I suspect the mystery buyer is Tesco especially in view of the news that they are interested in Northern Rock. Tesco shelved their original plan to set up a property website and I wouldn’t be surprised after their initial dabbling that they take over the running of Propertyfinder. Companies such as Rightmove are not interested in buying up the competition as I have discovered first hand.

I can sense an assett stripping excercise coming on! With the costs that the company are incurring the only attractive part for a buyer would be the name, the traffic and the customer base. You gotta feel for the people involved!

I am glad to say from an agents point of view ,they are not closing .Propertyfinder in Brighton is the best website for me . I just hope that right move or fap do not buy them out as my cost per month would go up yet again .
