmove's package tiers include market data and insights tools that can sharpen your valuations and advice to vendors. Agents who use these consistently tend to win more instructions by presenting credible, evidence-based price guidance.
35% of independent estate agents were subscribed to Optimiser Edge by end of 2025, up from 31% in 2024. This is the fastest-growing part of Rightmove's agency offering - agents who engage with it early have an advantage while adoption is still building.
Kerfuffle members can access support on extracting maximum value from their Rightmove subscription. These are the areas where most agencies find the biggest gains.
Understand exactly which tools and products are included in your current tier. Many agents have access to features they have never activated - from enhanced analytics to demographic targeting tools.
Ensure all listings meet the quality standard for photography, floor plans and description completeness. Rightmove research consistently shows that presentation quality is the biggest single driver of enquiry rate.
Rightmove's market data tools give you comparable evidence for valuations and vendor conversations. Agents who bring data to appraisals win more instructions - and set properties at prices that actually sell.
More than 50% of independent agents purchase incremental products above their base package. Understand what each product does before deciding whether it is worth adding - and talk to Kerfuffle before committing to any commercial upgrade.
Rightmove is Propertymark's headline sponsor and a Propertymark Industry Supplier. Kerfuffle works with members to review their Rightmove setup, identify underused features, and - where relevant - support conversations about package upgrades or commercial reviews.
Rightmove's scale is what makes it the infrastructure layer of UK property. These are the headline figures from their own reported data and Propertymark's conference materials.
