Someone has stolen my images and is using them on this website. My flat has never been available to rent as we are a council property and are looking for a swap. Potentially a scam website.

Hi Emily

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We take reports regarding unauthorized use of images and potential misuse of listings very seriously. Based on the information you provided, we would like to investigate this situation as soon as possible to ensure that any content that should not appear on our platform is addressed promptly.

Could you please send us the following information so we can locate and review the listing in question:

- A link to the page where the images appear on our website
- Confirmation that the images belong to you
- Any additional details that may help us identify the listing

You can send it to info@spotrental.co.uk

Once we receive this information, we will review the case and take appropriate action if necessary, including removing the content if it violates our policies.

We appreciate you notifying us about this and look forward to resolving the issue quickly.

Kind regards,
Kristine

Lack of transparency and poor value for money


Lack of transparency and poor value for money

At first glance the website looks useful, but there are several serious issues.

Rental prices are not clearly specified – it is often unclear whether the price is per month (pcm) or per week (pw), which is very misleading when searching for a property.

There is no option to report or flag listings that appear outdated or suspicious, which is a major downside for a platform that charges users.

Finally, the paid subscription offers little to no real value and this cannot be stopped for the first 24h . You pay to contact landlords who often do not respond, and many listings can be found for free on other websites.

Overall, the service does not justify the cost. I would advise being very cautious before subscribing.

Hi Gianmaria,

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify a few points to ensure an accurate picture of how Spotrental.co.uk works:

• Pricing information: We clearly display the rental price provided by the landlord. Whether the price is weekly or monthly is not something we invent or hide; it is simply not specified by the landlord. In these situations, renters are encouraged to ask the landlord directly for clarification.

• Reporting listings: You can always contact our support team if a listing appears outdated or suspicious, and we will investigate and remove it if necessary.

• Subscription and value: Our subscription gives full access to contact landlords. We do not control landlord response times, and we do not delay cancellations. Users can cancel at any time after the first 24 hours through their account settings or by contacting support via email.

We appreciate all feedback, but it is important that it reflects how the platform actually operates.

Regards,
Kristine

Not impressed

1st you have to pay a £1 to contact them regarding any property then you pay the £1 increasing to after 4 days £49.99 Only to find out the property that's advertised as "Available " ACTUALLY isn't then they send up properties that are not in your criteria.

We were looking for a property with a large kitchen, and thanks to Spotrental and the many photos available on the site, we were soon able to form an idea of which property we wanted to rent. We found exactly we were looking for.

A Costly Disappointment

A Costly Disappointment

I signed up for Spotrental hoping to find a flat, but instead I was charged *£39* just to access listings that redirected me to other subscription-based websites. Many of the advertised properties turned out to be *spam listings*, often pulled from places like Facebook Marketplace — outdated, unavailable, or outright misleading.

The platform felt more like a paywall than a helpful service. I wasted both *time and money*, and didn’t get a single legitimate viewing out of it. If you're considering Spotrental, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.…

Very dubious on the legitimacy of some of the listings.
Property shown on the map is not even in Plymouth.
Previous property I payed to get the landlord details, which was already rented out (3 weeks later it's still showing as available.

Don’t Fall for Their ‘Free’ Trial Trap

I signed up for a £1 trial to explore the platform, but after four days I forgot to cancel—and was immediately slapped with a £40 charge. I contacted customer service the very next day to explain the honest mistake, but they showed zero empathy or willingness to help. Being penalised £40 for a simple oversight feels like a bait-and-switch. Avoid this service—it’s nothing short of a rip-off.

We are a family consisting of 11 family members, myself, my husband and 9 children.

With this large number, it is always difficult to find a rented house, but through spotrentalm we were able to rent a house.

Finally, after a 9-month search, we were able to get a house and even then in our home village, we are extremely happy with this and are moving in next week.
