Is OpenRent’s Withdrawal from Rightmove Affecting Your Property’s Visibility? Here’s Why Beecroft Estates Could Be the Solution You Need
If you're a landlord who has been relying on OpenRent to find tenants, you might have noticed a recent change: OpenRent has quietly stopped listing new properties on Rightmove, one of the UK’s largest property portals. This decision, while strategic for OpenRent, could have an impact on the visibility of your property and the speed at which you find new tenants.
What Happened?
On July 19th, OpenRent made the decision to no longer advertise new properties on Rightmove. According to a statement from Daz at OpenRent, this move was based on their analysis showing that Rightmove generated a relatively small percentage of their tenant enquiries, with many tenants already finding properties through Zoopla, Primelocation, or directly via OpenRent. They also mentioned that maintaining the partnership with Rightmove would likely mean passing on increased advertising costs to landlords, something they chose to avoid.
While OpenRent assures landlords that this decision won’t impact tenant enquiries significantly, the reality is that for many landlords, Rightmove has been a crucial platform for attracting high-quality leads. If you’re concerned about the potential decrease in exposure or if you're just looking for a more hands-on, comprehensive service, Beecroft Estates is here to help.
