Rightmove property search 4+

Upgrades Needed

Just a couple of points….Mr Rightmove, as I am currently looking for a new home. However while you are, by far the best property app, you do require some servicing and the need for some finer adjustments. Please can you add a separate view all properties under the branch after you have selected a property, this would really help locality searching. You also need to add a separate EW1 tab, so you can either add this as a m search feature or not. I presume this would help all Estate Agents out and would save so much time and effort, to help either mortgage homeowners or investors narrow down there search (perfect for city centre searching!). And finally can you have a word and sort your GDPR issue. If I ask for no marketing, I don’t expect the estate agent after requesting a viewing to be property firing my email everyday. It clearly states do you want marketing from the agent yes or no, ticking no and your still bombarded.. thanks in advance
Mrs Covid.

Annoying Change

I recently had to re-install the app and how the list of properties are displayed in the map view has changed. They are now displayed along the bottom instead of down the right side, which is not user friendly at all. It encroaches too much on the map and it is just unnatural to scroll through a list horizontally. In the previous version I am sure I was able to see more of the map and more properties down the side (I think the property thumbs have been increased in size too, making this even worse). You should at least make the list orientation an option. Not impressed at all.

Some more detail: I am using the latest iPad Pro with keyboard so my screen orientation is horizontal. Having the list in map view down the right side (how it used to be) is much more natural as I can use my thumb to scroll the list while my hand naturally rests on the side of screen and my desk. This was much easier and less strenuous than having to now arduously hold my hand above the keyboard trying to swipe along the bottom of my screen horizontally. It is causing incredible strain in my wrist after a while. Also, because of screen orientation, having the list down the side produces a more square map which is much more useful when searching in a Radius around an area. Now you get this long thin strip of a map which is not the shape a map should be.

Flag for inaccuracies

I spend so much time on this app I wish I could get paid to do it but there’s something that really annoys me and that’s when agencies select the wrong Property type for their listings. If I’m looking for a detached, I’m clearly not interested in apartments or semi/terraced and yet, there they are, clear as a picture (well, it actually is a picture!) the house I’m looking at, is “stuck” to another.
It would be good if there was a button to flag inaccuracies. While I appreciate that it would take time to review them, an agency that always publishes tweaked details just to get another click should be persecuted. I mean… notified (and maybe also persecuted ;) ). By the by, I’m available for the role of Agency Monitoring Officer.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for sharing this with us.

We do encourage the estate agents that advertise on Rightmove, to ensure they select the correct property type. We do have a dedicated team that ensures the quality of our data on Rightmove.

If you feel there are properties on Rightmove incorrectly advertised, please do send them to us at talk-to-us@rightmove.co.uk.

If there's anything else I can help with, please do get in touch.

Many thanks,

Rightmove
