GuideBrowser extension

Installing the browser extension

Get the extension set up in your browser so listings import in one click.

Retyping a Rightmove listing into a form by hand works well enough, but it is the slowest way to add a property and the one most likely to put a typo into a price or a postcode. The browser extension exists to skip that step altogether. One click on the listing page and the details are already in front of you, ready to save.

Installing it

The extension is live in the Chrome Web Store. It takes about ten seconds to set up, and there is nothing to configure afterwards.

It is not only for Chrome either. Any Chromium-based browser installs straight from the Chrome Web Store, so Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera and Vivaldi all behave the same way. Firefox and Safari are the two that cannot, since they do not use the Chrome Web Store at all. On those, or on a phone, uploading a screenshot of the listing does the same job, which is covered under adding properties.

  1. 1
    Install The First Move Property Importer from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. 2
    Visit a listing page on Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket. It has to be a listing for a specific property, rather than a page of search results.
  3. 3
    A round house icon button appears in the bottom-right corner of the listing page itself. There is no setup and no sign-in inside the extension, and nothing to pin to your toolbar, the button lives on the listing page rather than in your browser toolbar.
  4. 4
    Click it, and The First Move opens in a new tab with the listing’s details already filled in, ready for you to check and save.

Sign in first

Make sure you are already signed in to The First Move in that browser before you click the button. The button works by opening the app in a new tab with the listing’s details attached, and if you are signed out, you are simply bounced to the homepage and those details are lost along the way. Nothing breaks, but you will have to sign in and then go back and click the button again, so it is worth signing in first and saving yourself the round trip.

What it can see

It only activates on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket listing pages and nowhere else. When you click it, it reads the publicly visible details of the listing already in front of you, which covers the title and address, the price, bedrooms and bathrooms, the council tax band, the coordinates and the listing’s own web address, then opens The First Move with all of it ready to review before saving. The full walkthrough of what gets filled in and what still wants checking is on the adding properties page.

It collects nothing on its own account, stores nothing, and has no access to your account or password or payment details. Everything it reads is handed straight to the app in the tab it opens, inside your own browser, and goes nowhere else.
