I am seeking for properties that are not listed in zoopla and rightmove

I am seeking for properties that are not listed in zoopla and rightmove. Are there any? And where can I find them? I tend to believe that on zoopla and rightmove, end up the otherwise unsold properties or those seeking extraordinary prices.

    There are very few EA's who don't advertise their properties on one or more of those sites, but you can trawl the individual EA sites if you wish to.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Presumably you mean you are seeking properties for sale that are not listed on those websites?

    There are around 12,000 estate agents in the UK.

    I am sure nobody could give you a complete list of those that don't list with right move etc across the whole country.

    It would make sense for you to do your own research in the area of the country you are interested in buying in.

    Plenty of solicitors in Scotland don't advertise on websites that compete with their own Solicitors Property Centre websites.

    I was always under the impression that trolls lived in caves or under bridges. I suspect suitable dwellings do not get advertised except by word of mouth amongst the troll community.
