What is HomeViews?

HomeViews launched in 2018 as a platform for collecting and displaying resident reviews of property developments, helping people understand what it’s really like to live somewhere.

Today, HomeViews is part of Rightmove, and these reviews are now displayed directly within Rightmove property listings. You’ll currently see them across developments that are purpose built for renters.

How is HomeViews connected to Rightmove?

HomeViews was the original home of these reviews before they were brought into Rightmove.

• Reviews collected through HomeViews have been verified and quality-checked
• These reviews are now shown within Rightmove listings
• Renters can explore both property information and real experiences in the same place

Why am I seeing HomeViews?

You may come across the HomeViews name across advertising, signage or marketing materials, as the provider ‘powering’ the reviews you see displayed on Rightmove.

Can I still trust HomeViews reviews?

Yes, the principles behind reviews remain – they are: 

• Written by real residents
• Verified by our review experts using trusted methods
• Checked to ensure they follow clear guidelines

This helps create a balanced, credible view of each development, so you can make more confident decisions.

What does this mean?

For renters, this means:

• You can see real resident feedback alongside property listings
• It’s easier to understand the day-to-day living experience
• You can compare developments with greater confidence

Everything is now in one place, without needing to visit multiple websites.

For developers and operators, reviews:

• Show real resident experiences in the place where renters are viewing broader property details
• Help build trust with prospective renters
• Provide insight into what’s working well and where to improve

They also create an opportunity to respond to feedback and demonstrate commitment to residents.
