Move Residential have been very attentive in and proactive in the sale of my house, and in helping me buy a new house. The guys in the sales office are all lovely and easy to contact. Jenni Mitchell (after sales team/house move facilitator extraordinaire!!) is the person you want to manage your sale/purchase.

TrustpilotTenants beware!
My experience with this agency is regarding a tenancy agreement in which I am the tenant. Customer service is not good from the start, being the tenant, probably because of profit motive, I have a strong feeling that they are overwhelmingly protective of the landlord's interests. Some basic information are part and partial, as a result, costing unnecessary high utility bills. I think rental management may not be their main income source and the tenants are at the bottom of the pile. Where is the revenue, without tenants or why not do away with this rental management business.I won't consider using it when I look for a place to buy.Follow-up:This agency called me asking me to take this review down or revise without admitting their problem.I have asked for opinion from Reddit, if talking about obligations, the agency could just told me to handle everything by myself, and I would have sort it out by myself including the installation and the subsequent payments.But instead they have tried to provide part and partial information leading me to believe that it is their job to handle the utilities arrangement. It is all unnecessary if they have either been professional enough.The worst is when they claim they have sent me a email they haven't even checked the record to verify.

Hi Ruth,Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience. We appreciate the opportunity to review, reflect and improve on our services.We are sorry and saddened to hear that you have been having some difficulties regarding your recent tenancy. Our team has been in touch to resolve any miscommunication. The issue at stake concerns solely your water bill: as a tenant, you have signed a contract with your landlord outlining that you are indeed responsible for payment of the water bill, regardless of whether the bill is unmetered, calculated as a set rate decided on your home's rateable value or on a meter.We understand how important clear information is when making a big decision like renting a home. This is why we always take the time to help our tenants when reading through their tenancy agreements; it is so important that all areas of responsibility are clarified.As with most properties, your monthly rent does not include utility bills such as gas, electricity, or water; these are all services provided by external organisations.Rental contracts are designed to protect both the tenant and landlord’s interests and clearly set out each party's legal and contractual obligations. The tenant agrees to pay the ongoing costs of energy consumed by the tenant at the property and there is no profit realised by the landlord nor the agent as these services are always provided by independent suppliers.We hope this has clarified the situation for you.If you would like to discuss any of the issues raised further, please don’t hesitate to get back in touch with us. We wish you all the best with your tenancy.Kind regards,Move Residential

TrustpilotPoor/mixed experience overall but friendly staff
I had a mixed experience of Move Residential. Several times I left messages and no-one called me back, which led to a long delay in progressing the purchase of a house. They also said they'd relayed some information to me which they hadn't. I think they were very busy at that time with staffing issues but it was very frustrating. When we viewed the property for a second time we were unable to gain access to a specific area that we had requested access to in advance and the surveyor was also unable to gain access to (again we did ask for access during the survey). When I did manage to speak to staff the service was usually helpful, polite and friendly. But ultimately, I was frustrated by the experience as a whole and would not use them again.

