THE SHORT ANSWER

Private landlords cannot usually upload a property directly to Rightmove themselves. However, you can use an online letting service such as letlaunch to advertise your rental property on Rightmove while remaining in control of enquiries, viewings and tenant selection.

01

Can private landlords advertise directly on Rightmove?

Rightmove is the main place where tenants search to find a rental property, taking up over 85% of enquiries. The majority of landlords and letting agents only rely on Rightmove.

For landlords, this matters because more exposure can mean more enquiries, more viewing requests, and the best chance of reducing void periods.

If your property is empty, or your current tenant has given notice, getting your property in front of active tenants quickly will make a real difference.

Private landlords generally cannot upload directly to Rightmove themselves. Landlords usually need to advertise through a letting agent or an online letting service such as letlaunch.

02

Why can't most landlords upload directly to Rightmove?

Rightmove is a property advertising portal used by letting agents. It is not set up for individual private landlords to create direct listings themselves.

This does not mean you need to use a traditional high street letting agent. It simply means you need to advertise through a business that has the ability to list rental properties on Rightmove.

Within 10 minutes With letlaunch, your property can be live on Rightmove within 10 minutes of upload.
03

How can landlords get a property onto Rightmove?

There are usually three main options:

01

Traditional letting agent

A high street letting agent can advertise your property, deal with enquiries, arrange viewings and help set up the tenancy.

More hands-off, but typically the most expensive option.
02

Online letting service

An online letting service can help advertise your rental property on major portals while allowing you to stay more involved.

Useful for landlords who want exposure while self-managing.
04

What do I need before advertising my rental property?

Before creating your advert, it helps to have the key information ready. This can make the listing process faster and help tenants understand whether the property is right for them.
