2. Our Services

Moove acts as a platform enabling you to market and facilitate your own property transaction or via an agent you have appointed. Moove does not take the role of an Estate agent and therefore all information entered including the asking price is the responsibility of you the Seller and Moove takes no responsibility for any errors.

In exchange for our fees our services offered will include a combination of the below.

Use of the Moove platform to manage your ongoing listing.

Regular updates and data on your property viewings

Price recommendations and were applicable recommendations on offers received.

Marketing of your property on site and where available other third-party sites and platforms.

Recommendations for additional services like conveyancing, mortgage and other related services which may not be fulfilled by Moove.

Where selected and available access to a For Sale Board that you install, which may incur an additional charge.

3. Exclusivity

As part of our agreement to list your property we will insist that any viewings, offers, and successful completions made on the platform are attributable to the Moove platform. Once instructed we will continue to market your property and list it on our platform until you (i) request that we cease or (ii) a period of 90 days inactivity after being placed on hold as detailed in section 12 of these terms.

4. Advertising your property on our platform and other sites

As a Seller, you take responsibility for providing accurate information about your property including but not limited to photographs, house information and descriptions.

In accepting these terms and conditions, you warrant that all such information provided to Moove is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

Moove will also where possible check the data provided to ensure that it is accurate and not misleading to potential buyers on the platform.

All photos, videos and other media uploaded to the platform must be.

Owned by you or you have been granted permission to use them.

Of the property or have a clear relevance to it

A fair and accurate portrayal of the property and listing

We will list your property (including the address, asking price, photographs, and floor plans) on our platform, partner websites, in magazines and newspapers, and anywhere else we feel will lead to a sale of your property. This may include advertising outside of the UK.

We will first and foremost list your property for sale on our platform for the durations set out in section 3. Where commercially viable we may also list your property on third party platforms deemed relevant by us and may not be controlled by us. We cannot therefore always guarantee continued presence on these third party platforms, however, we try always to maintain, expand and improve our portal networks in order to increase the likelihood of buyer interest.

If your listing is found to be misleading potential buyers about your property, we reserve the right to immediately remove your property from the platform and any other third-party platforms pending investigation and retain the listing fee and any other fees paid to date.

It is your responsibility to present your property in good but accurate condition and be truthful about any and all known issues relating to it. Any deliberate omission of details which are important to the transaction could result in the removal of your listing and Moove retaining all fees paid.

We regularly update our website and may change the content from time to time. Our website may not always be completely up to date, and we are not obligated to update it. We cannot guarantee it will be free of errors.

5. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

It is a legal requirement for all properties marketed for sale to have a valid and current EPC. You must have either (i) supplied us with your property EPC, or we have found it automatically, (ii) ordered your own EPC or (iii) instructed us to arrange an EPC for you before we can market your listing. If your listing does not have a valid EPC 30 days after your listing has been approved by us, we reserve the right to terminate your listing and retain any fees paid to date.

6. Viewings

You agree to take responsibility for creating availability for potential buyers to view the property in advance and where required, after an offer has been made.

You will ensure that the property is safe to be viewed and that prospective buyers are able to conduct a thorough assessment of the property so they can put in an offer they believe represents their view of the value of the property.

Moove accepts no liability or responsibility for the viewing, including any adverse events which happen during or due to the viewing taking place.

If you (i) fail to provide sufficient availability for viewings to take place and/or (ii) regularly agree to viewings and cancel or no show, then we reserve the right to remove the listing from the platform and any other third-party locations and retain all fees paid to date.

7. Offers

Offers made will be sent over and immediately available to you on the platform. It is your responsibility to reflect on the offer and respond in an appropriate time frame. If no response is received within 72 hours, an offer made by a Buyer could be deemed expired and no longer valid.

Once an offer has been accepted, the response is sent back to the Buyer where they are asked to commit to the offer, following which the property is no longer able to receive offers and we deem that to be the first stage in the contractual proceedings between the Seller and Buyer.

If the Seller or Buyer through any deliberate or accidental actions causes the following stages or conveyancing process to stall and fail, Moove accepts no liability or responsibility for any fees or time incurred by either party or their representatives.

8. For Sale Boards

If you opt to have a For Sale Board at your property, we will despatch a board to your property from our central warehouse and installation will be carried out as soon as possible by our board distribution partners.

The board is then your responsibility to keep visible and on the property in a good and clean condition. If a replacement is required then there will be a charge liable of £100 for a replacement board to be issued and installed.

This can be found on and is requested in MyMoove.

9. Fees

We want to keep our fees simple, offering different packages/levels at different price points and levels of work, regardless of the eventual sale price of the property.

Moove offer a fixed fee service which is made on instruction and contains the services detailed at the time of instruction.

No commission is applicable at the completion date.

10. The Moove Money Back Promise

As part of the Moove promise if your property has not generated interest in the form of viewing requests or offers in a period of 90 days from “live date” then a refund of your listing fee will be issued to you

Interest in the property is defined as a enquires, viewing requests or offers made against the listed property.

As part of this, we retain the right to ensure that fair prices are set on the platform and that listings are an accurate representation of the property being sold.

We will review your property during the listing period to endure the price being requested is within current market valuations and is a fair and reasonable amount. We will inform you of any actions we believe should be taken to increase interest and will require you to engage with that process and act on the advice. Failure to do so could mean the money back promise is not valid.

Where we suggest a change in listing price we will present you with analysis and market research which validates our advice including similar properties sold in your area.

The price of the property will still remain your responsibility and your ultimate decision. We only act in an advisory position and are not responsible for the price of the property you set and receive.

11. Recommendations and Affiliates

During the property transaction process Moove may offer you relevant services either by email or online via the Lounge portal.

We may do this in return for a commission if you take out a service with the third party however, we do not require you to use any recommended partners and are free to pick a supplier of your choosing.

These recommendations could be in the form of, but not limited to, conveyancing solicitors, financial advisors, and insurances.

Moove would act as a broker and not a provider of any services other than the services listed in section 2.

12. Cancellation, Terminations and Expired Listings

You have the right to cancel this Agreement within 14 days of accepting these terms and conditions, in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, without giving any reason and will be afforded the protections set out in this clause and clause 12 below. Services that have already begun, under your instruction, within the 14-day period, are excluded from this provision.

If the listing becomes neglected and we cease to receive engagement from the seller to buyer or Moove requests for information, viewings or offers we reserve the right to place the listing on hold and after a further 90 days of inactivity the listing will be terminated, and all fees retained by Moove. This will be referred to as an Expired listing and will be liable for a new fee if the seller wishes to re-list the property on the website.

13. Conduct

We are committed to making the Moove platform a safe and secure place for all users on it. We require communication to remain respectful at all times between the Buyer, Seller and Moove.
