    Thank you everyone, I have emailed rightmove on twitter and they are saying that estate agents have something called rightmove plus and it takes from 10 minutes to 24 hours to upload photos, this was now 1 week and 3 days ago! I'm quite fuming to be honest. Estate agents told us rightmove have a problem with their system and that's why it's not gone on. But they said they aren't aware of any problems! I am annoyed, I am going to take a new photo myself and send it to them via email. They will probably not reply!! What to do now!

    phone or visit their office and give them 48 hours to get your photo on RM.

    Emailing will get you nowhere.

    Are you selling at the EAs valuation?

    Hi Jadex91,

    It also depends on what software system the EA uses to upload to Rightmove. Mine does it overnight.

    Ask to speak with the business owner or the Branch Manager. When any of our clients are not happy, we sit up and listen. In the current market vendors are king.

    What to do? Stop emailing, stop phoning, and twiddling about on twitter. You need to be in their office as a matter of great urgency having a very robust conversation with them. In other words, you need to put the fear of god into them.

    Excellent advice.

    Won't you ultimately be paying your Estate Agent? Aren't they working for you?

    Tell them to pull their finger out or you're taking your custom to their rival across the street!
