Estate agents launch class action accusing Rightmove of excessive fees

Estate agents have launched a class action accusing Rightmove of charging excessive listing fees. The suit, filed on behalf of potentially hundreds of UK agents, alleges Rightmove exploits its dominant position to impose monopoly style pricing. Rightmove is the leading online property portal in the UK, and agents say they have little choice but to pay to reach buyers. The case could force fee cuts, prompt regulatory scrutiny, and reduce costs for agents and home sellers.
