What information do I need to complete before advertising a sales property on Rightmove or other portals?
To ensure the correct information feeds through to Rightmove and other portals, you will need to complete the EPC, Composition One, and Marketing tabs within the Sales Instruction, as well as add Features to the property record.
When setting up a sales property for portal advertising, several key data fields must be populated to ensure the listing feeds through correctly. These are spread across a number of tabs within the Sales Instruction.
EPC Tab
The EPC tab requires the Energy Performance Certificate values to be completed before they can appear on brochures and portals. The fields to complete include:
- EPC Current EER
- EPC Potential EER
- EPC Current EI
- EPC Potential EI
- CO2 Produces
- CO2 Potential
- EPC Report ID

Composition One Tab
The Composition One tab is where you record the number of rooms within the property. The figures entered here feed through to portals. Fields include:
- Reception Rooms
- Kitchens
- Bedrooms
- Bathrooms
- Of Which Ensuite
- Total Toilets
Marketing Tab
The Marketing tab contains the key descriptive and pricing fields required for portal listings:
- Summary — a short introductory description of the property
- Description — the full property description
- Portal Requirements — this section includes several important fields:
- Advertised Price — the asking price
- Property Type — e.g. House, Flat
- Sale By — use this field to set how the property is listed; selecting POA here will hide the price on the portal and display "Price on Application" instead

Features
The Features section (accessible from the left-hand navigation panel within the Sales Instruction, under the Property heading) allows you to add bullet points highlighting key characteristics of the property. Rightmove and other portals support up to 10 key features. Some items may be pre-generated in the list and can be edited as needed. Contact support@agentos.com if you need help adding additional feature types.