TrustpilotHaving dealt with a number of different…
Having dealt with a number of different rental agencies around the country, I can honestly say these are by the far the worst I have ever had the misfortune to come across, and I have come across many. Behind the charade of faux politeness is sheer incompetent two-facedness. Incompetent because they frequently showed a misunderstanding of how the deposit system works, and two-faced because they'll say anything to placate you to get you off the phone.My story: having claimed a deposit back from the DPS in mid November 2020, I heard nothing from either Move or the LL for two weeks. Upon contacting Move by email and phone a number of times to chase this up, it became apparent that they had simply not bothered to action it (the DPS assured me the automated request had been sent to Move). No apologies at this point from anyone. A few conversations later and I was assured that the agency had reached out to the LL for comment about the claim. It is at this point I spent probably the best £10 I've spent in a while getting a statutory declaration witnessed for a single claim. If you are having trouble with Move not acting with any kind of urgency, I strongly advise this as a course of action.A month down the line, the (equally inept) LL disputed the claim and demanded damages, apparently undeterred by having no record of the property condition at check-in or check-out.Now this is where it gets interesting. Not wanting anything further to do with the matter, Move claimed they had no responsibility for managing disputes, despite being the named party on the deposit in the DPS system, and that I'd have to resolve it with the LL. This realisation comes over a month later from the initial claim. A month and several hours of my time.To formally attempt to shirk any responsibility, they later request that I remove my single claim so that the deposit can be moved to the LL's personal DPS account, apparently oblivious to the fact that this would've reset the timeline back to day zero when the claim was first made, and force me to wait, like previously, for whenever the LL decided they wanted to fulfil their obligation as a respectable landlord, possibly taking another month (mandatory 14 days + statutory claim period). Why now? Why not when it became apparent weeks before that there was a dispute? I refuse, although I wouldn't have had that an an option if I hadn't had filed the single claim. Best. £10. Ever.I received my deposit back today, two months after I left the tenancy. No apologies, nothing. Probably won't recover the brain cells used talking to these jokers though.TL;DR don't do it - use another agency.In response to reply:- "which led to a dispute which was resolved using the DPS arbitration service". It wasn't mediated by the DPS. The LL rejected use of the DPS arbitration service. I had to file a LoI to get my money back.- "..providing you with a further copy of your tenancy agreement". I rang up and requested this to be told I would be emailed it after the call. I did not receive it, and no, it didn't go in my junk. It took me a little under 2 months and a lot of stress to get my deposit back. Two weeks of that was owing to you failing to even inform the LL that the deposit had been requested back in the DPS online portal. I didn't get an apology at the time for that either, just an acknowledgement.I don't have anything further to say to your lettings office, only that if you had wanted to show some degree of care about this complaint you probably would have called me. Says it all really. "You ring us".

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback; it is valuable to have the opportunity to reflect on ways to constantly improve. We would like to apologise if you feel you have had a less than positive experience as we always work hard to provide the best possible service. Having looked at the history on file, we can see that we advertised the property you lived in on a tenant find only basis for your landlord. We actively protected your deposit for you in a government backed scheme to ensure both legal compliance and that your interests were protected and provided you with details of the deposit scheme, prescribed information and deposit scheme terms and conditions at the beginning of your tenancy agreement, so you had a comprehensive understanding of the process and where your deposit was held.Your landlord made the decision to manage the tenancy personally, with direct contact with yourself, so we were not involved in any way with your check out inspection or deposit dispute. Unfortunately, we are aware that you and your landlord had a different prospective on how the property condition was left at the end of the tenancy which led to a dispute which was resolved using the DPS arbitration service. Our records reflect that the team tried to support you with the process as far as possible, prompting your landlord to engage with you directly and providing you with a further copy of your tenancy agreement and details on the deposit scheme however we had no input in the decision making process or associated timeframe.Move Residential provide a detailed third-party inventory when we are managing a property and complete a detailed check out report against this when a tenant vacates to ensure that there is clear evidence of any points of difference to support any claim that is made. In this case your landlord did not opt for this comprehensive service.We have passed your review to our lettings office as this platform is for our sales department, however if you would like to get in touch with our dedicated lettings and property management team on 0151 734 6688 they would be more than happy to talk to you about your experience personally. Many Thanks

TrustpilotTerrible Customer Service
We applied for a property to rent in November with a move in date of 15th December. We paid our deposit to secure the property and started our preparations to move.We still haven't moved in.The landlord/owner is still in the property as there is a problem with the property she wants to move in to. I have to phone repeatedly to get a response from the lettings team, they are doing nothing to keep me informed. They constantly tell me they'll call back but I have to chase again to get a response. Dreadful customer service, they don't seem to care that we are a customer left in limbo and just give empty promises.

All the guys in the heswall office have been fantastic, I cannot thank them enough for the way they handled the whole process. I always found the whole team friendly and accommodating. Jenny in completions has been a revelation. We were in a complex chain of 5 and were beseeched with solicitor issues.

TrustpilotWould not recommend at all based on my parents experience
The estate agents did virtually nothing for their money as they only showed round one viewer. My elderly parents were verbally told 0.75% but were then charged 1%. On the contact the % part was crossed out but the estate agent claimed (when my parents queried the fee once the house sold) that the line was a “1” at a steep angle, not a crossing out. My 81 year old mother felt threatened into paying after threats of her being persued for interest. We are investigating options around challenging this via the ombudsman. Essentially my parents experience was that the estate agents were friendly until the dispute about the fee and were then very unpleasant.

