Rightmove has today, 7th November, published its trading and investor update, showing strong business results and continued growth.
The company reported it is making further investment in technology and artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to strengthen its platform and support sustainable growth over the medium to long term.
Rightmove said it is placing AI at the core of all its activities.
The business reported high engagement, with over 80% of consumer time spent on its platform according to Comscore, and over 70% according to SimilarWeb and data.ai.
Uptake of new products has been strong, with Optimiser Edge, the new top package for estate agents, seeing the fastest adoption yet, and the Ascend package for new homes developers also performing well.
Additionally, Rightmove recorded its highest agent retention rate in over a decade in the first half of 2025.
In strategic growth areas like commercial property, mortgages and rental services, Rightmove added more than 700 new partners and saw around 25% revenue growth since 2023.
These areas now make up 7% of first-half 2025 revenues, up from 5% in 2023.
The company said about 60% of its platform has moved to the cloud, aiming for 90% of traffic to be routed through the cloud by the end of 2025.
Eight new product teams have been added, supported by AI copilots, and Rightmove has reported a Great Place to Work score above 80%.
Rightmove said it will accelerate consumer innovation by transforming the Rightmove app, upgrading AI-powered search, and rolling out new tools.
The business is re-platforming its back-end operations and launching more AI interfaces to boost efficiency.
The company has reaffirmed its guidance for 2025, forecasting revenue growth of about 9%, membership growth of around 1%, average revenue per account (ARPA) growth of £95-£105, and an unchanged underlying operating margin of 70%.
For 2026, Rightmove expects revenue growth of 8-10% and underlying operating profit growth of 3-5%, reflecting increased investment.
Johan Svanstrom, CEO at Rightmove, said: “AI is now becoming absolutely central to how we run our business and plan for the future.
“We are already working on a wide range of exciting AI-enabled innovations for the benefit of our partners and consumers, and see vast potential utilising our leading reach and connected data.
“We are investing to accelerate our capabilities, which we are confident will create an even stronger platform and higher-growth business over time.”
Svanstrom added: “We aim to further advance our leading digital position in the UK property ecosystem.”
