The portal now enables house hunters to filter out property listings that don't come with 3D or video tours.

Andrew Goldthorpe of PropertyMutual says too many portals including Rightmove and OTM start out promising to be solely for the benefit of agents, but soon lose their way.

While existing estate agencies were recently given a 33% discount, firms joining the firm are to be given a full discount until the crisis is over.

Agent claims to have caught out portal by using a private email address to register for Property Alerts, an address which has now been used by Charcol to prospect for mortgage business.

OnTheMarket has appointed Rupert Sebag- Montefiore to its Board of Directors as independent Non- Executive Director.

Measures are part of a package of cost savings announced by the portal today as it hunkers down to survive the Coronavirus crisis.

As the Coronavirus spreads across the UK, our estate agencies face a battle to keep afloat – this is how the portals have responded to the developing crisis in the industry.

The portal, which recently ejected its CEO, says it wants to support agents with lower portal costs 'as early as possible' during the crisis.
