Once again, I’ve been absolutely delighted with my experience using MOV8’s estate agency services. A special mention goes to Sean, the incredibly talented photographer, and Rory Murray, my dedicated Sales Consultant. Rory was always just a call or email away when I needed him, and his professionalism and expertise truly stood out. He kept me thoroughly updated throughout the entire selling process and offered fantastic advice every step of the way. Rory is a real credit to MOV8, and I’ll genuinely miss our interactions. Highly recommend!... Read more

Kim, Abbie, Scott and Grant have done a sterling job in both advising me on the sale of our flat and arranging the Home Report. They have shown great patience during a prolonged sale process (with delays entirely down to us!), delivering an excellent result. We have used Mov8 in the past and they will be our first choice in any future sale.... Read more

The onboarding was excellent, the sales team were atrocious, but the conveyancing staff (especially Tara-Mae) were exceptional.
We did consider moving estate agents. While the property is on the market, you speak to so many different sales staff. It is a different person each time. There is no personal phone number to a dedicated person in charge of your property.
Prospective buyers have also commented on how bad the process for booking viewings is. We ended up putting our phone number on the sales listing to handle viewings ourselves. Doesn't that defeat the process of an estate agent when you're doing everything yourself?
We originally accepted an offer, but the buyer pulled out when they realised they had to pay second home tax. Incredibly, I had to explain how the second home tax worked to the person phoning me about the offer about how it can be reclaimed. This was at 4.45pm on a Friday, and they promised to tell the buyer about this and phone me back right away, but they didn't phone back until the Monday, by which time they had moved on. There were numerous times Mov8 made me incredibly angry with their slow responses, and if you phone them back, its a new person you speak to, and you have to explain time and time again what is happening.
The sales team is summed up when we had the flat under offer, and they sent viewing requests. I called them to stop these requests and the guy said "Oh, I didn't realise your flat was under offer..". Is that what you want your estate agent saying, when they don't know what is going on?
The conveyancing team is the only thing that is keeping me from writing a one star review. Given the time of year, I'd take one of these 3 stars and chuck it in the air, and let it guide you to a more professional estate agent.... Read more

Myself and my wife used Mov8 and have received absolutely excellent service.
From the start and right up to settlement completion yesterday, everything was handled brilliantly, we were so happy with how detailed and supportive our solicitor Iqra was. Even if I was about to email with any sort of questions, I'd receive an email from Iqra leaving me not even needing to send my email or ask anything.
We never had any reason to stress and no reason to chase for any updates. Iqra was on top of it every step of the way and is very proactive in her work.
Greatly appreciate the support from Mov8 with our first home purchase, especially Iqra, an absolute star and a definite asset to the business.
Thank you very much.... Read more

Earlier this year, I approached MOV8 regarding the sale of my flat located at the Shore in Leith, Edinburgh. I met with the Property Surveyor and was immediately impressed with his friendly demeanor, professional approach and knowledge of the market, both locally and nationally. The team at MOV8 proved to be fast and efficient, with regular communication to keep me informed of progress. All compulsory checks and associated paper work were expedited promptly and the team took time to talk me through each stage of the process. Staff efficiency and good communication were pivotal to a quick sale. Within 6 days of my flat going on the market, I received a number good offers on my property, which certainly enhanced my overall satisfaction! Just to conclude, I found MOV8 staff to be friendly, professional and efficient and would highly recommend them if you are considering selling your own property.... Read more

Mov8 have been really good at keeping me informed in advance of property viewings and without any issues, updates to the listing quickly when needed. Whilst it took longer than expected to sell my property, this has been due to the summer months being a bit slower. It was particularly helpful having Kai set realistic expectations to buyers and securing the best price for the property. Kai also showed his genuine excitement when we secured an offer which made me feel valued as a client.

When I was getting quotes from other local estate agents they warned me: “even if you use Yopa for selling your house, you should still use a local solicitor for conveyancing.”
I ignored this advice and took the risk and, excepting some issues outwit the control of MOV8, it went very well. Tara-Mae at the Edinburgh office must be praised in particular for being attentive and responsive throughout the sale and onward purchase.
I only deduct one star because you mustn’t be fooled by Yopa’s estimate for MOV8’s fees. Whilst MOV8 are fixed-price and (in solicitor terms at least) quite fair, there will inevitably be complications in a house move that will increase the end invoice. But they’re still better value than any local solicitor though, and with great customer service. Very highly recommended.... Read more

It's the 2nd time we've used MOV8 services and both times it was absolutely amazing. We were buying a home and unfortunately initially we chose a different (cheaper) solicitor. That was a mistake, and we had a lot of issues and too much stress. Fortunately, MOV8 accepted to take over our case, and it was a night and day difference. Professional communication, good manners, kindness, caring for the clients, being on top of things at all times. In short, just amazing. I hope we will never have to use any other solicitor and with any future transactions this will be always our first choice. It is worth every penny for the peace of mind and good care.

