I’m new to OR and submitted a viewing request for a flat. The landlord responded asking me to send me my name + number (to a personal email address of theirs) to arrange a viewing. Is this standard? Seems odd to move the the conversation off OR right away
Its not that unusual. If landlords only use OR for advertising then it seems reasonable to move the discussion to their own systems at an early stage.
Got an email from OR saying they had removed the listing in question, due to it being a potentially fraudulent listing, so I guess the spidey senses were on to something this time around

I use OR for advertising only. Thereafter I speak to potential tenants directly either phone/Whatsapp and any essential documentation or responses including recording verbal agreements is in private email. That way there is a clear record. So I would say that this is not unusual.
