Rightmove has reported 2025 revenue of £425.1 million and statutory operating profit of £287.9 million, producing a 68% operating margin. The figures appear in the property portal’s latest annual report.
The results have drawn fresh attention following a Financial Times opinion article about a collective competition claim brought on behalf of estate agents. The claim alleges that Rightmove abused a dominant market position and charged excessive subscription fees. Those allegations have not been determined by a court or tribunal, and Rightmove disputes them.
Rightmove’s annual report also gives an underlying operating-profit figure of £297.7 million and an underlying margin of 70%. These are company-reported measures, distinct from the statutory results.
The dispute is therefore best understood as an ongoing legal and commercial issue, rather than a finding that the portal has acted unlawfully. The Financial Times article includes estimates and commentary about Rightmove’s position in the property-search market; those should not be read as audited market-share data.
For agents, sellers and readers following the UK property market, the immediate verified facts are the company’s reported 2025 results and the existence of a contested claim. The eventual legal outcome, and any wider effect on portal pricing or industry practice, remain unresolved.
