to look at properties?

My partner moans because I like to check it daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times (via the app) - spending about 30mins-1hr a time!!

Maybe I am a bit obsessive!

We have a very specific area and I like to keep my eye on properties, how often do you go on Rightmove and how long do you spend on it?

Just want to show my partner im not the only one (hopefully!!)

    When we were selling and looking to buy abut 3 years ago I was on there a few times a day, just looking to see what might have been added or reduced in price in the area we were looking to move to. We moved 2 1/2 years ago and I still have a look on there at least once a week and I have no intention of moving!

    We are looking to move houses and I look on it probably most nights to see if there are any new places been added and I get emails probably every other day telling me of new propertys in the area. You are not alone! :)

    Every day for a minimum of an hour until I found the house we eventually offered on. Now my Mum has asked me to find her a house in the area as well, and so has my friend I am on there lots now!

    We did searches with in excess of 20,000 properties returned. Looking every day on a set of search criteria is not to my mind excessIve

    I go almost daily, but the area I'm looking at is small and I've restricted my search to new houses within a set price range. Therefore I only spend a few minutes each day.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!

    I wouldn't even want to think about how many times a day I look, and we've been looking for the right property for more than 2 years! You're certainly not alone!
