Property portal OnTheMarket's share price is down to a personal record-breaking low, and it happened just before its latest trading phase.

The price fell to 69.0p during its recent trading, down 3.5 percent from the day’s opening figure and the lowest recorded by the share.

It’s been a torrid recent period for the portal, which launched on the London Stock Exchange in February 2018 at 165.0p, or almost 2.4 times its current level.

Its market capitalization is now only £46.34 million. 

OnTheMarket’s biggest share price jolt in recent times was in September when it closed around 10 per cent down after admitting in an unscheduled trading statement that “market conditions” meant the rate of conversion of agent members from free or discounted deals to full-price deals had been slower than expected.
