    I recently installed property bee and on top of being able to track price changes I've noticed an interesting phenomenon in text changes. I tried copying and pasting it from this example but it didn't come out as shown on pop up. The text is below.

    History
    date event
    13rd May 2008

    * Subtitle changed: 4 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms(on the history pop up this is crossed out), 1 Bathroom, Semi-Detached House

    1st May 2008

    * Subtitle changed: 4 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom(on the history pop up this is crossed out), 4 Bathrooms, Semi-Detached House

    22nd Apr 2008

    * Subtitle changed: 4 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms(on the history pop up this is crossed out), 1 Bathroom, Semi-Detached House

    14th Apr 2008

    * Initial entry found.

    Why is he changing the number of bathrooms every two weeks? This is not the only property that this particular estate agent has adjusted the bathrooms in. Here's another one
    My theory is that it keeps the property up in the most recently updated list or something like that.

    the EA of a house near me keeps changing it from NEW HOME to NEW DEVELOPMENT and back again every week, there must be about 20 changes since the house first came on Draft.ie.
    I assumed it bumped it back up to the top of the list.

    It soesn't appear to bump them to top of list but what it does is keep the Last Updated bit recent. Maybe this so the newcomer to the site thinks it hasn't been on the market for ages. What ever the reason, at some point it has to be called giving false info surely? Either a house has 4 bathrooms or it doesn't . Is it worth reporting to Daft?

    This has been bugging me so much that I decided to phone the agent and ask them why the number of bathrooms keep changing. Their reply was that it is daft.ie who change it not them. Hmmmmmm....I wonder....

    Your example is one of the 4 beds in Rosan Glas. They are 3 * en-suite + main bathroom- so it is actually accurate to say 4 bathrooms- why the hell they keep meddling with it though is beyond me.
