Rightmove is the UK’s biggest property website and is also a great place to look at what is available to buy and rent in the UK. Tim Bannister, Rightmove’s Director of Property Data, recently spoke about the new trends which have unfolded this year and says that home-movers have reprioritised what is important to them. He also stated that this has led to people not desiring penthouses as much as they once did, ‘which reflects a national trend of people wanting more space – both when they’re browsing dream homes as well as when they’re searching Rightmove for something a little more affordable.’ Rightmove recently carried out research to find out their top five most viewed properties and you can find the list below:
