I run a small letting agency in Manchester and am trying to gauge which is actually the most popular for people looking. They're all bloody expensive for me to use bar gumtree, and the top 4 each claim to be the best.
Please be honest and just pick the one you'd go to first, or add any more below

Rightmove if I'm just having a browse. If I'm actively looking I'll usually use the top 3 and gumtree
Rightmove would always be first though

Rightmove - I dont even bother with the rest and that goes for most others I know who have searched for houses online.

Ta so far. Haven't used Rightmove with my agency so far as they've been too expensive, but findaproperty/primelocation have just upped their price inline with Rightmove. Have used Rightmove for years, but wasn't sure if it wasn't just used mostly by agents.

Always use Rightmove and everyone I know does too.
Mortgage broker said they often use Zoopla but I found it to be very inaccurate with some prices way off

Rightmove.
Plus places like your move, century 21, and local solicitors website.

Rightmove, its nice and clear, quick and appears to be updated often. Some of them look like scam websites (you know when some sites just 'look dodgy' or shite?)

Any agent needs to use Rightmove, We also use Globrix, get a few leads off of that. But that's all!

Haven't needed it so far, especially when they charge almost £600 a month for the privilege! Globrix are pants, shame as they promised big things when they started not too long ago. Findaproperty/primelocation was costing me £200 per month but its going up to £280, and rightmove charge £275 for lettings only. I always use Rightmove personally but that's because i'm an agent. Wasn't sure if it was actually the preferred option to those looking but the poll's helped! Cheers guys

Rightmove is the autotrader of the house world!!!
I always use it & have never used any of the others listed.

Correct but i'm in the lower end of the scale at present so when I started up last year it simply wasn't feasible.

I see Google are releasing their property search over here where they overlay details of houses for sale from agents and private sellers on their maps - seems a great idea tbh. Hit Rightmove hard as their shares dropped 10% on the news
