5. How do I know how much my property is worth?

Investigate the current price of property for sale in your neighbourhood and compare your house to theirs, check prices in local papers and Estate Agents windows and internet property web sites looking for comparisons. Ask two or three local Estate Agents to give you a free valuation most agents offer this service because they hope you will place your property with them.

6. Can I use a traditional Estate Agent as well as Move & Save?

Yes, and you'll certainly multiply your chances of selling yes, but we recommend that you check the small print in the Estate Agents contract as you may have to pay them their commission in full even if Move & Save find the buyer.

7. What If I'm already using an Estate Agent?

No problem: you'll increase your exposure to buyers and multiply your chances of selling and remember you don't pay any commission to us on completion of your sale.

8. Should I tell my Estate Agent?
Yes, It will avoid any misunderstanding over commission at a later date and it will serve to focus their minds on marketing your property more aggressively.

9. How can you offer so much yet charge so little?

You have to ask why traditional Estate Agents charge so much, it's certainly not just related to the amount of time and effort involved in selling your property otherwise they would offer a big discount if they sell it in the first week. Traditional Estate Agents fees are linked to their high overheads; i.e. Multi-offices, lots of staff, surveyors and valuers, company cars etc. Todays technology means that information about your property can be delivered quickly and economically to thousands of potential buyers, this technology combined with low centralised overheads means we can provide you with a genuine credible alternative to the traditional Estate Agent.

10. Do you do Valuations?

Yes we can do valuations if you're not sure about the asking price.
