Please include a clickable link next time.

That URL hasn't been touched yet. I am not an editor in Regional/Europe/United Kingdom/Business and Economy/Property/Relocation so I can't say whether it's in the unreviewed queue (which is not very long) or not.

Anyways, I think you might have chosen the wrong category. The Regional/Europe/United Kingdom/Business and Economy/Property branch is for services throughout the United Kingdom. But on the site it reads "Home hunters property consultants specialise in 'relocation Leicestershire'". So I think it would have been better to submit to Regional/Europe/United Kingdom/England/Leicestershire/Business and Economy/Property. There is no queue at all in that category, so your site would probably be reviewed quite fast there.
 

I can see the logic, but they target the midlands, because they are based in Glenfield is irrelevant in my eyes, its just a suburb of Leicester.

I picked the original submission directory because its description most accurately describes their service - nationwide or not.

If I put them in regional, they just become another local business. Their target market is worldwide - professionals and business coming to the area, that have specific requirements such as schools, leisure facilities, house sizes etc.

This is true of all real estate sites. But their SERVICE is always ... just another local business.

There are so many real estate sites that a "global" category would be basically useless for users. And, for real estate in particular (since it's a spam-prone topic dominated by high-pressure personality types) treatment of the sites is written into the guidelines, and not subject to debate.

In general, sites in Regional are classified by physical location, not by coverage area or target market. Sites that are listed at a level higher than locality (county or state in the US) have more than one physical location (such as store or restaurant chains.)
