In Rightmove Plus, the dashboard on the landing page and your Market Share Reports pull data from your 'default' patch. 


We advise the patch stock percentage is at 100%, to get the most accurate results in the market share reports.

How to make a patch 'default'

Whether you're creating a new patch, or editing your current patch, you can use the same steps to make your patch 'default'. 


To do this, go to the 'Define your filters' page, and then tick the 'Set as default' box, and then 'update/save'. See the screenshot below:

Once this has been saved, the details in your Market Share Report will reflect the data in your default patch.


Key points to note

  • You can have only 1 patch set as your default patch.
  • You can select which property types and price brackets are included in this.
  • You can have up to 30 patches on Rightmove Plus.
  • There is a limit to how many postcodes can be added to an individual patch and this is measured by how many chimney pots are in the postcode area. 
  • For each map area, we will show you the postcodes you are covering, along with the percentage of your stock.

What to do if your patch is locked? 

If you've noticed that your patch is locked, and you are unable to update this, feel free to send an email to customersupport@rightmove.co.uk, and we will be able to confirm whether this needs authorisation from your head office or account manager to get this changed.
