Inaccurate descriptions, stock photos

Have to say less than happy with the descriptions and images attached to properties here in Spain.We went to see properties at El Valle Golf today, and as keen golfers were of course interested in the facilities available. However, the range, practice facilities, probably even some of the golf course views displayed on the website were not of this course, totally misleading!It's not the first time we've had to deal with stock images and inaccurate descriptions from Rightmove.

Rightmove has made a stressful time 10x more stressful. My partner and I are in the process of renting a flat, Rightmove keeps asking for the same references which have been sent multiple times. We’ve had to postpone all our plans, while waiting for references to be sorted. We are constantly on hold for about 30 minutes if not more and when our call is answered nothing is sorted, not to mention that I once asked to check an email that had been sent earlier in the day and was told “we don’t read emails after 3pm”. The team is unprofessional and unhelpful.

Hello Joanna, Thank you for taking the time to contact us to provide some really important feedback. I am very sorry to hear of the experience you have had with some of the members of our team.This certainly does not seem to be representative of the standards we set for our team in going above and beyond for our tenants, and whilst sometimes the progress of a reference can be outside of our control, we always endeavour to leave no stone unturned and certainly do review emails after 3pm. I am unable to locate your application to carry out a full investigation into exactly what went wrong but if you could contact me directly via Beth.McGuire@rightmove.co.uk I will ensure this is looked into fully.Best wishesBeth

Horrible company

Horrible company that acts like a mafia. We are all waiting for the day their dominance topples as there is zero loyalty to these bullies.

Repeated requests for the same…

Repeated requests for the same information. Very poor communication. Employment reference sent several times and still they sent further requests for it. I wonder if anyone communicates with each other??Extremely frustrating process which added stress to an already stressful time. After a week of being continually ‘fobbed off’ by staff the manager dealt with my complaint in an efficient and speedy manner, just a shame the rest of the staff are not as diligent. Overall- very unimpressed. Interesting to read that the previous review seems to mention exactly the same issues!!

Hello Lynette,Thank you for contacting us to provide some valuable feedback on the service you have received. I am very sorry to hear of any frustration our processes or staff have caused.I have looked into your application and it looks like we did get quite a speedy response from your employer which was noted and actioned without issues, I am aware that there were multiple applicants on your application so I imagine this is referring to one of their applications.I would very much like to investigate this fully to see exactly what issues occured, due to GDPR I would only be able to discuss it with the applicant in question, but if they would like to contact me directly via Beth.McGuire@rightmove.co.uk, I would be very happy to offer some insight into what could have caused the delays.Best wishesBeth McGuire

Terrible Communication and timing

Literally the worst Communication from any form of business ever. provided all information requested instantly some even 5 times over, end up chasing them up for hours on hold and no replies to emails, using not just our time but also our employers with silly reference checks for 5th and 6th time. The worst part is we know we will pass everything after providing credit reports, contracts, payslips, bank details, national insurance numbers, letters from employers and landlords and still no movement (way too overboard).

Ashley · 27 August 2021

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

Hello Ashley,Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback on the service you have received, and furthermore for taking some time to speak with me on the phone today.As discussed, August is our busiest period which means it can sometimes be more difficult to reach us via telephone, but I will certainly investigate the issues you had with sending emails and connecting with our colleagues when calling in. Although we are busy, we understand there is always ways and means we can work smarter to make every customer's experience a pleasant one.As confirmed your applications are now completed, we wish you the best of luck in your new home.Best wishesBeth

Fast response, good service.

The new letting agents we contacted use Rigthmove for credit checks and they were very quick and professional on the phone.They were also quite flexible and able to use overseas income, unlike some local credit agencies who are very rigid about local income only.I had 3 phone calls with them, everytime it was very professional and polite, and it was a nice change from a numer of phone services I have recieved previously from other service providers.

Rightmove are inclusive

My son and his partner have spent some weeks trying to find a rental property in an area that’s far more conducive to their future careers aspirations, and they used Rightmove to search for their ideal property.They recently found a property that meets their needs, and were lucky enough to be offered the tenancy, subject to reference checks etc. At this point they’re currently waiting on the final checks being carried out, and a minor hitch was thrown up - however the Rightmove team are endeavouring to do their best to ensure that the tenancy goes ahead as planned, and finger’s crossed all will be well.The point of my review is this: my son has Aspergers, and struggles regarding communicating via phone/email, as he can’t see who he is talking to. I stepped in on his behalf, advocacy is something he requires from time to time.Having explained why he needs (occasional) additional support, I cannot fault the Rightmove team for their attitude - they’re inclusive, patient, and genuine in my opinion. It’s a shame that they’ve received negative reviews, as my experience has been positive (albeit on my son’s behalf). Please be assured that Rightmove do not look to fail, rather I’ve found them helpful, responsive, and understanding - and I’m qualified enough to share my opinion because there have been occasions whereby companies/service providers have been sadly lacking when it comes to supporting those with additional needs.Don’t write Rightmove off based on some of the reviews on Trustpilot, they’re far more approachable than some would have you think.

