News Flash - Evil Estate agents Sabotage Property Bee

Evil Estate agents: Property Bee Sabotage

Estate Agents and Rightmove are well known for attacking websites and programs that have shown the great British public the falls in house prices. They have tried to kill off Property Snake and almost succeeded. Now they have turned their attention to the newer and widely popular Property Bee that lets you view price drops on Rightmove.

They have attempted to play about moving the price fields hence the falls in price not being recognised. However as we speak a newer version of Property Bee is being tested to compensate.

Below is news on the proposed Property Bee counter attack, Rightmove may have drawn blood but the Bees generals are rapidly repairing the hive and shortly sting again.

    It looks like Beerhunter has fixed the problem now.:D The new version of Property Bee is out.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    I think RM are simply trying to protect their data. The data is provided for a particular reason (to advertise houses for sale) and pirates who steal the data for other uses should be prosecuted IMHO.

    But maybe that's just me.

    wrong, it's public domain information to facilitate the sale of houses.

    extrapolating the data is no worse than copying and pasting from news sites.

    You have to go into each individual property now on the old one to get changes and you get a dark blue box saying they moved the price field. So new data from the old program will not come up.

    The new property bee has got this adjusted fine.

    Maybe.

    Copying from other sites is also wrong.

    I just got a few that added "(Fixed Price)" next to the actual price. Right, I am really going to pay that!!!!! Especially on houses that have been on the market since February with no luck!

    If I download the new version of the Bee, will it still give all the old information on properties I've been watching for a while, or will this get wiped?

    By the way, the Bee is one of the most fantastic ideas for the promotion of free trade and fair dealing. Well done to all concerned.
