Rightmove Confessions

83 replies

RosiePosie80 · 12/08/2022 11:06

Anyone else a Rightmove addict? I spend time on there like other people do on Twitter or Insta, just scrolling and pondering "I wonder where I could afford if I moved to Edinburgh" or "if I won the lottery, I'd buy DD a flat in London- but which one?"

DH thinks it's crazy and keeps asking if I'm planning that we should move, but I'm really not!

I love Rightmove, it's Tinder for married people lol

mjf981 · 17/08/2022 12:36

I look at the Australian version (realestate.com.au). Sadly, can only afford a small flat here in Sydney. However this is my current lottery win house.

It's fun. I like maximalist houses.

Over a million for a two bed house?!!!

That's Port Isaac for you. And you'll spend your days shooing away endless middle-aged women who stop to have their photo taken outside while their husbands stand nearby looking bored.

I am a self confessed addict, it’s my relaxation

The setting is superb, but it's not my taste on the inside. I hope you get it, though. My first Lottery house stayed on the market for a whole year & fate didn't give me the win I needed. Luckily I screenshot the pix of it & when I stumble across them now, I still love that house.

Ah, but if you have a massive win you can always approach the current owners with a ridiculously high offer they can't refuse!

I also mentally knock down walls and reconfigure layout.
I'm currently "working" on a dated three bedroom apartment trying to decide which of the three bathrooms should be altered into a utility room room.

This one is today's pick.
It is euromillions tonight. :)

Amused to see that in possibly the most beautiful house I've seen in a long time (good call!) they leave the loo roll on top of the cistern.

Furries · 18/08/2022 01:43

I blooming love a RM rabbit hole search. I sometimes see do a “I’ve one the Euro Millions JP” search and look at crazy-priced homes.

And sometimes I do my “escape from it all” search. Totally impractical for my needs, plus I love my house, so not looking to move. But this little beauty is just perfect to me, in my daydreams

PartnerInCrime · 18/08/2022 01:56

I’m in the US, and I do fantasy house shopping on sites here. I’ve also checked out some gorgeous UK homes on RM. It’s my escape!

CanadianJohn · 18/08/2022 03:10

I sometimes look at local houses on the Canadian version, but I get depressed. I always end up making comparisons to the hovel I live in.

The Bennets' house from the Colin Firth/90s Pride and Prejudice TV series is also on there currently Smile

Just looking at this one - so beautiful!1 But just imagine all the dusting though 😂Do tell though, what is a Loggia room & what about the summer kitchen. One for each season of the year is it??

I dont live in the UK so is this a thing with older (much older) homes like this one. Flowers

BruceAndNosh · 18/08/2022 08:03

That was on the market a few years ago.
You might find it hard to believe but I think they've "decluttered" it, as I'm sure it used to have a lots more religious statues and crucifixes!

ShesNotTheMessiah · 18/08/2022 08:27

My current obsession...

NeedAHoliday2021 · 18/08/2022 09:36

Dh lives in fear I’ll suddenly announce I’ve found the perfect home and we’re moving due to my rightmove obsession.

NeedAHoliday2021 · 18/08/2022 09:37

I’ve no intention of moving but like seeing decor ideas etc. as inspiration of really homes not Instagram.

NeedAHoliday2021 · 18/08/2022 09:41

@Furries that’s beautiful but I can hear my dad now “that’s a huge flood risk!” Absolutely stunning though.

FallopianTubeTrain · 18/08/2022 15:28

If I had endless pots of cash I'd have somewhere by the coast as my main residence then this one for when I'm visiting London...

Toweringpin3 · 26/03/2023 18:06

Oh my, I could off wrote this myself. Everyday I go on Rightmove wishing and wanting. Want to move to London so bad but just afford to buy there but always looking at properties and thinking about how I could move there.

Crikeyalmighty · 26/03/2023 18:19

Ha- I'm glad others do this - my H thinks I am nuts!

storminamooncup · 23/07/2023 11:16

My DM and I refer to rightmove as 'porn for women'

GasPanic · 23/07/2023 12:08

I keep an eye on it for the local market.

It's interesting to see the back gardens of some houses.
