Rightmove is rolling out updates to its suite of tools for letting agents, including enhancements to its Tenancy Manager service and a redesign of the Rightmove Plus dashboard.
The changes aim to support agents in managing increased administrative and compliance requirements ahead of the Renters’ Rights Act
Updates to Tenancy Manager include:
+ Tenancy agreements compliant with the Renters’ Rights Act
+ A process to notify existing tenants of agreement changes
+ Revised offer letters reflecting updated tenancy terms
+ Rental data to support accurate rent reviews
+ Updated referencing criteria following the removal of upfront rent and changes to tenancy terms
The Rightmove Plus dashboard has also been revised to provide a more accessible view of branch performance. Agents can now quickly see metrics on available stock, new instructions, and lettings agreed over specific periods.
Rightmove adds that market share comparisons for lettings have been simplified, and the sales dashboard now provides a snapshot of key figures, including stock, price reductions, fall-throughs, and a visual sales funnel to track progress through the sales process.
Christian Balshen, Rightmove director of agent partnerships, said: “Letting agents have had to become experts at dealing with legislation changes and Tenancy Manager is here to help. Slightly unusually, the Renters’ Rights Act applies not only to new tenancies but also to all existing tenancies.
“This is a massive administrative task for letting agents with several compliance potholes, and I’m very proud that Tenancy Manager is helping our partners navigate these changes. Plus, the updates we’ve made to the Rightmove Plus platform are aimed at making it even easier for agents to act with confidence and clarity.”
