If you have noticed a property showing as new on Rightmove that has been previously advertised, the property may be eligible for a new date.


Fall through properties

When a property has had a sale agreed which is no longer proceeding it would be classed as a sale fall through. For us to amend the date of a property due to a sale fall through, the property needs to be marketed as Sold STC or Under Offer for 7 weeks or more.

Marketing break

A marketing break is when a property is removed from internet advertising for a period of time which can be for many different reasons. 


Properties for sale need to be removed for a minimum of 14 weeks and Lettings properties need to be removed for a minimum of 14 days in order for the property to automatically relist as new when it returns to the market as available. 


Marketed by a new agent

When a property is moved from one estate agent to another, it can appear on Rightmove with a new “Added on” date. This happens automatically when the new agent lists the property, as long as they have not previously advertised it. The 14‑week rule only applies when the same agent re-lists a property, not when it is marketed by a different agent.


If a property is showing a new date outside of the above scenarios, you can raise this by sending the Rightmove property link to our dedicated Data Quality Team at dataquality@rightmove.co.uk to investigate further.
