Relocating across the country was daunting but Rightmove's draw-a-search feature let me hunt within exact boundaries near my new job. Photos and floorplans were detailed enough that I could shortlist confidently before travelling for viewings. Couldn't recommend it more.
Draw-a-search, detailed floorplans
Rightmove is the most comprehensive place to browse UK property and I check it daily. The website is excellent, though the mobile app occasionally logs me out and loses my filters. Minor annoyance against an otherwise top service.
Comprehensive listings
App logs out and drops filters
Rightmove had by far the widest selection of listings in our area and the map search made it easy to focus on the right postcodes. The instant alerts meant we were among the first to view the flat we eventually bought. Brilliant tool for serious buyers.
Huge listing coverage, great alerts
I kept enquiring about flats on Rightmove only to be told by the agent they'd already been let weeks ago. It's frustrating wasting time on properties that should have been removed. The portal itself is fine but the stale listings are a real problem.
Big selection
Outdated listings still showing as available
Whenever I'm looking to move I start with Rightmove because almost every agent lists here. The sold prices history and school catchment filters helped me make a properly informed offer. Saved searches kept everything organised across weeks of hunting.
Sold price data, reliable filters
