We're solving this problem at OpenRent [1], for rentals at least. All of our properties, if stated as live, are available to rent now. We can do this because we talk directly to landlords.

We've been hearing this a lot from speaking to people. Right now, it's a bit difficult as we're just using Zoopla's API (http://developer.zoopla.com/) for the listings. To try and minimise the problem, by default we're showing property listings by Most Recently Published.

Yea I've had the same problem looking in North London. Just ended going to every estate agent we could find. Some of the are pretty terrible though
