Do I need to bother checking Zoopla and OnTheMarket?

[january2021]

DH and I are planning to move house. I really like Rightmove and do all of my property searching on there, but could I be missing out on other properties by not looking at OnTheMarket and Zoopla? They’re nowhere near as user friendly IMO, but on the other hand, I don’t want to lose out on my perfect property!

Rightmove is very expensive for agents so smaller agents will use Zoopla or OnTheMarket so you will need to check them both not to miss out.

I thought all agents use rightmove - if they use zoopla or compare the market sometimes their properties might appear on there a couple of days before rightmove but im pretty sure all agents use rightmove these days.

Anyone wishing to sell would be daft to not have their agent list on Rightmove.

I used zoopla today for the first time and found heaps of properties that were not on right move so I’d advise giving it a go!

Our lovely house we were buying fell through today sadly so back to square one
