Rightmove has introduced a new feature that allows home-hunters to collaborate with the people they are moving in with throughout their search.

Users can now share property lists with friends and family, working together on shortlists of agents’ properties and making the home-searching process more social and interactive.

The property portal says it has introduced the new feature as it was one of the most requested by its users.

Lists allow home-movers to shortlist properties that meet their needs and share them with others, enabling collaboration and discussion before booking a viewing.

Available to buyers and renters within My Rightmove, Shared Lists support collaboration between home-movers throughout the moving process.

Tarah Lourens, Rightmove’s chief technology and operations officer said: “It’s really exciting to bring Rightmove users this much-requested feature so people can seamlessly see shared property lists in one place.

“With the majority of home-movers looking to live with at least one other person, our new tool is designed to make the process of searching for a home more collaborative and interactive, and make sure home-movers are on the same page before they get in touch with agents.”
