How to Advertise Commercial Property on Rightmove: Complete Guide for Property Owners

Introduction

Rightmove is the UK's largest property portal, attracting millions of potential buyers and tenants every month. If you're looking to advertise commercial property on Rightmove, understanding the process and best practices can significantly improve your chances of finding the right buyer or tenant quickly.

Whether you own a warehouse for sale in Nottingham, a retail unit to let in Grantham, or office space for sale in Peterborough, getting your property listed on Rightmove is one of the most effective ways to maximise exposure. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about advertising commercial property on Rightmove.

Why Advertise Commercial Property on Rightmove?

Rightmove dominates the UK property market with over 130 million visits per month. While many people associate Rightmove with residential property, the platform also has a dedicated commercial property section that attracts serious buyers and tenants.

Advertising on Rightmove gives your commercial property:

  • Maximum visibility - Your listing appears in front of thousands of potential buyers and tenants actively searching for commercial space
  • Credibility - Being listed on Rightmove adds legitimacy to your property marketing
  • Advanced search filters - Users can search by location, property type, size, and price, ensuring your listing reaches the right audience

How to List Commercial Property on Rightmove

Unlike residential property, you cannot list commercial property directly on Rightmove as an individual owner. Rightmove requires all commercial listings to be uploaded by registered commercial estate agents or commercial property marketing companies.

This is where [Commercial List](https://commerciallist.co.uk) can help. As a registered commercial estate agent, we can advertise your commercial property on Rightmove through our online agency packages which starts from just £150 plus VAT.

The Process

1. Choose a marketing package - Select from our Bronze, Silver, or Gold packages depending on your needs and budget

2. Provide property details - Fill out our simple online form with your property information, or we can conduct a full inspection for our Full Agency service

3. Professional brochure creation - We create a high-quality marketing brochure with professional photos and compelling descriptions

4. Multi-platform listing - Your property is advertised on Rightmove, Zoopla, Gumtree, our website, and social media channels

5. Enquiry management - We handle all enquiries and pass qualified leads to you, or we can manage the entire process including viewings and negotiations via our full agency service

What Information Do You Need to Advertise?

To create an effective Rightmove listing for your commercial property, you'll need to provide:

  • Property address and location details
  • Property type (warehouse, office, retail, industrial, etc.)
  • Size in square feet or square metres
  • Price (sale price or rental amount)
  • Lease terms (for lettings)
  • Key features and facilities
  • EPC rating
  • Business rates information
  • High-quality photographs
  • Floor plans (optional but recommended)

The more detailed and accurate your information, the better your listing will perform on Rightmove.

Tips for Creating an Effective Rightmove Listing

Write a Compelling Description

Your property description should highlight the key benefits and features that will appeal to potential buyers or tenants. Include:

  • Location advantages and transport links
  • Size and layout details
  • Recent improvements or refurbishments
  • Parking availability
  • Nearby amenities
  • Flexibility of use

Use High-Quality Photos

Photography is critical for commercial property marketing. Professional photos that showcase your property in the best light will generate significantly more enquiries. Include:

  • Exterior shots showing the building and surroundings
  • Interior photos of the main spaces
  • Close-ups of key features
  • Photos taken in good lighting conditions

Price Competitively

Research similar commercial properties in your area to ensure your pricing is competitive. Overpricing can result in your property sitting on the market for months, while realistic pricing generates more interest and faster results.

Cost of Advertising on Rightmove

As mentioned, individual property owners cannot advertise directly on Rightmove. You need to work with a commercial property agent who has a Rightmove account.

At Commercial List, our Silver Package (£450 plus VAT) includes Rightmove advertising along with listings on Zoopla, Gumtree, and our own website. This represents excellent value compared to traditional commercial estate agents who may charge thousands of pounds in upfront fees and further charges on completion.

Our [marketing packages](https://commerciallist.co.uk/market-your-commercial-property) are designed to be flexible and cost-effective, allowing you to choose the level of service that suits your needs.

How Long Does It Take to Get Listed?

Once you've provided all the necessary information and approved your marketing brochure, we can typically have your commercial property live on Rightmove the same working day. The listing will remain active for the duration of your chosen package (3 or 6 months depending on the package selected).

Alternatives to Rightmove

While Rightmove is the largest platform, it's important to advertise your commercial property across multiple channels to maximise exposure. At Commercial List, we also list your property on:

  • Zoopla - The UK's second-largest property portal
  • Gumtree - Popular classified ads site with a large commercial property section
  • Our own website - Attracting buyers and tenants searching specifically for commercial property
  • Social media - LinkedIn, Facebook, and other platforms to reach a wider audience

This multi-channel approach ensures your property gets maximum visibility across the UK commercial property market.

Conclusion

Advertising commercial property on Rightmove is one of the most effective ways to find buyers and tenants quickly. While you cannot list directly as an individual, working with a registered commercial estate agent like Commercial List gives you access to Rightmove's massive audience at an affordable price.

Our packages start from just £150 plus VAT, and we handle everything from creating professional marketing materials to managing enquiries and viewings.