Dear Mrs Rowbottom,Thank you for posting your comments.We always welcome feedback as it not only helps us to better our service, but it also makes us stronger as a company. However, in this case, I am left with no option but to defend the integrity of our company and my staff as your comments do not represent the facts of your parents’ transaction. I must address your opening comment, ‘…the estate agents did virtually nothing for their money.’ On 25th July my senior valuer attended a market appraisal appointment at your parents’ house. During the appraisal we advised a marketing price of £550,000. Your parents were surprised at how high our appraisal was as it was above other figures given by our competitors, but we assured them of our confidence in achieving this higher price given the fact that we had just sold a similar house locally. Our fees were not discussed during the appointment as your parents were still deliberating their relocation plans. We left the appointment informing your parents that we had a specific client in mind, who we knew would be interested in viewing, so to please call when ready. Over the course of the weeks that followed, we maintained contact with said client and assured them that if the property became available, then we would prioritise their viewing.A few weeks later your parents contacted us to say that they wished to go ahead and put the property on the market. At this point our valuer revisited their property, ran through our terms and conditions and presented a contract to them at 1% and explained that our fees are in some cases higher than our competitors because we specialise in achieving the best price for our clients, and this is reflected in the fee that is paid. The contract was signed in the house and your parents were happy to proceed. We immediately went back to the client that we had been staying in touch with, and she was keen to view. We advised the client that we had a number of buyers on our books who were interested, and therefore we suggested she viewed without delay. As we suspected, the client was very keen to secure the property, and therefore we suggested that in order to do so, she should offer over the asking price to secure exclusivity. We were able to secure £5,000.00 over the asking price.The sale completed at the end of January. We have been handling this sale for almost 6 months, including communicating with all parties’ solicitors, estate agents and clients within the chain. Your mother contacted our office during the process to complain about the amount of time that it was taking to complete due to an additional related sale being included within the chain. After investigating, the related sale was found not to be holding the sale up as your mother’s enquiries were not fully satisfied at her end. Due to the stress involved for your mother, I personally communicated for a few weeks with her son to ensure that she could focus on her own personal house move. I made calls on my personal mobile number to her son over the course of 2 weeks to ensure that your mother was not disturbed and to ensure that the lines of communication were kept open. Her son was always exceptionally appreciative of the updates.I must go on to also address your comment, ‘My 81 year old mother felt threatened into paying after threats of her being persued for interest.’After completion we received confirmation from your mother’s solicitor that she wasn’t happy with the fees, as she was under the impression that she was being charged 0.75%. I personally called her back to discuss the matter with her and she advised me that she was sure that she had documentation from us quoting 0.75%. I asked her if she could send this to me but she said that she had lost the paperwork. I sent her the signed contract stating 1% and your mother simply said to me that I have a problem with my eye sight if I think that says 1%. She then asked me if I was calling her a liar and asked why I would take the word of a member of staff over her. I took the time to advise your mother that I have worked with this specific valuer for over 7 years and I know him to be one of my most esteemed colleagues; he conducts himself with great integrity in all aspects of both his working and family life; however, it was not a case of choosing whose word I believed, as I held a signed contract for 1%.I then went on to advise your mother that if she was unhappy with the fact that we had achieved £5,000 over her asking price and had worked tirelessly for 6 months to ensure we reached a successful exchange and completion, then she should take the matter up with The Property Ombudsman after following our complaints procedure, however the fee needed to be settled immediately. I was not aggressive, nor was I threatening. Normally my staff would have dealt with your mother’s fee query, however because I had a good relationship with your mother due to our earlier communication, I decided to call her personally as the company owner. To then claim that I was aggressive and threatening because I would not reduce my fee is exceptionally disappointing to hear. I am afraid I simply don’t agree with your comments surrounding this case. From start to finish our company has represented your parents both strongly and fairly, and have achieved over the asking price for their property, all during some of the most testing times that we have ever seen.I am sorry that you and your parents can not see the value in what we have achieved for them, and you have felt the need to publicly voice your opinions. I don’t agree with your points and your review simply does not represent the facts which is why I have taken the time myself as one of the owners of Move Residential to reply to you directly.If you or any of your family wish to discuss the matter further then you all have my personal mobile number which was given to you in good faith during the sale process.I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for choosing us and from everyone at Move Residential we wish your mother and father the very best for the future, and we hope that they are keeping safe during these difficult times. Kind regards,Kevin CrickettDirectorMove Residential
