Rightmove Lists Most-Viewed UK Properties for First Half of 2026

Rightmove has released data on the most-viewed residential properties on its platform during the first six months of 2026. The listings span a wide price range and include homes with unique features and historical significance.

The most-viewed property was a four-bedroom detached home in Bratoft, Lincolnshire, listed at £550,000. Marketed by William H. Brown in Skegness, the property includes a cinema room and two acres of land, and is located within reach of Skegness and Boston.

A £20 million Gothic mansion in Newcastle’s Jesmond Dene Conservation Area ranked second. Jesmond Towers, a Grade II* listed property built in the early 1800s, sits on nearly six acres and includes two detached lodges and a former gymnasium. The estate, marketed by Sanderson Young, previously operated as a Catholic school until 2008.

The third most-viewed property was a seven-bedroom Victorian villa on Alexandra Road South in Manchester, listed at £1,444,000. Built in 1885, the property spans nearly 5,000 square feet across four floors and features a cinema room and a self-contained coach house. Jamie Burke, Powered by eXp, is handling the sale.

Other notable listings include a property in Corfu, featured in BBC One’s ‘Amanda and Alan’s Greek Job’, listed at €530,000 through Corfu Home Finders. Law Castle in West Kilbride, North Ayrshire, built in 1467, is marketed at £900,000 by Savills Glasgow and features a spiral stone staircase and views over the Firth of Clyde. In the Lake District, Storrs Holme, a new-build with 115 feet of private lake frontage and two boathouses, is listed at £8.5 million by Fine & Country.

The lowest-priced property on the list is a circular thatched cottage in Sidmouth, designed in the 1960s for novelist R.F. Delderfield, with a guide price of £250,000. The cliff-top property is being sold by online auction and offers views along the Jurassic Coast.

Rightmove’s analysis indicates that properties with distinctive features, historical value, or media exposure attract higher engagement on listing platforms, regardless of price bracket. The data comes as UK property transactions have shown signs of stabilisation, while house price growth has slowed to 1.8% in July.