Gillian at Mov8 was absolutely fantastic during the purchase of our new house. We moved from England to Scotland which isn't straightforward anyway but we also had some difficult solicitors on the English side of the transaction meaning we were delayed on the sale. The Scottish side of the transaction was an absolute breeze comparatively. Gillian was very helpful in trying to get the sale moving along too which we greatly appreciated.... Read more

My first POC at mov8 was Erin, she was courteous and prompt with all her dealings with us. Kudos also goes to Gillian my solicitor, who was spot on in all our conversations, she was so friendly, nice and always there to answer all our queries. She also keeps to her promises on feedbacks. I won't forget to add Ryan for his excellent and professional carriage.
To the entire team, we want you to know that every small contribution really adds up. Your hard work has made all the difference, and we couldn't be more grateful for it.

I would absolutely recommend Mov8 from start to finish. Every single person involved in the process of both buying and selling were extremely professional and efficient, as well as very friendly and reassuring. Each has their own field of expertise which meant that every stage was completed with vast knowledge and quickly. My house sold within a week and I had an offer accepted very quickly too. Missives were concluded on both sides with a week to spare. I can honestly say Mov8 took a massive part of the stress of moving away and would definitely use them again!... Read more

I didn't think we would buy the house in the time quoted (as naively I thought it seemed too quick), but we did thanks to Mov8.
My only criticism is the online dashboard didn't seem to always reflect what was happening, even now it's marked as ~60% complete but we have completed buying the house.

Mov8 Solicitors used for the concurrent sale and purchase of a house. Got the job done. A mostly excellent service with a short period of poor service.
We used Mov8 for the sale of a house in Fife to cover the purchase of a new house in Perthshire. The new client team (Maxine, Chloe, Erin) who handled our initial interactions were excellent at communicating with us through the process of making offers (2 unsuccessful, 1 successful) for a new house. They were responsive by email and could be contacted easily over the phone. When on leave the team managed to delegate seamlessly to another team member, which was particularly useful when having to bid by deadlines. When our offer was accepted on our house to purchase, it then turned to us listing our old house for sale. After going to market and accepting an offer, this is where we went through to the case managers to start the conveyancing process.
Unfortunately, this is where is took a dip in service, our initial case manager (no longer working with the firm) did not respond to any emails and was latterly found out to have done very little to no work starting the conveyancing process. This was highly disappointing given the excellent communication & service we had experienced from new client team. The long story short is we found out five days before our intended 'case completion' date of the concurrent sale and purchase of our properties that our case manager had left the firm - by out of office email response. The Legal Director, Nigel, assisted by Kirsten, stepped in. In short, communication picked back up again to a very good standard. Unfortunately we had to defer our purchase/sale by six weeks, this in turn was due to delays caused from our purchasers, but with a competent case manager back at the helm we were able to conclude missives and get our purchase and sale over the line.
Hopefully this is an accurate description of our experience with Mov8. Its a shame that our initial case manager didn't grasp the situation and I'm not sure what was going on behind the scenes. But for most of this process, they have been a good team to deal with and they have, got us over the line. So thank you to Maxine, Erin, Chloe, Nigel and Kirsten, our main points of contact, for your very good and reassuring level of communication and for getting a concurrent house sale and purchase complete....

I had previously used a different estate agent and solicitor for a previous move and the experience was very poor and created a lot of additional stress for me. Any concerns I had going into the selling/ buying process again quickly dissipated.

Used Mov8 for conveyance to buy my first home. Was assigned a trainee solicitor who never met us, never shared any update with us. Just no personal touch. Kept everything till the last date. We didn’t know we would get the house until the last hour.
We being new to the property market had a few questions and doubts. When we asked our solicitor who was our personal solicitor we were met by someone who was robotic and didn’t care and was just doing her job. No personal touch.
When I was enquiring and shopping around to find a solicitor Mov8 customer service was the best. I mean the best… follow up calls and emails etc… but once we decided to go ahead with them the relationship just died. Our solicitor just sent an email to us asking for docs.. no personal call to introduce herself and explain the process and what will happen. Nothing.
We ignored this and felt it’s ok but when things were just left till thxx we last minute is when we lost it. Can you imagine not knowing whether you will move into your new home or not till noon the day you have to move out of your old home.... Read more

I had the incredible luck to work with Daniel when starting my house- hunting journey and have to say I am very impressed and happy how efficient and straightforward he and his colleagues have been when dealing with all sorts of situations! He has always been clear whenever I needed more information and wanted to know how the process was going! MOV8 have also supported us and showed understanding after our first two failed attempts at purchasing and continued believing in us that we will find a property. I am really happy how quick and smooth the process was and how clear and explanatory all the information they provided was! Very professional people and incredible sevice! I fully recommend using their services!... Read more

I’ve been trying to get a viewing for one of their properties for almost a week. I haven’t gotten any replies from them, all I got was an email where they asked me to fill out a form. I did, but they never called me back. I sent them and email and then booked “a call” where one of their employees would call me but they never did.
Terrible service. Not recommend at all!

