Rightmove

Rightmove is a FTSE 100 company operating the United Kingdom's number one property portal. Founded in 2000 and floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2006, it has a market value of around £5 billion and has traded for more than two decades. The company's business spans residential and commercial property markets, as well as property technology and online classifieds.

Its principal product is the Rightmove.co.uk property portal, a unified online platform listing properties across the UK for home movers searching to buy or to rent. The platform carried free listings for agents at launch before a charging model was introduced in 2002; more than a million properties are available on it at any time, and home movers spend more than a billion minutes each month searching. Alongside consumer search tools, Rightmove provides data and insight services to property professionals across residential and commercial markets.

The company's technical work covers online marketplace platforms, web search and consumer tools, and property data services. Its stated vision is to give everyone the belief they can make their move, which underpins both its consumer tools and its data services. Rightmove originated from a collaboration between four corporate estate agencies - Countrywide, Connells, Halifax and Royal and Sun Alliance - formed to address fragmentation in the industry. Its operations are concentrated in the United Kingdom.
