Rightmove

Obviously the biggest internet serach engine for property. However is it just me or have they had issues lately?

What I mean is the pages sometimes can take an age to load up and also requesting the full brochures are often hit and miss.

Maybe just me :confused:

    Tonydee, I agree, despite having a fast billion zigabyte broadband connection, only this am I found certain pages took forever to load. Interestingly refreshing the page sometimes helps.

    8MB max and top notch ISP namely Freedom2surf.

    It's not happening all the time so I imagine it's when heavy traffic is present. Saying that I expect RM always to be busy really.

    I've had the same problems with Rightmove's website. It's really frustratingly slow after a while, especially when your trying to get a map or pictures

    Also I don't find the site helpful enough as you don't seem to be able to be able to search using key words eg annexe.

    I'll certainly try refreshing the page more often to see if it gets any better.
    Although considering they're the biggest property site they ought to be up to speed more user friendly.

    i would subscribe to their emails for new properties - that way you will get them in your email and will not need to search unnecessarily.

    I know that but you would only be clicking on the properties you're interested in and also using a direct link - as they say - every little helps (time in this case!)
