Background on OnTheMarket:
OnTheMarket plc, the agent-backed company which operates the OnTheMarket.com property portal, is the third biggest UK residential property portal provider in terms of traffic. It aims to deliver a market-leading, agent-backed alternative to Rightmove and Zoopla, offering a first-class service to agents at sustainably fair prices and becoming the go-to portal for serious property-seekers.
OnTheMarket plc was admitted to AIM in February 2018 with £30 million in new capital in order to support a new growth strategy for the business.
In May 2019, traffic to OnTheMarket.com reached a new monthly record of 25.4 million visits*. As an indication of strongly increasing consumer engagement with OnTheMarket.com, more than 1 million people were using the portal's property alerts service in May 2019. OnTheMarket sent over 100 million instant alert emails in May. To place this in context, in its 2018 results announcement, Rightmove reported that it had sent an average of 65 million instant alert emails per month during the year.
At its IPO in February 2018, OnTheMarket was 70% owned by over two thousand agent firms.
With backing from its agent owners, OnTheMarket has developed unique sources of competitive advantage such as the thousands of "New & exclusive" property listings it receives every month from its agents to display 24 hours or more before they are on Rightmove or Zoopla.
