Its way past time that rightmove updated it search options to stop estate agents manipulation of the results e.g. allowing an entry showing “offers over” without the ability to remove those results... See more

Poor customer service, lack of privacy in contacts, multiple different people making contact, took months to get anywhere. Do not recommend then them on any level.
We had an issue with our Company details not showing correctly within Rightmove Plus. Rahima at Customer Services was able to quickly sort the issue for us.

Dear customers of Rightmove Landlord and Tenant Services. After my extensive investigation be aware that this company is not responsible under Financial ombudsman or Financial Conduct Authority and you cannot compliant against if the company damage your reputation after unprofessional handling your details and how is using them. My conclusion is that reference service offered to the landlords and agents are uncontrolled by any organisation and is fully kind of voluntary. It turned out that there is nobody to turn to after unprofessional handling our information given to them and the Rightmove Landlord and Tenant Services damaged the reputation of one of the applicants and was proven unprofessional handling the info and at the end.
I quote the response
Thank you for your response.
While referencing is not a regulated service within RLTS, as it does not fall under FCA regulation like our insurance and media offerings

Great attitude and glad to hear back! My only gripe was how long it took to get a response and it would have been nice to hear any specifics about the follow up.

House price estimate, pure fantasy whatever they say its based on, its not reality. Then sending updates that again are pure rubbish. Fishing for circumstances to give agents business which obviously would be nuts to do as data inaccurate.

I was moving and as soon as I had signed the contract, the RM team continuously tried to get me to sign up for a Virgin Media package. I understand that the team works on commission, but when I then wasn’t able to connect to Wi-Fi for a full week, all the RM team could do was send me a phone number from the website. While I appreciate that the issue may have been beyond their control once the commission was secured, I expected more support. It was especially frustrating after feeling pressured to sign up in the first place, only to be left on my own when something actually went wrong.

Not too bad on the whole.
Gave me a value and then helped me look for another house.
Took a while though hence only 3 stars. if they made it faster more people would use it.

Despite 2 weeks and many hours speaking to the "tech helpline" who's only solutions sis to delete your account and clear cookies, I still cannot log in.
Using explorer and edge so hardly unknown browsers and (as riducilou as this sounds) have send it picutrw of their own websote not allowing me in, thye have no other oideas.
I doubt very much I am alone.......Zoopla and on the market work a treat with no issues! Any business model who's reliant on 'visits' who can't fix simple password issues probably won't last log,

Rightmove is an excellent app & doesn’t deserve any negativity (simply ignore them as not legitimate) whatsoever from people. The search & save function with immediate updates is outstanding & you can find your perfect home with their help. People should thoroughly appreciate just how exceptional their service is for house hunting.

LANDLORDS BEWARE!! As a landlord I use an agent to find my tenants. One particular agent uses Rightmove for referencing. What they do not tell you is that Rightmove will give you a very scarce report to say whether the applicant has passed or failed. This “report” only gives the applicants name and current address. No employer details, no financial details ( only states the income ) nothing else. Infact the report state “ we understand X is employed”. This is not good enough. Having asked for the raw data so I can make an informed decision that all documents have been seen the answer is no! I hold an ICO as a letting agent yet Rightmove have refused to disclose information even to the agent who requested the reference. Now the tenant is refusing to show me bank statements as he said he already showed them to Rightmove.
How can a landlord seriously make an informed decision about a tenant when they see no proof whatsoever of employment.
In my opinion the Rightmove referencing is not worth doing unless you want a very vague, non committed report of the prospective tenant from a third party.

i was happy with this site until i wanted to change the email, the whole thing went screwy, it was lucky that after i deleted all the ones in google and complained that i managed to reset it at the end.
it really should not be that hard, they just have to confirm its you

Unfortunately could not get into my Rightmove A/C Cheryl the lady I dealt with was lovely very friendly and knowledgeable & talked me through all steps to get me back in my a/c. Stayed on the phone until I was sorted. Lovely lady real credit to Rightmove. Thank you so much.

1. You have advertised my neighbours property as mine.
I want the old photos of when we purchase d the property in 2007 and not my neighbours photos.
Also you need to remove my property address from what you have listed as my neighbours address.

Response: To clarify, I have already engaged directly with Rightmove Customer Support. The issue is not communication, but the requirement to provide copies of personal ID for the removal of historic property images and marketing materials, despite offering proportionate alternatives and despite other major property platforms resolving the same request without ID.
This is why I felt it was important to leave this review. From a user perspective, the approach felt excessive and out of step with reasonable privacy expectations.
If Rightmove is willing to resolve this without requiring government-issued ID, I would welcome that.
Original review: I contacted Rightmove to request the removal of historic property images and marketing material for a home that is now a private residence. While other portals (including Zoopla) removed the same data without issue, Rightmove insisted on copies of personal ID to proceed.
I’m not comfortable sharing ID documents for this purpose, particularly when alternative verification methods could be used. The process felt excessive and disproportionate for a simple request to remove old photos and brochures.
Disappointing experience and far less privacy-conscious than other property platform

I DO NOT RECOMMEND! 0 RESPONSE! 0 COMMUNICATION OF ANY KIND!

I'm only giving 2 stars cause I eventually got the apartment I wanted.
This was such an unnecessarily long process and all because rightmove referencing can't seem to communicate effectively.
I viewed my property on the 24/10/2025, paid the deposit 25/10 and then finished mine and my partners referencing on the 30/10. Right moves open banking says we can get a response in around 2-3 days. We were planning on moving on the 17/10. We didn't get referencing done till the 22/10 which meant we couldn't get the keys till the 26/10. All because Right move refused to call the right people or give us any information to help move the referencing along.
We were under the impression that rightmoves version of referencing is easier and quicker and that they would handle all correspondences well, but they did not and they left us in the dark most of the time with no real solution or help. We called them almost every other day for a month trying to get them to just send an email to our guarantor, they did not do so and would not tell us if they did stating GDPR.
We would ask them to call our guarantors HR to confirm income at around a certain time so they would be in the office to answer and they would again stating GDPR and that they can't tell us if they will or have called during those times.
We played this back and forth dance with them and we were increasingly getting impatient as we did not want to lose the place we wanted. We eventually had to get a second guarantor and had to ask our letting agent to process it from their end as Rightmove had refused to give us the information needed to get this referencing passed.
They do not communicate, if we did not call we would not have known about them not sending emails, or calling, or actually doing their job! I am surprised places still use them and I will hopefully be able to avoid them in the future.
