I respect the effort you've obviously put into developing this site, but in all honesty I can't see why I, as a user, would want to use your site in its current state over Rightmove or Zoopla.

For me, the most important thing is knowing I have access to a large pool of properties and can filter them appropriately. On the latter, it's nice that I can filter by crime rate (if I don't know the bad spots in an area), but it's missing a few key filters such as furnished/unfurnished, term of let, garden, etc. The lack of properties is, in my opinion, a much bigger issue. When I do a search on your site and see 8 properties to let in BN1, but hundreds on Zoopla and RM, I'm probably not going to come back to your site (if you're relying on direct feeds it'll take a lot of time and effort to build up your database and keep it clean).

While there are a fair few bugs and UX issues I noticed, overall the site looks quite nice. You have a couple of neat features not present on the major sites such as combined map+list view, but I'm struggling to see the real USP at the moment.

Rather than a big bang launch, I think you'd do much better to grow and iterate slowly and consistently. Reach out to and work directly with property agents - I'm guessing your main revenue stream will be lead generation, so at the end of the day the agents are your true customer.
