Rightmove- wrongmove

If you want to rent a property thro this company. .. don't. They call themselves credit checkers, joke. I applied for a property £570 per month, after paying £130 holding fee I'm told I'm told my income falls short of their criteria, implying I can't afford the said rent. Strange I'm currently paying £ 80 more than that,and having proof that it's paid on time and in full every month. Then I'm told I need a guarantor or pay 6mnths in advance and need to prove I have £1000 savings. What the hell has that hit to go with it. This all because THEY don't take housing benefit payments to me into account. Utterly disgusted with these people. They FORCE you out of application and refuse to return holding fee .Will be reporting them. So if you want to rent, don't claim housing benefit s they will block your application !!!!!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for providing more information. I am sorry that you are unhappy with your experience with us. Rightmove landlord and tenant service are happy to accept all forms of income towards an applicant’s affordability, in cases of housing benefit, we are able to accept this means of income. In order to do so, we need confirmation from the relevant housing authority, confirming the amount the applicant is due to receive, the length of time they are due to receive it and confirmation it is for the property they are applying for.In cases where, for whatever reason we are unable to verify any form of income, we can work with the tenant and the agent as long as they supply an acceptable guarantor or pay the rent in advance. Our referencing is however only a suggestion based on the information supplied and verified via our team and ultimately the decision falls with the landlord of the property as the vested party.Thank you again for taking the time to leave us a review, we are always grateful for feedback. If you'd like to get in touch directly, please contact us at talk-to-us@rightmove.co.uk - we'd be happy to hear from you.Best wishes, Rightmove

Lack of professionalism and efficiency in carrying out referencing

I am writing this review to express my disappointment and frustration with the referencing process carried out by Rightmove.Firstly, I must address the significant delay in sending reference emails to my listed references causing unnecessary anxiety and uncertainty on my part as an applicant.Furthermore, it is disheartening to note that even after alerting Rightmove about the delay and prompting action, there was no proactive effort from your team to rectify the situation promptly. I had to continuously follow up and make numerous calls to ensure that the necessary emails were sent to my references. This lack of initiative and responsiveness raises concerns about the level of professionalism and efficiency within Rightmove's referencing process.In addition to the delay, I encountered another issue when seeking clarification from Rightmove agents. Upon contacting them, I was provided with incorrect documentation, which only added to the confusion and frustration I was already experiencing. This mistake not only reflects poorly on the accuracy of the information provided by Rightmove but also creates unnecessary obstacles for applicants during an already stressful process.Furthermore, I must emphasize the poor communication exhibited by Rightmove throughout the referencing process. It was disappointing to discover that, on multiple occasions, I had to take the initiative and contact Rightmove to inquire about the progress of my application or to provide any additional information that might have been required.I have been through previous referencing processes multiple times from different companies, and it was smooth and fast with online tracking and no need to call someone to write the wrong documentation.I strongly urge Rightmove to evaluate its current referencing procedures, implement measures to ensure promptness and accuracy and establish effective lines of communication with its customers. Otherwise, I really hope I don't have to deal with Rightmove again.Update: The only helpful person was James, when I called he introduced himself, has good communication skills and was the only one who put me on hold and read all the previous documentation to understand the situation and listen to me and concluded the call by giving me his action plan.I still don't recommend their service and will give feedback to my letting agency.

Misleading adds 1 bedrooms and parking

Unfortunetely I have to give 1 star, hordes of landlord's put misleading adds you search for a flat and find bedrooms advertised. There should be someone who bans these agencies and also I recently looked for properties with garden and have PARKINGS POPPING UP , parking are a bane of this app, please add an option to not display parking and multi occupancy let's and if anyone breaks these rules ban the mfkers , it is not enjoyable to scroll trogh useless things like in 2023

Terrible website - does not include the service charge for many flats

Terrible website - they're very happy to waste flat buyer's timeRightmove is a terrible website for flat buyers, as very few flats include the most important details, such as the annual service charge and annual council tax costs. I'm also looking for a flat with a balcony and lift. You cannot search by any of these criteria; even though it is very simple improvement to implement. The only way to find a flat with a balcony and lift is to click into every single listing... well, it's pretty insulting that Rightmove think that people have nothing better to do! I have been using a competitor's website as it allows me to enter keywords and also search for a balcony.Every time I have run a search, I have had to click into each individual property to look for the annual service charge, only to then find it's not there. This is a really important factor for flat-hunters and I'm fed up with estate agents omitting this essential information. I then have to email the agents and give them all of my details just to obtain the service charge, which then turns out to be extortionate. I currently pay 5K per year on my service charge and 2K on council tax. I wish to move somewhere to reduce my costs but so far I have clicked into around 60 properties and only a handful had the service charge. This is why I'm giving Rightmove one star as they're very happy to waste potential buyers time by not insisting estate agents enter this crucial information, which the agents already have.

No1 property site

In my humble opinion, Rightmove is the number 1 site for buying and selling properties. They always have the biggest selection to view online. Usually with plenty of photos and information. The site is very easy to use. I always look at Rightmove before any other property site.

Good customer service, website isn't the best

We rent, website was great for moving to a new city for work, but it can be clunky at times and found it easier to look at properties and then transfer to the actual letting agent site as there was to many layers between looking and actually getting to organise a viewing when using the site directly. Megan from tenant services was amazing, didn't push products on us, gave a clear explanation of the services available, and was a joy to speak to.

My experience with Rightmove

Rightmove is a powerful tool when it comes to searching for house, where one is buying or selling a home. The search options, although no substitute for an actual viewing, help one to form a fairly accurate idea of what a house offers in terms of quality and size.
