We used MOV8 for selling and purchasing our new home. We have found their service excellent and very efficient from beginning to end. With selling our house we were delighted with the quality of our schedule and the photos were very impressive. We really valued all the advice we received from MOV8 and their professionalism. Mark Hare from MOV8 assisted us with the sale of our house. Mark gave us excellent guidance and advice in order to maintain interest in our property, and advised us greatly when best to set a closing date for our property we were selling. We sold our house very quickly through MOV8. With purchasing our new house we used MOV8, and again Mark Hare gave us great assistance when it came to putting in our successful offer. Before we put in our offer Mark researched the house we were keen to purchase and he gave us great advice when it came to putting in the offer. Mark always provided excellent communication and advice. We have also used Robin Purdie from MOV8 Financial to assist us with our mortgage requirements. Robin has given us excellent advice and helped us to find a great mortgage product. Robin made the whole process of dealing with the financial side of purchasing a new house very clear and easy to follow. Robin responds to any enquiries very quickly. I would certainly recommend the service Robin provides. I would definitely recommend MOV8. We have had an excellent experience with them. They provide excellent customer service. We felt they worked really hard to get us the best deal for selling and purchasing. read more

Selling a property is always expensive. It's always a bit daunting, and always a step into the unknown. Well we're emerging from the other side very happy with the service we've received from mov8. The costs are always going to be high, whoever you use, but they are definitely toward the lower end of the spectrum, and we've sold our flat in a week. A lot of that is down to pricing, location and presentation, but Mov8 definitely played their part with effective advertising, and a slick sales team and organisation behind the scenes. Paperless documentation made life a lot easier, and they were quick at coming round and getting the photos & home report organised. We had interest right from the word go when the property went live, and had professional and helpful advice when it came to accepting an offer. There's not much I can fault them on. We would always like to pay less, but you'll struggle to find such good service any cheaper, and there's so many costs involved in selling up. They were definitely competitive. Perhaps they missed out on a few details of potential viewers, but only minor details. But there's lots of good, and since they are a young company, they are adapting and learning all the time. They don't come with a lot of the old stuffiness of some of the other legal firms around Scotland, and they're getting the job done very effectively for us. Overall, if I could it'd be 4.5 stars from us. read more

From the get go Mov8 really impressed me. I was drawn to them as they seem like a young and 'with it' company, utilising modern technology to it's full potential (ie. Signing things on line/quick and responsive emails) which as a young professional is how I prefer to deal with things. It was easy to set up the initial meeting, with a really no pressure attitude. Everything was dealt with punctually, thoroughly and politely. Every member of staff I dealt with at Mov8 couldn't have been happier to help, give advice (good advice rather than try and pan me off with some industry speak) and we're always really quick to respond when I had a question. I sold my house, for the full asking price in less than 2 weeks, and I can safely say I think much of that is down to Mov8's marketing strategy and their general 'on the ball' attitude. The all in cost is also something which attracted me, you're given a bottom line from the get go, and that is what you pay, so no nasty surprises at the end. I'd highly recommend using them to sell your house & I wish them all the best in their future success. read more

I was slightly dubious about the upfront fee charged by MOV8, and wondered what the motivation would be to sell my property once I had signed up with them. But I needn't have worried! My flat sold within a few weeks at just a fraction under the HR value and after a tense negociation where I turned down three offers! At every stage, the process has been clearly set out and expectations set on timescales and probable outcomes so I was never left wondering what was going on. I have now chosen to use MOV8 in the purchase of a property, and with their advice and encouragement (and another nailbiting negociation) I managed to get our dream house at 17K under the HR value! Result! I guess it must be very frustrating when your property does not sell, and I think it would be easy to point the finger, especially given that MOV8 do things 'a bit differently'. But never once did I feel that the fixed price I was paying meant that I received lower service levels, and the upshot is that I have ended up just feeling totally smug that I got such a bargain!! read more

