Creating a real estate website linked to rightmove.co.uk?

I am looking at creating a Wordpress site for a lettings business using a pre existing theme. The actual site should not be an issue however I am unsure on how to link the site into Rightmove automatically posting listings from the WP site to Rightmove. Any ideas or anyone interesting in collaborating?

Hey Liam,

I am not sure if Rightmove has an API, so I don't think automatically posting listings is possible (although I might be wrong).

You can post listings manually however many times a day you want. If you are using a plugin like WP Property then there is an addon plugin for BLM exporting which may help you for what you need.

Let me know if any of this is any help to you

Good luck :D

Hi Liam,

I did see that it was a while since it was last updated. However, you can manually take the files and import them to Rightmove, but this plugin makes it much easier. I think it should still work fine, but may not still be supported if you require assistance from the author.

It might be worth a punt, but maybe get some advice from some others or have another look around for other alternatives just in case first.

Hi John,

Thanks for the response, I did come across this plugin @ https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-property-blm-export-add-on/ . I was concerned by the fact it hadn't been updated in so long. Is it still viable?

Thanks, Liam
