Rightmove plc

About

In 2000, the UK property market was fragmented and inefficient. The top four corporate estate agencies - Countrywide, Connells, Halifax and Royal and Sun Alliance - recognized this gap and came together to form Rightmove.co.uk. They saw an opportunity to create a unified platform that would transform how people find homes in the UK. Initially offering free listings, they introduced a charging model in 2002, creating a sustainable business model that would support the platform's growth and development.

Over two decades, Rightmove evolved from that startup idea into the UK's number one property portal, eventually floating on the London Stock Exchange in 2006 and becoming a FTSE 100 company with a market value around £5 billion. Today, over a million properties are available on the platform at any time, and home movers spend more than a billion minutes each month searching for their next move. The company's vision - to give everyone the belief they can make their move - drives everything they do, from their consumer-facing tools to their data services for property professionals across residential and commercial markets.