Extremely pleased with the service provided by Mov8 Real Estate and Mov8 Financial! Would definitely and highly recommend anyone selling and buying property to use this company. Quick off the mark, knowledgeable, approachable, professional and highly efficient company! Special thanks goes to Andrew Reid (valuer), Scott (valuations assistant), David (photographer), Nick Bonar (Harvey, Donaldson & Gibson home report), Kerri Kivlin (organiser of viewings), Paul Harvey (providing excellent assistance as organiser of selling/buying offers), Robin Purdie who cannot be thanked enough due to being available to seek excellent advice from day or night AND at weekends (Mov8 Financial, organiser of mortgages) and Caroline Donaldson (McVey & Murricane Solicitors conveyancing) all of whom provided a fantastic, personalised service and could not have been more helpful in every respect! A very satisfied and grateful customer! read more

I only have the highest of praise for Mov8, we've just completed a sale and purchase through them and would absolutely recommend them to others without hesitation. I liked their refreshing approaching they were clear, efficient and professional. The fixed fee system was excellent and I got exceptional value for money. They made it very clear from the outset how they work -what they do and also what they don't do. I didn't get any false promises or feel that I was paying for services that I didn't want or weren't required. Throughout the process, Mov8 were professional, courteous and approachable. I received regular emails letting me know what to expect at each stage of the process but if I did have any queries, they were incredibly efficient at replying to calls and emails with every query answered quickly and fully. They actually turned our house moving experiance into a pleasurable experiance! read more

Mov8 sold our house and I have to say that they made the whole process much less stressful. We hadn't sold for some time and weren't sure what level of estate agency fees to expect. The fixed fee approach was great as we knew exactly what to budget for. The agent we spoke to was very up front about the price we could expect to achieve and turned out to be bang on the money. They arranged viewings for us immediately and the first viewer were the eventual buyers. I see another reviewer thought it was a no frills service but I wouldn't describe it that way. The various costs are separated out for you so you can choose which frills you want. Overall, we were delighted with the service. From the professional manner of the various discussions to the speed at which the viewings were arranged, Mov8 were very good value for money and I would strongly recommend them if you are thinking of selling. read more

I have recently sold my house through Mov8 and I have to say that I have been very impressed by their professionalism, efficiency and value for money. The property market in my area of Edinburgh is fairly stagnant so I was fairly apprehensive about putting the property up for sale in November. The Mov8 team from office staff to property manager were excellent in managing my expectations and promptly exceeding them. The property sold in double quick time in no small measure down to the snazzy property schedule Mov8 prepared, their market knowledge and their friendly and helpful office staff. We had numerous viewings and eventually sold to the first folk who came through our door. If you are selling house in Edinburgh or further afield I would strongly recommend Mov8. They made what is a very stressful process so much easier. Craig, Edinburgh read more

Great service. We wanted to get on the market quickly and Mov8 pulled out all the stops to help us. Photos and schedule were excellent. Everyone in the team i dealt with gave good advice and kept us constantly updated with developments and what we should be doing. I love the email service and the log on link where you can see everything in one place, viewings, notes of interest, offers. Makes everything very easy to follow. We used the same Edinburgh firm the last two times we moved who were very good but work out expensive in comparison. I had thought the trade off with Mov8's reduced cost would have been a poorer service however nothing could be further from the truth, you get excellent value and an excellent service. read more

I have been very happy with the service provided by Mov8 having just sold my flat after it was on the market for just over three months. I especially appreciated the straight talking, upfront nature of the way they do business there was no uncertainty of what we would have to pay and when. The quality of the initial visit / viewing and schedules was excellent and this definitely helped to pull viewers in the door. Any problems we encountered were dealt with swiftly and corrected straight away. I was particularly impressed with the negotiation process and advice I received whilst finalising the deal. I would definitely recommend Mov8 to anyone looking to sell, especially if you want to do it on a fixed budget. read more

