TrustpilotMessy and misleading.
Messy and misleading.We drove 1,5h too view the property to only discover that is for 12 months rent - add said min tenancy 12 months which is suggesting that the longer the better and this is what we ware looking for. A lovely man who was at the property shared that people are coming from much further places to also be shocked at the length of the contract cup! Imaginge driving all day to view peppery which you want to rent long term to find out that after a year you have to move out! What a waste of time, petrol and energy! And where are those private landlords? Adds about the site says is private landlords but there is 1 landlord per 200 agencies. What's the point using OTM?

Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience viewing a property. OnTheMarket is a property search website which advertises properties on the estate agent's behalf, we are not an estate agency. We'd recommend contacting the agency that conducted the viewing to share your feedback as we're unable to assist any further. OnTheMarket only accepts property listings from estate agents, private landlords are unable to list directly with us. We wish you all the best in your property search.

TrustpilotOnline valuation preposterous. Website issues.
Online valuation is a fraction of true price. Around 10% of property's actual value.According to your valuation, property has reduced in value by around £200k since purchased 8 years ago!And is now worth £37k. Really?!Cannot click on feedback button, hence the review.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with the results of your online valuation. The price given is an estimate based on the information provided. We'd always recommend you speak to an expert local agent to get a more precise valuation should you wish to sell. They will be able to take into account things like your local market and any changes that have been made to the property like extensions or renovations. The team are looking into the feedback button, apologies this wasn't working for you. Thanks again for the feedback and all the best.

On The Market is fresh, new & innovative and should be embraced by all independent estate agents in order to promote their businesses in a fairer and cost effective manner. With constant development and improvement I feel they have our best interests at the heart of their business.

TrustpilotFine until you have problems with their website!
I've been trying to contact OnTheMarket about a problem I've been having with their website - it won't let me view the properties that I'd saved and plan to view this week!! I contacted them via FaceBook, but it's clearly just an automated message that they sent out in response, as it's totally irrelevant to the problem I'm having, and is exactly the same response as I had when I had a problem previously. Come on OnTheMarket, without people like me, you wouldn't have a job, so at least do the job you have properly!!

TrustpilotRude service
I was deceived into viewing a property that I seriously wanted. Offered to pay but was deceived to view other properties that weren’t what I wanted.Even if you want to treat people badly and shabbily, have the decency to be upright.Poor and very poor agent. The agent was so rude and all for what??? Very sad.

TrustpilotUseless valuation tool.
Put my house details into their valuation model and it came up with a value 50% below similar houses sold in my area. A complete waste of time. It then listed local agents to contact for a proper valuation. Presumably to get commission . A total con.

TrustpilotInaccurate third party advertising
In terms of student accommodation watch out . This company act as third party advertisers for student rental accommodation companies and do not review the accuracy of property descriptions themselves . Avoid any student accommodation advertised by On the Market.Further to the reply from On the Market this is my update:1. I am aware that you are not an estate agent as outlined in my review. I know you are an advertising portal . 2. If you are getting agents to sign agreements that listings are accurate , what action do you take if they are very inaccurate ? Clearly none 3. You along with the agents need to be more responsible for what you advertise to young people .4. Your processes need to be tightened to ensure student health and safety is protected .

TrustpilotWorse search engine going
Worse search engine going, looses search parameters, really clunky, doesn't seem to matter if chrome or edge. I'm off to rightmove, cue reply from onthemarket inferring it's your fault, haven't set your browser up correctly etc......don't have this issue with rightmove....so you've asked for more info, well if you open a property up on the map you then have to click on a small cross to close it, if you miss it opens up the entire property, on the right move site you just click away and it closes..... do i need to do you're development work for you?

GoogleMy five stars for Paul Watts Agents would be 10 if I could give 10.
To say I felt safe in their hands is an understatement, as without their professionalism, integrity and dogged commitment to both myself as the purchaser and their client the vendor, we could never have made what was a very complicated transaction ( due to the fact that in the chain of seven, there was a particularly acrimonious relationship with one of the vendors) work and proceed to completion. Margaret Annable with her constant communication with all parties involved in the very lengthy chain meant that we were kept constantly informed of all developments every step of the way. Indeed my own solicitor remarked how he’d rarely dealt with such professionalism from an estate agent. I’m so grateful and will be forever in her debt as, moving from Buckinghamshire to Bournemouth with a seriously disabled son it was vital that we didn’t lose a home which was perfect for him and Paul Watts with Margaret and her lovely staff made it happen for us. We still can’t quite believe it really

They found me an excellent property, were helpful with contacting solicitors and expedited everything when required.
