Rightmove?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HomeViews was the original home of these reviews before they were brought into Rightmove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reviews collected through HomeViews have been verified and quality-checked<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These reviews are now shown within Rightmove listings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renters can explore both property information and real experiences in the same place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why am I seeing HomeViews?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may come across the HomeViews name across advertising, signage or marketing materials, as the provider \u2018powering\u2019 the reviews you see displayed on Rightmove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I still trust HomeViews reviews?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the principles behind reviews remain

decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does this mean?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For renters, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can see real resident feedback alongside property listings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s easier to understand the day-to-day living experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can