Ross Sneddon was my initial contact and explained everything in detail and arrived with examples of marketing. He was very friendly and professional.
Once I made my choice of preferred estate agent (MOV8) I was contacted by Lindsay Simpson who was responsible for collecting all the relevant property and personal details plus arranging the sales board, photographer and home report appointments and then had the information assembled into a video, photographs, property schedule for my approval.
Quite simply Lindsay was excellent and outstanding at her job. Both her manner and efficiency were second to none.
At this point I was passed onto Ben Ginn who was responsible for the sale of the property. After a explanation of the sales procedures and advice I was able to customise the plan to my own specifications. Ben was very professional and kept me informed regularly at every stage
What I now have to stress is the dedication, knowledge and speed with which the whole process took. Plus how seamlessly I was passed onto each person who had all the previous information to hand. I was constantly kept up to date by everyone through emails, texts and phone calls but more importantly whenever I left a message or sent an email they were replied to and answered promptly.
Genuinely an excellent service from MOV8. ... Read more

We were unfortunate to have one of the worst experience with this solicitor firm. We were given a trainee who had limited experience. Our move was delayed just before Christmas with less than 24hours notice and it took them 6 weeks to agree a new date. We were told that it was because someone in the chain had gone on holiday which seems implausible. Things were such last minute they didn’t send standard observations till 4weeks in to the 8 week lead time which led to them chasing things right till the last minute. Then 1 week prior to our new move date we found our mortgage had lapsed as the solicitor had not actioned something they should have. We had to get a new deal in less than 24hours. We complained and to date have no answers to any of the issues. It was escalated to a senior manager Mr Gordon who said he would provide a response in ten working days. Here we are 6 weeks later and multiple chasers and he has not responded. We have taken it directly to the SLCC. It’s been a horrendous time and the firm were nothing short of shocking. I would not recommend them to anyone.... Read more

We had a great experience with Mov8 selling our property, especially the conveyancing with Leah McGibbon who acted with professionalism, care and assertiveness throughout. This was especially appreciated as we had problematic buyers intent on messing us around. Our queries were answered promptly and thoroughly.
I'm using them to buy a proper now and will be using them to sell another property later this year.
Having used other solicitors last year who were slow and probably cost us a sale, I'm really pleased with how efficient the Mov8 team have been.
The property market in Scotland can be a torturous and frustrating journey at times and things can be lost in translation leading to misunderstandings. Given my experience with other solicitors, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mov8.... Read more

Communication extremely poor always chasing up over multiple days and never getting any answers. Lots of hidden fees that your not warned about by the house valuer . Promises a nice fixed cheap deal then everything comes out the woodwork . Constantly re-doing online forms even though they have been completed several times. 0 contact with the case manager . Firms in Glasgow and Edinburgh don't talk to each other so they have mixed information about where you are in the process and whats needed.

Conveyancing team is an absolute nightmare.
We were recommended this solicitors for buying our first property and in the beginning everything was perfect with the solicitor putting in the offers for us, we were given some great advice and we were happy. As soon as we were handed over to the conveyancing team we ran into delays and problems while being bounced back and forward between more than 4 different handlers. We had no updates to say our forms had arrived safely or if our emails with documents had been received. We had to constantly ask for updates on the process as no had been in touch and their response time was days. Finally the entry date is a week away and they requested us to send documents that we had already sent weeks prior. The entry date was now 24hrs away and we receive the settlement funds bill and were expected to make a single payment over our maximum that was allowed to be sent in one transaction which left me and my partner stressed while trying to fix the situation in our working hours.
Finally, we have had no handover or and correspondence since getting the keys.
We do not recommend.... Read more

After my sale fell through I cut my losses and remarketed with another estate agent and solicitor. I couldn't
face the stress of dealing with MOV8 any longer.
Communication is the problem. There is no opportunity to meet face to face so you are reliant on emails and phone calls. The system is extremely inefficient. Most emails go to junk. My first agent handling my purchase warned me of this. There is no such thing as a direct line to anyone although you will be told otherwise. My second agent handling my sale expressed surprise that I couldn't get through on the number she gave me. Expect to spend half a day trying to get through to your agent by phone.
Expect to repeat yourself a lot as agents often don't listen carefully enough. I found this extremely irritating. You will be dealing with multiple agents.
The final agent handling the conveyancing didn't bother to identify herself as my case manager. I worked out who she was and contacted her. She should have phoned me to tell me that my sale had fallen through. Instead she sent an email which I later found in junk. I finally got through to her on the phone after 11am the following day. I have received an apology from MOV8 for this.
Two other estate agents have identified ways to improve on the marketing I received. MOV8 was described to me as an example of lazy estate agency.
Other agencies operate in the evenings and at weekends. Limited availability was a further frustration. I am often not in a position to be available by phone during the day.
I made a big mistake employing MOV8 and have wasted a lot of money as a result of not doing my homework. A very upsetting experience.
The billing and credit dept are much more efficient. Their bills appeared in junk too but I'm now geared up for this. Be very careful of the upfront fee and one stop shop approach. Look very carefully at any documentation.... Read more

