Recent News On 20 Oct 2026, an outage at Google Cloud’s London‑based europe‑west2 data centre caused a brief service interruption for Rightmove’s website and mobile application. The incident was attributed to a power event and highlighted the reliance of financial and public‑sector firms on cloud infrastructure. The outage prompted regulators to review oversight of key technology suppliers.
During the same period, Barclays PLC increased its voting‑rights stake in Rightmove to approximately six percent. The share price reacted with a modest decline on the day, reflecting concerns about the outage and broader sensitivity to cloud‑service reliability. No additional operational or financial details were disclosed.
