    Where I've added I was the first person there... so won't see any reductions for awhile.

    The tool's only been in use for about 3 days, so it is encouraging it's picking some up.

    If I spot one I will post the postcode here so people can look/see for themselves what happens.

    What I did was: loaded up every property of any price for a whole town; loaded every property up to about £200k for an entire county; loaded up every property for every area I'd been brought up in -and- where my sisters live - and where my parents live.

    So quite a good bit of community spirit there methinks.

    I am just going to give it another half hour blast of random areas ... rightmove has always been one of my top hobbies (sad, but I have odd obsessions).
    I've done where I live now, where I've lived previously (married to the raf so have done 3 other areas plus this one), where my in-laws live and where my best friend lives. Fed up now, will do some more in the week.

    Just a word of warning. Beerhunter informs us an update will be along soon.

    Still, it's jolly good fun.
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

    the reductions I've seen have been on things I've added

    I was one of the first people to be using it I think

    Sorry Nenen, this only works with Firefox. You'll have to download that.

    You can still use explorer as your browser, but to get the benefit of BH's tool you'll have to use Firefox for browsing RightMove.

    Once you get going with Firefox you'll find it fine, it's much the same as explorer, but the built in spell check is brilliant.