I recently sold my buy to let property through mov8 and couldn't be more disappointed , angry and frustrated at the whole situation.
Great at the beginning when dealing with the sale team but as soon as I was moved to the conveyancing department,the nightmare began.
I had 2 sales falling through and I got charged £350 Extra eventually it got sold at the third attempt.
The problem with this is that at no point I have got advised on what to do with the various issues but instead I had to chase my solicitor for info and advice but the response was always very vague.
Eventually I spoke to one of my friend who he has properties and advised on what to do which fixed the problem and allowed me to proceed with the sale.
Also, I have got moved to 3 different solicitors Which made the whole situation more confusing.
One solicitor went on holiday while we were on concluding the missives and failed to let me know!!!!!
All in all a very bad experience.
On positive note I have some other properties which I will sell in the near future and I know who not to choose
2022.
I have now purchased a new home with a small estate agent and I can safely say that experience was by far better.
I strongly recommend everyone who wants to purchase their first home especially to ask lots of questions before embarking on a journey like this.not everyone is the same.
I really hope my advices will help others.
Thanks ????... Read more

Horrible experience. We were speaking to different people all the time, they made a mistake with our cash settlement for our house and called us the day before we were due to move asking for another £2,500. They then sent an email and it was now £2900. They sent another amended cash statement after we paid it and the figures didn’t add up. I tried to file a complaint and was just responded to email after email from the same person not explaining well to my questions and taking ages to respond. I would not trust this company with my money again.. very unprofessional after trusting them with so much money. Will never use again.... Read more

What drove me up the wall was the fact that Mov8 contacted our OWN SOLICITOR and told him we were going with them, when I found out I was completely shocked.

We heard about this team via our house developer and builders, from the moment we made initial contact, the team were fantastic at getting straight back to us with any questions and queries we had.
The quote we received was realistic and very fair for what we required. Other firms charged much more than Mov8.
They made the process really easy for us from start to finish. The information they gave us about the whole process of buying a house made it again really easy. We were not overwhelmed at all during the process.
I would happily recommend this team if buying a property if you want great correspondence, great advice and a great overall experience in buying a house.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The first phone call was with the guy called Andy (I didn't get his last name). He talked to me in the tone with annoyance and didn't answer my questions properly. He promised to get in touch after reviewing my case. It took more than a week. I had to call again. Then, I first contacted Robyn Fleming on the 12th of January 2021. Since then, I had to send numerous emails to Robyn and Leah McGibbon to get a response or to get something done. It took weeks for the compliance team to contact me. According to Leah, the compliance team was not thinking that my case is not urgent since my house will be finished by July. Even after I followed up with the necessary documents, I still have to send three emails to Leah to give me an update in 2 weeks period. There was no response. If they couldn't act on my behalf, they should have contacted me earlier or updated me with whatever they are doing. They wasted a lot of my time and effort with the whole process whereby I could have been doing that with another firm. I am so not happy with their services and the way they treated the customers....

First time selling and buying a new house, I cannot recommend Mov8 enough, From the initial valuation, appointments were very flexible, Fraser was on time and knew his stuff about the area and did exactly what he said he would. At this point we were unsure if we were putting our property on the market, No pressure at all from Mov8 after valuation. I had a few other valuations and none were to the standard and Detail Mov8 did. We required everything done quickly which was no hassle for them, Pictures done and looked good, For Sale sign, I did request another which again was no problem and up within days.
A special Thanks to Rachel Curran – our property Negotiator, having never done this before, we asked lots of question and were no problem for Rachel. Anytime I called to ask a question, I had Rachels direct number which I always got through to her on, if she was not in, she called back quickly.
Our house sold within 14 days over Christmas and New year which was incredible, Viewings were made easy and Rachel spoke to us most days, on numerous times, she actually apologised for calling too much, however we thought it was great getting this much attention to detail from Rachel.
If I ever sell or buy a house again, it will be with Mov8.
Oh.. and they were cheaper than other quotes but gave a real 5 star service

We decided to choose MOV8 to buy & sell, after getting 4 quotes from different estate agents (online & high St) MOV8 were definitely on top.
As soon as the sales manager Scott entered out property to give us a valuation and quote for the fees, we knew straight away we would be taken care of. I felt at ease and believed in his valuation and advice.
I have a small baby and 2 dogs, so I knew selling my house would be stressful, let alone buying a house too.
I did not feel in anyway stressed, I was not pressured into paying more for viewing service or premium advertising such as printed brochures or extra signs (most of the other estate agents were trying to do), which meant I could show my home with my baby around, and dogs in the garden.
Once I chose MOV8, I was assigned a purchase negotiator, Ed, for buying,
And a property negotiator, Robbie, for Selling.
Within a day, Ed had managed to secure an offer on my dream property, and because of his sound advice, I managed to get it under value and saved myself a few thousand.
Robbie took over the sale of my property, and because he understood my needs having a small infant, we decided to stay 1-2-1, which helped me massively so I only had to deal with him regarding viewers, offers & interest, he only contacted me via my preferred options, such as emails so it didn't wake my baby etc.
My property sold in just over week of viewings and 1 open viewing. I had over 40 couples come and view my property in the space of a week. All well organised and efficient so I could make the most of my time with my family.
Mov8 also managed to secure an offer £28k over the value of my home due to the skills that Robbie used to negotiate the buyers offers.
I am still in the process of the solicitors, so I can't comment of that side of things, but I would definitely reccomend Mov8, and I would use them again in the future.
From selling my property to moving in, a moving date of 8 weeks were given, so fingers crossed I will be enjoying my new property real soon.
Thankyou Mov8!... Read more

