    Most of the ones "newly listed" today within my search area were listed in July/August and marked as SSTC. 

    I don't know how they manage to delete all records of them being previously listed. They even have the original summer garden photos in full flower.

    Simple. Delete the old listing, create new one. New one has a new unique reference and can't be tracked by things like property log etc. 
    Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.

    Interesting. After 2nd lot of buyers pulled out of mine and it went back on it was on bottom of the last page. Mentioned this to agent and they said nothing they could do about it due to strict RM rules.

    Did you cut the price?

    No, I increased it.

    Shame really, because had it been listed at the correct price in the first place I could have reduced the price adding "offers over" to bring the property back to the front page.

    But unfortunately the agent's strategy had been to under price it to create a bidding war, and bring in many viewings from people who couldn't afford what we actually wanted for it.

    Has anyone actually seen a flood of new listings today? I've had one through my Rightmove alerts, and it was 'so-so'.
    Nope one on my alerts also. Way over priced, 25% more than an identical one ,listed last week

    If went back on less than 13 weeks (think it's 13 but there is a fixed limit) after it first went on it is counted as the same listing.

    There's definitely a time limit for rightmove, waiting for ours to appear to confirm it's gone back on as 'new' as I don't know when it actually disappeared last time around.
