Yes! Agents love that tactic, and that's one thing we're combating against. If our property says it's live, it's available to Rent Now - that's a big win with our system.
- 18pfsmt 14y agoI live in the US and know nothing of the UK property market, but could you talk a bit about how you combat against this? Sorry if this is a trade secret, or otherwise 'non-discussable.'
- dazbradbury 14y agoIt's not a secret - we simply don't let agents list with us! On top of that, our properties are available to "Rent Now", this means tenants can rent the property through OpenRent. Whilst not all of our landlords use this feature, for any that do, we immediately know the property is let as we have the holding deposit. You can see more on our info pages for landlords [1] and tenants [2].

- 18pfsmt 14y agoVery nice, thanks. Brokers/ agents have been a source of opacity in numerous markets, and while they have a place, I really like your approach (and thoroughness). Good luck.