I found Move8 to be a very professional and personable company to deal with from start to completion. Very friendly staff whom I found to be very amiable and willing to assist me throughout the process of selling my property. They have a great online tool, which all correspondence are kept and to which you have full access to. I also found them to be very competitively priced with clear fixed pricing schedules and the most competative of the three companies I invited to bid for the business. I can't recommend them highly enough.... Read more

We had an amazing experience with this firm from start to finish. They communicate very well throughout the process, we knew what to expect and were guided all throughout. They have an online facility to view the interest in the property and the appoinments we had ahead. They are open late during weekdays and during weekends! They advertise everywhere possible giving maximum exposure for the property we were selling. I am giving the 5 stars out of 5 and an extra one for the human factor for the excitement on our behalf from our principal agent and consistent telephone contact to talk us through of what was going on, as we encountered some bumps along the way from the other side....

Sold in less than 48hrs and fantastic service throughout!
Our MOV8 experience was fantastic from beginning to end. From the moment we instructed MOV8 to sell our flat the communication excellent, with photos, home report, etc all being booked in at a convenient time. The marketing was ready super fast and looked great, and we were on the market well within the timeframe given at the start of the process.
We received our first viewing request in a couple of hours and the property was sold for what we wanted less than 48hrs later!!!
The legal side was professional and clear throughout with everything being explained clearly.
Overall I'm delighted with MOV8 and I'd highly recommend them when selling a property!... Read more

This is the 2nd time we have used Mov8 - we used them three years ago to sell our 2 bed flat in Leith, and this time for our 4 bed house in Midlothian.
We were really happy with the service before when our flat sold within 10 days, and this time when our house was sold in around 2 weeks. A lot is obviously down to getting the right person, but Mov8 certainly did everything right their end, from valuation, marketing and finally negotiation where we were really happy. The portal you get for viewings / feedback is really good and they are excellent for communications and getting back to you.
One of the other main reasons we chose them was their flexible pricing - we only wanted to sell if we could get a particular house we had seen, and if that fell through we would have taken house off market. With Mov8 we were able to pay a much smaller up front cost, compared to rivals. Another firm wanted to charge full price even if we had taken off the market, c£6k!... Read more

From start to finish Mov8 sales team were amazing but unfortunately the conveyancing team seriously let them down! This is the second property we have sold with Mov8. The first time we couldn’t fault them at all everything went smoothly from start to finish - this time it has not. There have been HUGE communication issues with the conveyancing team with emails not being answered on several occasions and in particular on member of the team couldn’t have cared less about business, so much so I had to put a complaint in and had to phone several times from my holiday abroad turning what should have been a relaxing time into an extremely stressful one!!!! Thankfully I will never need to use them again as will no longer be living in the Edinburgh area.
Thanks again to Alan, Ellen, Joanna, Stephanie, Monica, Ed, Louise and all the rest of the sales team but my advice, get someone else to do the conveyancing!!!... Read more

Admin: so user friendly and a modern approach, we could submit ID via our smartphones which is what we needed because we didn’t have time to travel in and wait to photocopy documents,
Marketing and home report: as with the valuation, they just knew all the right things to highlight and take into account to showcase our property well and give a realistic account of the condition and value.
Viewing Appointments: loved these guys, they got the right people viewing our property at times that worked for us.

Our property sale using Mov8 was back in June last year, but recently tried to offer on a house through them and was reminded of the poor service levels received. We had a lot of initial interest from buyers which we expected, but they all seemed to fizzle out without being able to be spoken to. When I tried to contact them, my nominated person was never available, I’d be told she’d ring me once she’d finish her call, 4,5 or 6 hours would go by. If I happen to miss the call, even ringing back a few minutes later would mean it is another long wait for the call back again. Days go by trying to communicate for such simple things. There were so many things I could complain about with them, but ultimately I blame myself for going with the cheapest, they cost me at least 10k on the sale price. Trying to offer is the same, takes 2 days to hear that someone else has offered higher so it’s a no. They don’t even let you know it’s being considered. I assumed it had been rejected and I had been forgotten about so moved on to other houses. They’re essentially a call centre. Their reason for not calling back during the day was that they’re speaking to solicitors etc who are only available during the day. They have a nasty habit of calling a few minutes before closing, so if you miss it they’re closed when you ring back, and do another day passes. I could go on and on.......... Read more

Bad, bad, bad. Don't fall for low rates; you will get what you pay for. Mov8 used a wrong pricing strategy for the sale of our property. They don't give you direct access to the dedicated handler for the sale, they make mistakes in the ad and then take ages to correct them. The legal team is even worse and all you hear from the solicitor is 'I have other deals to close' and 'I sent them an email, what more do you want me to do?'. When I went to Mov8 office to sign the final paperwork for the sale of my property, the solicitor didn't even offer a handshake, let alone a cup of coffee or a glass of water. Perfectly sums up Mov8, the Ryanair of estate agents. Avoid, avoid, avoid!... Read more

