Letting with Move
Step 01
The Price
Marketing price, not asking price or a valuation figure, should be based on factual market evidence and not simply the price you would prefer. It’s important to remember that the purpose of a marketing price is strategically set to generate maximum interest. Price is there to entice.
Step 02
Marketing Material
You don’t get a second chance to make a great first impression. That’s why we advocate for the expertise of professional photographers to ensure the best photos. Quality is crucial.
Step 03
The Launch
At any one time, a pool of buyers will seek to buy a property just like yours. However, we know the importance of knowing our database. Sometimes your property might not immediately align with their criteria, but that does not mean the property could not be adapted to suit their needs.
Step 04
Monitor & Improve
After the first week, we will continue to keep you informed on the click-through rate (CTR) of your listing, making improvements or changes where necessary. A subtle modification, such as enhancing the kitchen shot, could catalyse increased ‘click-throughs’ and subsequent enquiries.
Step 05
The Viewing
Our objective is to show potential buyers around the property. This is to encourage full transparency so we can discuss their objections. Where possible, we bulk book viewings to amplify competition, creating an environment that benefits both sellers and prospective buyers.
Step 06
The Offers
When presented with one or more reasonable offers early in the marketing process, we are often cautious in trying to beat the market and holding out for more. Research shows that the best offers typically emerge in the initial stages of property marketing. We ensure every offer is meticulously qualified, identifying both the potential buyers’ chain and financial position.

We will require a copy of your ID, proof of ownership, a signed copy of our Landlord Terms of Business and the required safety certificates. The safety certificates include Gas safety certificate, Electrical installation condition report and a valid Energy performance certificate.
A property inventory contains photographic and written evaluation of the property in its current condition prior to the tenants moving in. Checks carried out during the inventory include working fire alarms, CO2 alarms, meter readings, note of present wear and tear in addition to cleanliness. This report is vital for when your tenant checks out.
All deposits are registered with the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS). The deposit (maximum of 5 weeks rent) is registered within 30 days of receipt. At the end of the tenancy Move will arrange for a checkout inspection to be carried out by an independent third party who will refer to the original inventory.
A dilapidations report will be issued to the tenant noting any costs for damages (if applicable) and instruction will be made to the DPS to release the remainder of the deposit.
Please note, we also offer ‘no deposit options’ subject to T&Cs.
