Very poor quality of service

Have sent numerous rental applications with on the market. Then a few days later you receive a follow up email to call a number. The agent then every time doesn't know what your on about as they haven't received your application. Absolutely useless and a waist of time this company. Every single application I have made and there has been many has never reached the area agent. I'll never use this again.

Says they offer a free instant…

Says they offer a free instant valuation but actually don’t, make you sign up to be contacted by an estate agent with no valuation. Clearly just a way to be paid for leads.

The advert is missleading

The advert stated to get a valuation on line to give your details. The next day I started getting calls from all the estate agents in Sheffield, they had passed my information on instead of giving a valuation on line as stated. I could have phoned the agents myself but I didn't want that hassle, I will never use this company for any reason .

Hi Charles, thanks for the feedback. We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with the results of your online valuation. The price given is an estimate based on the information provided. We'd always recommend those seeking a valuation to speak to an expert local agent to get a more precise valuation. They will be able to take into account things like your local market and any changes that have been made to the property like extensions or renovations. Thanks again for the feedback and all the best.

⚠️ CONSUMER & PRIVACY WARNING – OnTheMarket refuses to remove unauthorised property images ⚠️


I am warning anyone concerned about privacy, image rights, and lawful advertising — OnTheMarket refuses to remove photographs of your home even after you withdraw consent in writing, if you were not the person who created the listing.
In my case, photographs of the inside of my private home — showing my possessions — were uploaded by an estate agent without my permission. I notified OnTheMarket in writing, clearly stating that I did not consent to the continued use of my images and that the content breached my rights under the UK GDPR (UK Data Protection Act 2018) and potentially copyright law.
Their response? They refused to act, claiming they are “just an advertising website” and cannot remove content unless instructed by the estate agent — even when notified that the agent’s use is unauthorised and potentially unlawful.
This approach not only ignores an individual’s rights over their own images, it also risks breaching the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (in force from April 2025), which require full and accurate material information in property advertising and prohibit misleading or unlawful practices.
The implication is clear:
✅ Your home could be photographed and listed without your permission.
✅ If you demand removal, OnTheMarket will ignore you unless the agent agrees.
✅ Even if that content breaches data protection law, they will leave it online.
This is not responsible practice from one of the UK’s largest property platforms. If you value your privacy, ownership of your images, and truthful advertising, be extremely cautious. Once your images are online with OnTheMarket, you may have no control over their use.

Dear John,
We understand your concerns regarding the photographs of the property in question. However, we must clarify that as you are not the vendor of this property you do not have a contractual right to request removal of the listing. The contractual arrangement for marketing this property is between the estate agency and the property’s vendor.
We have been in contact with the appointed estate agency, who have confirmed they have a valid agreement with the property owner to market it. As a property advertising platform, OnTheMarket is not in a position to arbitrate disputes between third parties. We suggest speaking to the relevant estate agency. In situations where such disagreements arise, the appropriate course of action is to raise a formal complaint with the relevant legal bodies, in this case the CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) and the TPO (The Property Ombudsman), who can review the matter independently. We will, of course, fully comply with any recommendations or directions issued by that body.
– OnTheMarket Team

Avoid Milegategroup Rental at all cost,unfit to let properties/

This company is a complete joke. I collected the keys on 28th July and still can’t move in. The house is in horrific condition – rubbish everywhere, flies on the bed, landlord’s belongings dumped all over. It’s false advertising – they claimed “furnished or unfurnished” but refused to clear the furniture and all when I said I wanted it unfurnished.
I’m now homeless with my child, moving from one friend’s house to another while they do nothing. Disgusting .
Milegategroup Rental is completely unprofessional. The flat I was given is uninhabitable – dirty, full of junk, and unsafe. I asked for a second key for the main entrance (a security key that can’t be cut), and they simply said “nothing we can do.”
It’s been over a week of complaints and they’ve ignored everything. I’ve provided photos and still no action.
OnTheMarket should be ashamed to allow companies like this to advertise.
They don't pick calls,they will ask you to email ,I did yet there response is bad.
Onthemarket you need to do something about this.

Don't bother. Trying to get a correct valuation via their website is a joke and hugely undervalues properties. Doesn't even ask or give you the ability to enter property details correctly 🙄

SCAM

SCAM! On the market is advertising a number of properties from a company that has been dissolved. When you ring the agents advertised phone number, your call goes through to on the market. They then forward the call to the ‘so called agent’ and the call is then disconnected after a few rings.

I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with an agency listing a property on OnTheMarket in Dudley. Recently, my family and I viewed a rental house. When we arrived, we noticed another woman was already there with the agent. From the way they interacted, it was obvious they were more than just strangers — they seemed like close friends.

To our surprise, during the viewing, that same woman confidently told us, “This house will be mine,” right in front of us. What shocked us even more was the agent just stood there smiling, not saying a single word — like he already knew.

A couple of weeks later, we got the usual call: “Sorry, the landlord chose someone else.” But honestly, do you really believe that? Because guess what? Not long after, we saw the house again — and it was that same woman living there. The one who basically told us off, as if she had already sealed the deal with the agent right from the start.

It honestly feels like a complete setup — like the applications are just a game and decisions are already made behind the scenes. Very unprofessional, and it feels unfair how genuine applicants like us are just wasting our time.

Spam

Usually I use Zoopla to browse for property in my area as I'm in the market to purchase my first house. I tried onthemarket after seeing their advertising, I have since been bombarded by about 10 emails since and have tried on multiple occasions to unsubscribe with no success. Avoid. Will have to add to a block list.