Truly awful service when we sold our flat in Corstorphine. We were misinformed from beginning to end. Quite a few incidents occured that left us with absolutely no faith in Mov8, I am involved in the property market through work so know the process and what to expect and I was totally shocked at the ineptitude, the incidents included:
1) I specifically asked before deciding to market with Mov8 whether we would be advertised on Right Move straight away. I was assured we would be. We then noticed our flat was only on ESPC and when we queried this it emerged that Mov8 have a deal with ESPC for exclusive rights for advertising for the first week, so we were totally misinformed.
2) We were told one morning that we had received a fantastic offer for our flat. We were over the moon and accepted it, we contacted the solicitors for the house we were moving to and told them we could proceed, we told family and friends and organised the move out. We were then informed 8 hours later that they were also marketing another flat in our block and they had made an error - the offer had been for the other flat. We were obviously really upset but felt like we couldn't swap estate agents because we had already paid a large upfront fee.
3) During the following week we had viewers turn up at our flat that were organised through Mov8 but that we were never informed of, we had to turn one away who turned up at night just after arranging through Mov8 as we had an appointment we couldn't change and were just leaving the flat, we never heard from that viewer again so he was obviously put off enough not to make a repeat viewing. We had to chase Mov8 for information about viewings and every time we contacted them we spoke to a different person who had absolutely no knowledge of our file and we had to explain the whole situation from scratch again.
3) A week later we received two offers on the same day, one quite a bit lower than the other. The lower one was also conditional on the offerer losing out on another property he was offering on the following day. We got a phone call from Mov8 at quarter to 5 that night suggesting that we set a closing date for the following morning in order to ensnare this gentleman who had made the lower offer. We couldn't get our head around this advice for a number of reasons, firstly that the offer Mov8 wanted us to secure was quite a bit lower than the other and secondly if we set a closing date late one evening for the following morning, that gave other potential offerers no time at all to notice online that there was a closing date and to make an offer, and it had not occured to Mov8 that they would need to contact these people and tell them about the closing date. Luckily we did not follow this advice and told Mov8 we wanted to set a closing date for 3 days time and that they would need to inform everyone who had noted interest that this was happening. We have an estate agency branch in the firm I work in and when discussing it with colleagues, they were absolutely appalled by the advice we were given and couldn't believe any trained professional would suggest this.
4) At the beginning of the marketing we told Mov8 that we did not need them to do our conveyancing . We were assured this was fine and they noted it on file. When we accepted an offer they apparently lost the note that said we were not using them for the conveyancing and our solicitor did not receive the offer for almost 2 days, which caused additional stress when we had thought at this point there was no further way Mov8 could make a mess of things.
We relayed all this to Mov8 and we received a £200 discount for all the trouble, however considering the fact that we had such awful service which caused us stress and upset and effectively had to tell Mov8 how to market our own property as they themselves had no idea, we feel this was not adequate and feel sympathy for people using Mov8 who may not have the confidence to challenge their decisions and would accept their errors and awful suggestions....

Lauren Fernie was a great help and nothing was too much trouble for her. She was pleasant and attentive at all times, getting back to me when she said she would. Great support and service. Everything was done quickly and efficiently. The only slight negative for me was regarding the quality of the photographs. I felt they were a bit pale and didn’t look as strong as I felt they should, hence the 4 starts and not 5. Apart from that all is going well and we are now liaising with Walker Laird in Paisley for completion.... Read more

Really impressed with the whole service from start to finish, Kevin managed to market and succesfullly sell my property despite my constant neurotic phone calls, he guided me through the whole sales process with a steady hand and when I was flapping (as I am proned to do) he reassured me and we (well he) achieved a better price for my property than I set out wishing to achieve.
From the moment that I first met Ross for the valuation of my property I was impressed if not a bit sceptical of his keen and enthusiastic approach, it seemed almost too good to be true but when Kevin then took over and dealt with the sale of my flat, he was confident he could achieve the price I wanted, which he exceeded by the way, it could not have been easier, I (well Kevin and his team) managed to market and sell my property whilst I was in another country. All I will have to do is come back to empty my stuff out and hand in the keys.
Thank you so much to Kevin and your team.
I highly recommend mov8 to anyone trying to sell in Edinburgh.... Read more

Very concerned about what I think is a serious issue and could have resulted in my brother losing a buyer. Selling with Mov8 recently, he has just found out that there was a person who had noted interest on his property, but when he received an offer from another buyer was urged to accept it, and not made aware of this other interest.
This buyer's solicitor were then not contacted by MOV8 when his first offer fell through to check if still interested. Apparently when their solicitor phoned Mov8 they were told 'they were just about to phone them' - they said the same when the solicitor phoned them when he accepted the first offer and this man had not been given any opportunity to offer.
So was only down to neighbours, friends and luck they found out his house was being advertised again, and offered. He has since realised he knows the buyers family, and has been chatting to him hence the reason this has come to light.
I would say it is a solicitors duty to pass on all interest and offers to a client, having read the law society advice on selling. But my brother has now taken advice on this from another solicitor, and his advice is just to 'learn a lesson' about low priced agents, and be grateful all worked out in the end thanks to neighbours. It would cost him more money & effort to pursue this. So I feel I should write a review and at least make others aware of potential problems which at least I can do without cost and hopefully prevent others possibly missing out on buyers as my brother would have thanks to Mov8.....

