KPIs Based on RightMove figures, on average we sell properties in half the time it takes a conventional singleagent approach - and that’s achieving full market value. Our Power BI software allows us to monitor the performance of all the Part Exchange and Assisted Move properties relating to each of your sites, reporting to you whenever you want.
Our Regional Offices People do business with people because they choose to - not because they have to. We can often find others providing the same services, but it’s the personal connection that makes the difference. We are the only provider that has three regional offices - located in Colchester, Manchester and Taunton. We are a local business dealing with local people.

What is Part Exchange? The value of your buyer’s existing property is put towards the purchase of the new one and they pay

the balance to you on completion. Once the Part Exchange property is sold, the funds go straight to the housebuilder. Conventional Part Exchange deals require a minimum 30% uplift between the value of the PX home and the value of the new one, so it hinges on both parties agreeing the price of the new house and the value of the old one. To keep financial risk to a minimum, it is vital that the valuations are fair and realistic and that the property is sold promptly - which is where Moving Made Easy comes in.

Arrange a Valuation The first step we take is to prepare a Property Valuation Appraisal. Produced by senior staff members with many years of practical valuation experience, the Appraisal will make recommendations on what we believe the market value of the property is and will detail all the information and advice that was taken into consideration to determine the proposed figure.
We use only the most relevant and effective Estate Agents in each area. The detailed property valuation forms they complete on our behalf provide us with invaluable information about the property and the local area. We also take a close look at similar properties recently sold or for sale in the immediate vicinity and

Testimonials
❝
I had a great service experience with Moving Made Easy. They handled my case with professionalism
and care and put me in contact with all the right service providers securing me unbeatable prices and reliability. They picked up my queries immediately making me feel at ease and well looked after with regards to my mortgage. I would definitely recommend to friends and family alike.

Thank you so much! We can’t believe it! Had a lovely chat with our sales rep on key collection and
thanked her (in the form of a bottle of fizz!) for all her hard work and perseverance with the sale. I can’t imagine how stressful it’s been for her. From the bottom of our hearts, we can’t thank you enough for the work you and your team have put into this sale/purchase. Although it’s tested us and been the most stressful time of our lives, we wouldn’t have got to this point without MME’s persistence, hard work and general enthusiasm and efforts to propel it forward.

The ‘Team’ that worked with us (my wife and I) were excellent. They always kept a dedicated staff

I cannot commend MME enough. They have been absolutely pivotal during our move, and at times went
above and beyond. Without MME, the move wouldn’t have gone quite as smoothly as it did. They had to deal with a rather complicated chain, and did so with such professionalism. We cannot recommend MME enough, they have taken a lot of the stress of moving, and more. We cannot thank them enough.

We have today exchanged contracts on our first ever house and I truly believe the experience has been
made so much smoother by MME. They were instructed by the seller but they have answered my queries quickly, with confidence and with enthusiasm. They have guided us through the process seamlessly and even phoned today to say congratulations on exchanging which was a lovely touch as it is a real milestone in life, finally getting on the property ladder. Thank you for everything you have done for us, we will be eternally grateful you helped us get our first home.