Less than 1 star, is a waist of time, super incompetent

Less than 1 star. They are taking 3 days to open a file from my guarantor. Because of them, I will not be able to move into my house on Saturday. Employer super unexpert, I tried to speak with a manager or IT department and they never let me do it. They did not provide me with any solution, only complaints. Super slow and inappropriate IT system for today. Never use this service for moving, they will only make you lose your time (and home)

As an estate agent

As an estate agent, Rightmove have been brilliant not only as a marketing tool but for the educational tools. Its features far exceed other marketing portals. Whenever I have an issue I can call the helpline and get instant response. They also offer training sessions for using the website to its full potential which has been so valuable for us as an independent agent.

No mention of Sale history!

Our property appeared on Rightmove and eventually we had a buyer. Interestingly, since we sold it, there has not been any mention of the price we bought it for( in 2008) nor the price we sold it for in 2020. Prices of other flats in the same street and in the same building which were sold after ours, do appear on Rightmove. Now our flat is being advertised again, by our purchaser, and there is no mention of its sale “ history”.Something must be wrong.The “reply” I received was not satisfactory.

I think the website is fairly clear and easy to use, I used to search few investment properties and publish few properties through estate agents....The amount of information and filters is fair and cover almost all the scenarios....Few things that I find a bit annoying 1) I do not like to see at the top of the search results the sponsored properties not respecting the sort parameter that I have set...2) in some scenarios the map view is confusing when there are two or more properties available on the same building....

Grubby spamming operation

Most of us haven't chosen to work with Van Mildert. We just have to in order to get a roof over our head. At one point they said I had to get a guarantor because I have a zero-hours contract (I don't). They asked me if I earned shares in the charity I work for (!?!). I was dealing with them at 1am (from overseas) sending paperwork after paperwork to prove to them I could afford to pay the rent. They kept telling me that they needed more. When they were finally satisfied, instead of telling me all was okay, they just stopped returning my emails. Leaving me wide awake ahead of a busy day wondering what had happened.But worst of all, having had no choice in dealing with them, is getting constant spam afterwards about renters insurance etc. I don't recall being asked if you could use my details in such way. How dare you profit from me? Toe rags.Honestly, working for a company that actively seeks to empower landlords and keep out tenants must be soul destroying - but for it just to turn into a grubby little spamming operation. Nasty company.

Hello Mr Jackson,Thank you for getting in touch to provide valuable feedback on the service you received from Van Mildert. I am very sorry to hear you were unhappy with the dealings with our staff and our procedures.Please be assured your details have been removed and you should receive no further contact from ourselves moving forward. Here at Van Mildert, we offer excellent services and products to our tenants with competitive prices, but we can understand that not everyone is interested in taking them out and apologies for any frustration our communication has caused.I have reviewed your referencing application and can shed some light on the line of enquiry we followed with your reference, I am happy to forward you an email explaining the reference process we undertook with the information we were given. I am not sure if this is the correct forum to discuss your application and I am conscious you do not want to receive any further communication from us, but if you would like to email me directly at Beth@vanmildert.net to notify me, I would be happy to forward you a more thorough overview.Finally I can see that you reached out to us for confirmation all was sufficient after 5pm on the 25th of May when our office was closed, our email turnaround time is usually 2 working hours and I can see we did respond within that time frame when our office opened at 10:05am the following morning, confirming all was received and sufficient. It is never our intention to ignore an email and we do try to ensure speedy responses as we can appreciate moving home can be a stressful experience.I hope this clarifies and resolves some of the points you have raised, but as mentioned, I am happy to discuss any further issues with you directly.Best of luck in your new home.Best wishesBeth

Brilliant company, Great service

I had a great experience with Van Mildert. In particular, Claire who dealt with the reference process and Emily sorted out the home insurance. Both ladies were so lovely and took the time to make courtesy calls to myself and my partner to make sure we felt supported through our moving process. Every correspondence had a personal touch and I felt that the advisers really care about ensuring everything ran smoothly. I really appreciated how kind and friendly they were and I felt at ease. Would use again and highly recommend to others :)