Moving next week and I can't thank the team at Mov8 enough for the help and guidance through the complicated process of selling a house. The fist contact with Mov8 was easy - they arranged for a lovely young man to come by and not only give a valuation but also explain the process of the sale in great detail. Both sale (Louisa) and purchase (Sarah) teams were fantastic! Easily accessible, answered all my annoying questions with a smile and kept us up to date with everything.

The negotiators (and support staff) were solid, and really good at chasing on your behalf, as well as coming across very friendly.
Wrap this within an understood and fair pricing model (fixed fee!), then you can see why they are clear front runners in the Edinburgh Estate Agent scene.
I have had a very positive experience with MOV8 and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

As selling agents, Mov8 were brilliant. They got our house on the market quickly, the schedule and web listings were all to a high quality. At one point I had queried something that should have been on the Zoopla listing but wasn't, and they chased it doggedly with Zoopla until it appeared correctly, keeping me updated the whole way. We sold our house in 3 weeks.
Unfortunately, that's where our positive experiences ended - as soon as Mov8 handed us over to their recommended partner solicitors, McVey Murricane, everything became a challenge. We made the mistake of using these solicitors as our conveyancors for selling and buying, and for me, It felt like I had to chase them every step of the way, and they were very difficult to get on the phone. Right up until moving day, they seemed to drag their heels - at one point, a week prior to the planned completion date for the sale and purchase, the solicitor dealing with us actually asked me to remind her what day we were moving on! Missives didn't conclude on our purchased property until the same day of purchase, and they didn't even tell us that the sale had concluded, just texted me to tell me to go drop off the keys for our old house.
I had to hassle them by email on the day of conclusion (as their phone lines were all ringing out) to find out if the keys for our new place were ready, and although they eventually said they were, when I got to the Mov8 office to pick up the keys (the seller was using them too!) the staff in the office were very apologetic but informed me that Mcvey Murricane hadn't yet sent the note to release the keys. So we had to wait around for about 25 mins while the poor girls in the Mov8 office tried to call through to Mcvey Murricane to get the keys released.
Look, I can only describe my experiences of Mov8's partner solicitors. YMMV. Mov8 were great - I couldn't recommend them enough. But don't feel like you have to use their conveyancing solicitors - if we knew then what we know now, we'd have shopped around a bit for a solicitor who suited our communication style better (ie we like communication!) Moving Day is too stressful to have to put up with the additional worry of not knowing whether a sale is going to conclude or not. Don't get me wrong, McVey Murricane did manage to conclude the sale and purchase in the end, but it felt like a hard slog.
I've thought long and hard about whether to write this review - it's been over two months since Mov8 found a buyer for our old property, and a month since we moved in here. I'm very much in the "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all" camp, but if we had seen more cautionary stories about choosing the right solicitor, we might have done things differently. My four-star rating for Mov8 would have been a five-star had they not recommended that we use McVey Murricane.... Read more

We bought a new flat and sold our old flat through MOV8 and were delighted with their service. We were particularly impressed with their straightforward advice about market value, the speed and efficiency with which they brought our flat to market, and the helpfulness and responsiveness of all their staff. We had a huge number of viewings and sold within a month, above the home report value. A quick sale was particularly important for us as we had already bought our new flat. For our purchase the excellent mortgage advice and assistance from their sister company, MOV8 Financial, made what can be a stressful experience incredibly straightforward and, despite quite complex requirements, were able to offer with a mortgage agreed in principal within 24 hours of our first enquiry....

I met a few different estate agents and what attracted me to Mov8 was the simplicity of them offering an all-in fixed price service, rather than getting a percentage of the sale of the property. They seem to be one of the only estate agents who do this, and I think it is an interesting way forward. They were also able to keep this all-in price very low. It is a new approach to the industry, rather than sticking to the established norms.
Mov8 were always curteous and polite on the phone, I never had to wait to speak to anyone, and they spoke like normal people rather than salesmen. I also did not feel pressured. When they came round to do the initial meeting, they didn’t chase after me or do the hard sell. The same cannot be said of other estate agents. Again this could be down to them offering their service as a fixed price rather than a percentage of sale.
The property brochures that Mov8 produce are clear and to the point.
During the sale of the property, Mov8 were also able to sort out a couple of things for me, even though it was not a requirement of the contract. But it is those little things that often count.
Where there were issues, as there always are with selling a property, Mov8 did what they could to resolve these.
We had lots and lots of interest from buyers, and many viewings, which was nice, though we didn’t get a firm offer until we dropped the price a bit. I think maybe the valuation was a little high. In the end though we were happy with the offer we got, and the sale went through fine.
They say buying/selling property can be one of the most stressful experiences that a person can have, but Mov8 helped make things relatively easy and painless.

Thanks to Paul(our advisor from Mov8), we were able to familiarise ourselves with the different areas of Edinburgh. He provided us with valuable advice on the different areas and the property that was best suited for our needs. We found many estate agents reluctant to do so and was only interested to assist us in making an offer. MOV8 was different.