I read all these reviews on different websites and thought this must be the best company to sell with. So we chose them. We have been trying to sell since last November and I know there is not much selling, but feel no-one is helping us at all. All very nice when we phone, but feel like I am speaking to a wall. I have thought about the deal we got, only paying £600 upfront and no fees afetr sold, and now reckon this causes the problem. They're not going to make any more money out of my girlfriend and me, so don't think they are interested. Anyway, now have to make the decision to move and lose our £600 bit annoyed. We must have been very unlucky or these sellers have been very lucky to sell quick. read more

Was attracted to Mov8 for their fixed fee model. The guy who came round was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He explained how much money we could hope to save if we used Mov8 rather than other firms that would charge a percentage. It was quite astonishing really! The process of getting the property on the market was very smooth and painless. The photos looked amazing! Everyone in the office was super friendly and helpful, and explained everything so simply in plain English. In the end the flat sold in 6 weeks and we got exactly the price we wanted for it. We are really happy with the service we received, the money we saved and have recommended Mov8 to friends. read more

All estate agents work quickly when they get an offer, means a fee getting paid. Sounds similar to my experience, the difficulty I found was when the house wasn't selling, and I became a pest, not so quick to act. Because Mov8 charge the fee upfront, they won't be getting this when they sell unlike other estate agents, but think they will be getting fees from solicitors for passing work on, another reason to hurry oh, and means one less person for them to try and deal with once you have sold. I think the problem here may be taking on more properties than the staff can handle due to charging practically nothing. I did read somewhere about you get what you pay for.. read more

I would strongly recommend Mov8 to anyone thinking of selling a property in Edinburgh. The team is friendly and dynamic, and always available to answer questions. The marketing package is amazing and they will provide you with an extremely efficient approach, which works! Thanks to them, we sold our flat after only 5 weeks on the market, despite the 'tough' conditions. We were very nervous about putting our property on the market but MOV8 explained everything clearly, step by step, and made it really easy for us. We are extremely pleased with the service we receive. Great value for money! read more

The Mov8 team were fantastic for making the process of selling my property very easy. I was very impressed by the professional service from my initial introduction with Jenna to the rest of the team I communicated over email. I sold my flat very quickly which I think was down to the professional photo brochure, friendly manner which Mov8 deal with the potential buyers and Mov8's marketing process. I have already recommended Mov8 to my friends, who I believe have accepted an offer on their property after a few weeks on the market. I will definitely continue to recommend Mov8 to others. read more

I've been very impressed with Mov8. Fixed fees and very slick professional handling of taking our house on board and putting it on the market. I was particularly impressed with the marketing documentation and the friendly assistance I got from the staff I had contact with. It took over 3 months to move the house but that was more to do with the current housing market and, possibly, the timing [went on the market not long before Christmas and I don't imagine there's much happening in January and February any way] than anything that Mov8 could control. Would certainly use them again. read more

My husband was reluctant about trying out a service where you pay for the service up front but I coaxed him in to trying Mov8 after a friend had used them successfully on 2 occasions. It has saved us around £3500, on what we would have paid to our local estate agency firm. We had a sale within 3 weeks and concluded missives within 6/7 weeks! We are delighted! The team at Mov8 were proffessional, helpful and available to guide and direct us through the house selling process. Susan L was a complete Gem and no query seemed to be too much trouble. Thank you MOv8! read more

I have just recently sold my house through MOV8 and am extremely happy with the service, from the first visit of Jenna and then dealing with mostly Angelika I have had a very pleasant experience but all the staff I have spoken to have been really nice, friendly and helpful. Angelika is a credit to your Company, she kept me up to date each step of the way. I have now recommended my friend to sell her house with yourselves and happy to advise that she has taken up my recommendation and selling her property through MOV8 as well. Keep up the good work. read more

Cannot recommend Mov8 Real Estate highly enough. The whole process from start to finish was handled efficiently and professionally. From the the lady who came out to talk to me to the people in the office, everyone has been polite and courteous, keeping me updated every step of the way, always with a cheery manner. This is the worst I have ever seen the property market and for Mov8 Real Estate to sell my flat after only 3 weeks on the market speaks volumes about the company and its staff in my opinion. read more
