Users stay constantly connected to the latest listings on Rightmove via the application, with pop-up alert notifications for properties matching their criteria as often as every 30 minutes.

Rightmove Desktop can provide bigger property images with each listing, as well as boasting a function to sort properties by date listed and a homepage that remembers recent searches and activity.  A further feature for estate agents allows them to view all their available listings within Rightmove Desktop which can be used for showcasing stock to potential buyers or sellers.

Miles Shipside, commercial director of Rightmove, comments:

“We are constantly looking to extend the reach of properties listed by Rightmove agents and Rightmove Desktop should prove an excellent addition to our range of products and applications which take property listings beyond the rightmove.co.uk site.

"It is designed for serious home-hunters who want a competitive edge when it comes to the latest listings on Rightmove. The quicker new listings can reach home-hunters then the quicker our agents can get enquiries about them, hopefully leading to quicker sales.”

Rightmove Desktop forms part of Rightmove’s Property To You range of applications and tools that can be accessed beyond the main website. Further features include the company’s highly successful iPhone app which won the prestigious Revolution Magazine award for ‘Best Use of Mobile’ last month, as well as a forthcoming mobile site upgrade.

Rightmove Desktop can be downloaded for free from today.
