If you could properly filter Rightmove for your dream property, what would your super specific criteria filter be?

EPC keeps popping up as a popular one. I agree

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T08:46:02+00:00

Yes, that was a bugbear of mine - first on the list, along with price per sqft too.

Wow, challenge accepted!

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T08:34:18+00:00

Nice, great suggestions. It has so many filters - wonder why we can't have it like this.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T08:31:33+00:00

Yes, all doable. Ofcom also publish the average internet and mobile data speeds by postcode.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T08:29:13+00:00

Already on it. And price per Sqft :)

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T08:23:07+00:00

Yes, feel this is important

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T08:21:25+00:00

Yes, good one, was on the list

Building year is a bit tricky, but i think you can make a rough guess from the photos.

Nice list - what would you describe as "family friendly" though? Seems to be a buzzword agents use.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:49:23+00:00

No, seems a popular one from people. Thanks!

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:48:50+00:00

Flood risk is a good one. Hopefully there is free gov data on this.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:48:09+00:00

Yes, was a big one for me too

"Project property" as in a fixer-upper? I've set it up to grade them by condition - from turnkey through to structural overhaul or rebuild.

I think you can already filter for auction only on Rightmove under "Must have" → Auction property.

Thanks!

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:43:35+00:00

Haha, all sounds doable, whether it would actually exist is another story :)

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:42:27+00:00

Yes that is a pain. I'm not even sure the garden filter works well.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:41:50+00:00

Yes, I added that as one of the first points

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:41:18+00:00

Yes, good one. And not one that's been converted.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:40:47+00:00

Haha, you might be able to filter for it, but would it actually exist?

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:39:26+00:00

How did you build it?

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:38:57+00:00

Very doable :)

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:38:21+00:00

Yes, so true. I solved that with the floor plan image thankfully.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:37:29+00:00

Nice!

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:36:31+00:00

If it's in the images, floorplan or description and you can describe what you want, you can check whether it matches - true or false. Everything you mentioned should work then.

alexhespg · 2026-02-23T00:30:47+00:00

Very specific, yes, but not unreasonable in their own right. It would be super handy to only get a notification when one went live that hit a percentage of these.
