Can a commercial landlord advertise directly on Rightmove?
Rightmove treats commercial property differently from ordinary residential letting advertisements. Its commercial membership information specifically invites commercial agents and landlords to contact its team about advertising arrangements. This means it would be misleading to say that no commercial landlord can approach Rightmove directly.
Membership terms and prices are not published as a single universal fee. For an individual property, compare the time, process and overall cost of dealing with a portal directly against an online advertising service.
Rightmove asks prospective commercial landlords or agents to contact its team to discuss available packages; that is not the same as an instant self-serve listing.
What are the practical alternatives?
A traditional commercial agent can market a unit, arrange viewings and negotiate terms, often as part of a wider agency instruction.
A commercial property advertising service can instead give landlords portal exposure while allowing them to handle enquiries and viewings. Letlaunch Commercial provides this fixed-fee approach for landlords who prefer to manage more of the process themselves, saving a lot of money in agent fees.
A landlord can also promote a unit through their own website, local signage and professional networks. These channels may help, but they will not automatically place the property on Rightmove Commercial.
How does Letlaunch Commercial advertising work?
The standard Letlaunch Commercial package costs £149 as a one-off advertising fee and includes LoopNet advertising for three months. Rightmove Commercial can be added for £99, making the advertised combination £248 total. The landlord uploads property details and photographs, then receives enquiries and manages applicants directly. The landlord is also able to edit the listing at any time and purchase optional add-ons if required, such as creating Heads of Terms with Letlaunch or using our commercial tenant referencing services.
Why use Letlaunch rather than just buying a listing?
A portal brings interested businesses to your listing. Letlaunch helps organise the next steps through an online applicant portal and optional letting services, on a platform designed for intelligent AI integration and a more efficient, modern approach.
Commercial portal reach
Advertise on LoopNet for £149, with Rightmove Commercial available for £99 extra. Your property reaches occupiers looking for commercial premises.
Your letting, organised online
Use your Letlaunch portal to manage enquiries and applicants. Add commercial tenant referencing and the Heads of Terms service when you need support progressing an interested occupier.
The £149 and £248 packages cover advertising and the associated landlord portal. Heads of Terms creation and commercial tenant referencing are optional additional services; legal lease work remains separate.
What should I prepare before placing an advert?
Useful information includes the address, type of premises, floor area, asking rent, availability, permitted use, photographs, floorplans and any relevant service charge or business-rates information.
Commercial occupiers may also need to know proposed lease terms, VAT treatment, repair obligations, EPC information and whether any incentives are offered. Where facts are unknown, verify them rather than making an assumption.
Which route is best?
Traditional agents may suit landlords who want someone to handle every viewing and negotiation. For landlords who prefer to stay involved, Letlaunch offers a more affordable online model: commercial portal advertising, an applicant portal and optional tools for the next stage of the letting.
