    Property & Real Estate Defamation

    Protecting estate agents, landlords, developers, and property professionals from fake reviews, false accusations, and malicious online attacks.

    How We Help Property Professionals

    The property industry runs on trust and reputation. A single false review or malicious social media post can cost you thousands in lost commissions and damaged client relationships.

    Fake Reviews on Rightmove, Zoopla & Google

    Estate agents and lettings firms are particularly vulnerable to fake reviews from disgruntled tenants, competing agents, or former employees. A single malicious review claiming dishonesty, hidden fees, or poor property conditions can deter dozens of potential clients. We help identify anonymous reviewers, submit evidence-based takedown requests, and pursue legal action when necessary.

    False Property Listing Claims

    Competitors or unhappy parties sometimes post false claims about property defects, planning issues, or neighbourhood problems to sabotage sales. These posts — often on local Facebook groups, forums, or Nextdoor — can materially reduce property values and destroy deals. We act swiftly to secure removal and pursue damages.

    Landlord & Letting Agent Defamation

    Landlords face false accusations on platforms like OpenRent, SpareRoom, and social media — claims of unsafe conditions, discrimination, or harassment. Lettings agents deal with fabricated complaints to regulatory bodies. We defend your reputation across all platforms and protect your professional standing.

    Neighbourhood & Local Community Attacks

    Property professionals can become targets in neighbourhood disputes, with false allegations spread through community Facebook groups, Nextdoor, or local forums. These hyper-local attacks can be devastating in tight-knit communities where word-of-mouth drives business.

    Developer & Housebuilder Defamation

    Property developers face coordinated campaigns from protest groups, disgruntled buyers, or competing developers making false claims about build quality, planning violations, or financial stability. We handle platform takedowns, press corrections, and formal proceedings.

    Estate Agent Regulatory Complaints

    False complaints to The Property Ombudsman, NAEA Propertymark, or local Trading Standards can trigger investigations that damage your reputation regardless of outcome. We help you respond effectively and pursue the complainant for defamation where the allegations are demonstrably false.