Both were extremely professional and kept us very well informed. Always got the sense that both were doing their utmost on our behalf. Would highly recommend using Mov8. You should be aware that the legal aspect to conveyancing (which Mov8 pass to McVey & Murricane) is quite hands off and can be quiet at times but for the fee, represents good value for money and actually the fact that communication during that part was dealt with via email alone suited us well. The sale went without hitch. Really pleased.... Read more

Chosen them after reading the reviews from their previous customers and felt obliged to describe my own experience for the benefit of others.
In a nutshell very professional and friendly service. Their business model is slightly different than the traditional estate agents, I guess to keep the costs to a minimum. It's more like a factory production line where individual staff/teams are dedicated to do a specific job. This would mean that it can increase their efficiency as a company but on the client's side this might result in an experience which may not be entirely personalised.
Nevertheless, a progressive and forward thinking company which make very good and efficient use of the modern technology to boost up their business and also have a good database of potential buyers/investors which is useful if one is looking to sell their property more quickly.... Read more

We've just completed our house sale and purchase, using Mov8 (and their partners for the conveyancing side, McVey and Murricane) and I have nothing but absolute praise for both. Mov 8 were fantastic throughout the process - professional, friendly, approachable and ULTRA efficient! Phone calls and emails were answered quickly and I really felt that each member of staff I spoke to was taking personal resposibility for answering any queries I had. I received regular detailed emails letting me know what to expect at each stage of the process and I had total confidence throughout the process that our house purchase and sale were in the safest hands. Every step of the way Mov 8 were clear, easy to work with and attentive. I felt I got fantastic value for money, paying a low fixed fee with no hidden extra charges but most importantly, I got piece of mind! I fear I may start ranting on about this but I really can't stress highly enough how fantastic the whole team at Mov 8 were and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.... Read more

Used Mov8 to purchase my first house, they were excellent!
After initially enquiring about their services, I received an email with a quote detailing the breakdown of all costs and a 'client guide' explaining everything I could ever need to know about buying a house.
Once I had decided on a property I telephoned Mov8 and was advised on the best course of action. I was kept up to date with regular phone calls and emails and Mov8 secured the property quickly and easily and for below asking price. I would recommend Mov8 to any purchaser, and with such great service they will be our first port of call if we decide to sell!... Read more

Very helpful and dedicated service. Always kept up-to date with the details of my purchase. All costs were very fair and up front. I couldn't have asked for a better agent when purchasing my first house. 1 slight disappointment my wife didn't receive her home box when we moved in. But no big deal. Would defiantly recommend and use again.... Read more

Costs clearly presented and broken down upfront. Fast and efficient valuation and survey, some minor problems with content and printing of brochures but property sold and exchanged within 3 months, can't argue with that... Overall a great service at a good price.... Read more

Mov8 has been excellent. They send you timely information as to what to do next.
They keep you informed and Susan in sales and James in purchasing have been first class.
I would not hesitate to recommend them and have already done so many times... Read more

I was delighted with the service I recieved from Mov8. I would give them 10 out of 10 for customer service and attention to detail. They got my brochure up and running in no time, had excellent photos taken and undertook viewings for me. My flat sold in 8 weeks. Many thanks to them for all their help.... Read more

Good service, at by far the best price of any Edinburgh estate agents we contacted. A different system of communication to other estate agents I have used before but worked for us. I would use this company again.... Read more

Used them to sell our property and found them very helpful. It took a long time to sell as the market was slow but the company were always looking at ways to promote properties. I liked the fact they charged a standard fee no matter what property they are selling.
They quoted a lower figure for one aspect of the serve and stuck to it even though it was a mistake. A great example of integrity.
The quality of signs, schedules etc was to a very high standard and the solicitors they used were very professional. All together a great company and believe they will continue to grow.... Read more

A great service at an affordable price.
We weren't 100% sure if we should sell in the current climate so decided to go with Mov8 due to the fixed fee so we knew exactly what we were paying and would not end up paying over the odds for marketing our property. Although you do end up having to pay over double this up-front for ESPC, home report etc, this is all laid out in the initial valuation visit and we were provided with a simple cost break-down so we knew exactly what we were paying before we agreed to continue (maybe good to point out the other estate agents we contacted also had these additional charges but the initial estate agency fee was higher before any of this was even added on!).
All marketing material was excellent, brochures, photos etc and we sold in 4 1/2 months, which we were very surprised at considering a similar house on the same estate has been on the market for 5 years with a different estate agent!
I have to admit that we did have to be a bit proactive on our side and chase up Mov8 for a couple of things but having spoken to friends marketing through other estate agents, their experience was no different and they were paying a lot more! Also £600 is for the basic package and if you would like anything more, any additional service is charged for but if you don't want to pay over the odds, you can't expect a top-end quality service.
Basically, you get what you pay for - if you would like a top-end quality service you have to pay a top-end quality price. The negative reviews here are clearly clients looking to spend as little money as possible but still have the same service as an expensive estate agent. This just doesn't happen!
All in all, we were very pleased with Mov8. They are 100% value-for-money at the expensive time of selling a property and we would definitely use again and recommend to anyone wanting to sell their house on a budget.
NB Review from a client completely independent from Mov8!... 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
