no ability to remove auction properties…

no ability to remove auction properties or park homes, also no ability to exclude keywords! it seems zoopla is much better with the filtering but credit where credit is due the map function is much better than zoopla's and also the ability to hide a property is nice but sadly I will have to use zoopla for now as the the properties on auction are cluttering my search and I'm wasting alot of time there :(

We were not expecting a police check!

I wish that there was an option to give zero stars. We are in the process of renting a property and the agency has unfortunately handed over the process of initial checks to the Rightmove and the process cannot have been more difficult. With moving a job and house, we have got enough on our plates and they have made it worse. This is the first time we have experienced such level of scrutiny of our employment references almost infringing on our privacy. The process has become so prolonged that it is delaying sorting out the schools for our kids. We have never faced this issue in the past and having experienced it for the first time, we will actively avoid having to deal with Rightmove again. With everything going on due to relocation and job move, one does not want so many hurdles in sorting out the house. Even DBS is far more straightforward.Having read the other reviews, it all makes sense now. Their referencing process has been an issue. However, we did not know that we would be dealing with them rather than the actual agency.

Been using the site for years as it has market position. However just noticed there is no report button for incorrect/opportunistic listings. Properties listed as Freehold but the description says Leasehold. Park Homes always listed as detached houses to try to get them more views. Land showing up in searches for houses. Commercial properties turning up as houses. Companies for sale. The list goes on and you have to really sift through a lot of rubbish to see the type of property you are actually looking for.

What a joke this Rightmove is

What a joke this Rightmove is. So many of the rental properties I enquire about are either no longer available or the agents just don't bother to get back to you. It's little wonder Estate Agents have such a poor reputation.

Disgusting

Giving them a 1* star review because of their corrupt little sub-company 'HomeViews'.

Terrible and inefficient

Terrible and inefficient. Partner has been self employed for a year out of Uni, while I am looking to go from part time to full time in my job coming out of Uni. Van Mildert have made it an absolute ordeal trying to sort all the referencing. A complete lack of ownership of our situation has led to us going round in circles, and the wait times on the phone are horrendous. Our situation is a tricky and unique one, but could have been dealt with easily enough if this company wasn't such a useless and unhelpful entity.

Useless company

Useless company! Almost lost the flat what I wanted to rent because of them! They waited 8 days to let me know they still need something form my employer! 8 days!!!! I just had a miss call from them, tried to call them back, after 10 minutes waiting to talk to somebody I gave up. I sent them an email with my reference number and a question why did they call me etc. nobody been bother to reply back. 4 days before I had to move in a new flat still waiting for the contract to be signed just got an e-mail from Van Mildert they need more info from me! Well! That was a bad joke and the perfect experience for a company who had no idea what they are doing and how!!! Can't count how many e-mail/phone call I had have during that 3 days because they had no clue of anything!!! Thank you again for that 3 nightmares day!!!

Megan was incredibly helpful, attentive and polite. We were busy with the move so it wasn’t always a perfect time to talk, she called back at the time we agreed and we got everything sorted in a 10 minute call.

Having taken the time to point out to…

I have in the past taken the time to point out to Rightmove that by displaying the date that a property comes onto the market that it benefits the "Buyer" and not the "Seller". Imo the longer it is [showing] that it is on the market then the "Buyer" thinks that they can knock [more] off of the price. By continuing with this policy and ignoring my point it proves that they are engineering sales in favour of the "Buyer" and not the "Seller" who is their customer ! Ok guys, just to prove a point; our property has been taken off of the market, which leaves me thinking that without your "Sellers" - you just don't have a business. Whilst I realise that one property will not make any difference, you might wish to show some business loyalty to those who are providing you with a living.Then we have this......"Reply from Rightmove2 hours agoGood afternoon John,Thank you for getting in contact.All residential property listings on Rightmove have an added on date to show users of the site the date the property came to market. I want to assure you that this isn't something we have done as preferential treatment, but so we can be transparent about the listing history of the property.Many thanksRightmove"Thank you but why do [you] feel the need to be (so called) "transparent" when it is not a request of either a "Buyer or a Seller"? Buyers will make all the necessary checks on a property, as such, the way that you list properties are detrimental to the "Seller" which may incorrectly indicate something is wrong with a property which may not be the case. In light of that, a property concerned might not even get a viewing due to a perception that something is wrong. With respects your business is surely there to "Sell" and not create problems.

We are agents advertising with Rightmove, we have a total of 95 properties advertised with them.They have just put up our monthly fee with them from £3360 to £5290, we have been using them for 4 years and in this time we have had over 6 accountants manager, they do not call to discuss, they do not listen!Because of their size, we have to use them, I think they offer their clients ( estate agents ) a very poor deal compared to Zoopla or Onthemarket or even Boomin

Full of scammers and no support…

Full of scammers and no support providedI found a rental property on right move, went for a viewing and proceeded to put in an offer. Everything seemed typical as I’ve moved flats a number of times in the last few years so I completed referencing with through the agent listed on rightmove, signed a tenancy agreement and paid a deposit and partial rent ahead of the move in date.The listing turned out to be a scam and I reported it to action fraud and my bank. Upon reporting to rightmove, they provided zero support and refused to take any accountability for the scammers that used their supposedly ‘legitimate’ platform to facilitate their scams. Avoid using it at all costs and be aware that you could fall prey to a scam if you use rightmove as scammers are rife on the platform!!!

Discriminate against anyone who's been on sick pay, no matter circumstances

Our own letting agent was happy to rent to us, Rightmove, the system they used, wasn't. My partner was off sick for a few months and had to go onto sick pay; he told his letting agent and arranged a repayment plan with them ahead of time, and was all paid up again after a total of about 3 months. Letting agent were really pleased, had no issues with it whatsoever, and he paid them a month's rent in advance as a thank you/ good faith gesture. They said they'd have him back as a tenant any time, and we made arrangements to move into a new place together.Rightmove hated this when we tried to move somewhere else. They insisted he couldn't be trusted with rent and had to pay 12 months (nearly 6 grand) up front in order to secure the place we wanted.We earnt more than enough to cover rent each month, had a combined income that was 20k over the required amount, both in full-time employment, and offered a guarantor on top of this. Landlord and agent for new property perfectly happy with this, but Rightmove once again wasn't.My partner had been suicidal, took time off to recover, and his reward is Rightmove telling him that, despite doing everything right, he's not fit to rent anymore.Edit: Contacted Rightmove, after lots of emails and calls going unanswered I got told there was nothing they could do and there's no way to a case by case review.

I have emailed and tried to call right move quit a few times now but not getting any response. My partner is Ukrainian, receives universal credit (I work full time) but because she doesn’t have a credit history, she cannot be taken into consideration. The council has offered to be a guarantor for us but they won’t accept this either. Still no response to my emails. I know a lot of Ukrainian families are going through the same thing. Is right move going to update their box ticking protocol?

I am a new business and was going to use Right move as a platform for rentals and sales. I called them earlier in the week and no one has called back. I sent an email and also spoke to a guy and left my details. Its weird looks like they don't want any new business.Might have to go to Zoopla and see what they can do for me.

I spoke with Michael regarding some confusion I had with the application process. I found him to be incredibly kind and professional while dealing with the matter, which I really appreciated. He took time to explain anything I was confused about and reassured me that it was no trouble at all. It was refreshing to speak to someone who treated me with respect and if I have any further problems I will be specifically requesting his assistance in the future. Cheers.
