The Rightmove Trick You Didn't Know About

Updated: Sep 3

If you’re someone who scrolls Rightmove like it’s your second job, then you need to know about this game-changing browser extension: Property Log It’s completely free, incredibly simple to use, and once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever property-hunted without it.


Property Log is a free browser extension (available on Chrome and Firefox) that reveals the price history of properties listed on Rightmove.

Once installed, it adds a small box to every Rightmove listing, showing:

  • The original asking price

  • Any price drops

  • The date those changes happened


It’s like unlocking a behind-the-scenes look at every listing. Suddenly, you’re not just seeing what the seller wants, you’re seeing how confident (or desperate) they might be.


So, why is it so useful? Let’s say you’re looking at a flat listed at £450,000. With Property Log, you might spot that it was originally listed for £500,000 three months ago and has been reduced twice already.


That tells you:

  • The seller might be open to lower offers

  • It’s been sitting on the market for a while

  • There may be room for negotiation


It also helps you spot relisted properties. Sometimes sellers remove a listing and re-upload it to make it look "fresh", Property Log will still show the original listing history.


I’ve been using the free extension of Property Log for months now and it’s honestly become an essential part of my house-hunting process.


What I love is that it:

  • Gives me extra insight without needing to ask an estate agent

  • Helps me understand the true value trajectory of a property

  • Lets me track whether properties I’m watching are reducing in price


It’s the kind of tool that makes you feel like a more informed buyer, which is exactly what you want when you're dealing with one of the biggest purchases of your life.


Property Log doesn’t change Rightmove, it enhances it. It helps you see beyond the glossy estate agent description and gives you the kind of data that actually helps with your decision-making.


If you're serious about buying, negotiating, or even just browsing smartly, this is one extension you need.
