#1 - ABSOLUTELY. Having recently moved in London, my first approach was to search sites like RightMove, etc. and create a little spreadsheet of 15 properties we'd shortlisted. After calling each estate agent, not a single property was actually available. Incredibly frustrating.

edit: Also regarding charges, parking data (whether it's included, or if not how much is an on-street permit from the council, etc.) would be great!

yup this needs to be taken seriously.

It's great that reporting a listing as expired hides it from your map - most sites offer "add to favourite" but what I usually want is to remove things I'm not interested in and see what's left. Maybe a way to do that without going as far as reporting the listing would be good?

yup additionally our robots check all the listings very often, even though they might still miss out some of them.
