EA relisting all properties on Rightmove?

Checked my saved properties on Rightmove yesterday and all houses from one particular Estate Agent were removed. However, a new search shows they are still there but must have been relisted. The cynical side of me says it's to reset the number of days the house has been on the market for, so it looks like they've all just come on the market yesterday (using property bee)!!! Anybody else notice this happening sometimes?

    use property hive and beat them..it is a great tool
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Yes, I've seen it happen with an agent in the midlands. It turned out the agency had installed a new computer system and they confirmed this had caused all their properties to be relisted on RM. They then spent the next 10mins moaning about the new computer system....

    It would not surprise me in the slightest if this was not true. Any profession bending the truth so much when it comes to describing properties will no doubt have no hesitation in manipulating any system to their advantage.

    A local EA in my neck of the woods does this all the time - I figure it's not just to reset all the PropertyBee data but also so that on Rightmove if you are searching for all houses in an area listed in Last 24 hours/3 days they reappear and shown again...
