From start to finish Mov8 have made the selling experience so easy and comfortable, Tony and Jillian and the team were great and gave me all the information I needed through each step. I still can't believe my flat sold within 1 week!! Can't thank the team enough for all their help along the way. Would recommend to anyone looking to sell in the future.

Great service

We had an excellent experience of using Mov8 to sell our flat in Leith, Edinburgh. They responded really promptly to any questions, were very efficient in setting up viewings and were very helpful all round. Our negotiator Rachel was in regular contact and great at explaining our options and what will happen next. We were very happy with the marketing materials produced as they really presented our flat well.

Our agent Leah Mcgibbon was first class. Communication was clear and concise at all times. Always on hand to speak or sending prompt email replies. A lovely girl to talk to and kept calm at all times. Went extra mile on moving day to help get our deal done by using her iniative and skills.

My experience working with Mov8 and Courtney in particular was excellent.As a first time buyer I appreciated how simple the process was.Courtney was quick to respond, friendly and very helpful.Hopefully I don't need to endure the bother of arranging another mortgage in the future but if I did I would use Mov8.

Excellent Experience

After many viewings, notes of interest and offers myself and partner have finally had an offer accepted on a property thanks in no small part to Jan at mov8. Throughout this process Jan has been there to guide us through all and has made the process hassle free. Could not have asked for better support.

Can’t praise highly enough

Great experience with this solicitor, after being badly let down by our previous solicitor Mov8 picked this up with only a week to completion and moved mountains to get the deals completed. Tracy and her team kept me informed answered all of my questions and finished the transaction all on the required dates. Would highly recommend using Mov8 they were great to deal with.

What a fantastic experience

Cannot fault the service enough from Mov8, they took over our case at very short notice after horrendous service from another firm. Tracy and her team went above and beyond to ensure our house sale and purchase completed within time. Cannot praise them enough.

I was lucky to be given Alan Craig to oversee my sale. He was helpful, efficient and extremely prompt to reply to any queries,even on Sundays. All other aspects of my move have been pretty stressful so to know Alan was on the ball was a great comfort. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Amazing Company

Mov8- Alan Craig handled my purchase.I would highly recommend this company. Alan was always at the end of a phone or replied to an email immediately even on a Saturday or after business hours. All I can say he was amazing!!! Put my mind at ease while purchasing a house.Thanks Alan Craig.

Inept conveyancing - stopping purchase of flat in Edinburgh

I am purchasing a flat in Edinburgh, due for completion on 25 July 2025. The elderly seller is represented by this firm. She had the property surveyed for sale in mid March, marketed via MOV8's estate agency....and I offered in late May. Sale agreed early June and the seller wanted early completion. I am a cash buyer / no chain/ no mortgage. However, I have commitments so we agreed 25 July, 7 weeks to complete the sale. MOV8's solicitor, after being pushed, sent most documents to my solicitor. They could have obtained all documents months ago. However, with 10 days to go, we still await a final essential report with no certainty, as they clearly had not ordered it (takes just a few days, says my solicitor). My removal, utilities takeover, redecoration and other plans are now completely stalled, unnecessarily. As buyer, I am not allowed entry to measure up (or photograph the de-energised meter with the meter number and a reading which the seller's utility company requires before agreeing re-connection. Only the seller can do it and only with the de-energising supplier. Then they need an engineer appointment to physically reinstate it. This might take weeks). So, at best, I would have no electricity. So, I couldn't check all is working in the permitted 5 days. Nor could I do anything such as carpet cleaning, use lights to redecorate by, have power for my carpenter's tools, etc. to make the place ready before my removal company moves me in. I only found out about this latest problem today. The seller and her solicitor did not tell us. All avoidable, had MOV8 done a professional, timely, responsive job (possibly including managing their client). Completion on 25 July now looks dubious. The recent trend to exchange a few days before completion is a stressful - but entirely avoidable and a reprehensible Just-In-Time approach which s frustrates the purchaser, wastes their time and puts the whole transaction at risk. It should be avoided by conveyancing solicitors. As a professional myself, I dislike complaining about other professionals however, I pride myself on taking stress away from clients, anticipating problems, and managing assignments to be smooth and trouble-free. This firm had every opportunity over 7 weeks to make the process smooth - but did not.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service from start to finish. We found everybody in the team extremely helpful in quickly dealing with all our queries. We worked mainly with Louise who couldn’t have done more to aid with the sale of our property, all with a friendly and professional manner, while Scott was also able to give us excellent advice. Thank you to everyone for making a stressful time more bearable!

Everyone with the exception of one rude lady, has been very helpful and clear in explaining things to me. I chose to use Mov8 to act for me and they are also acting for the people selling the house we are buying. This has caused me a little confusion as there are so many different departments, but we are getting there. Robbie was very helpful helping me sell.

Easily the best Estate Agent in Edinburgh! Fixed upfront prices that were lower than we expected, excellent professional service and great technology for appointments and feedback etc. The brochure and photographs were superb and the partners they use for the home report were excellent with a quick turn around time. Finally, Ellen and Rachel were superb to deal with throughout the sale. All in all, thoroughly recommended.

Great conveyancing first house purchase

Great conveyancing service during our first house purchase. The process was smooth and fairly quick. We’d benefit from regular weekly updates as sometimes the update was only given when we asked for it. We have worked with Alan Craig and all was smooth otherwise - thank you!

Stress free experience

From first contact with MOV8 , the customer service has been excellent. Dealing with MOV8 has been stress free as all communication and help has been easy to understand and to an exceptional standard. From getting the house on the market through to an accepted offer after a few days . Jillian has been wonderful during viewing appointment set up and negotiations.

Great Support over Email

Liked the way i was kept informed about the process over email & phone. Probably could have been better with online portal, it wasn’t very user friendly. Everything happens over email & phone, and you may need to follow up on things (a trait seen with all solicitors though). All ended well though to my delight on being first time home owner.

Exceptional service from Ben Ginn

Exceptional service from Ben Ginn and his team. Clear and prompt communication all the way through the sale process and when things became difficult and complicated he did the best he could to manage the situation and push things forward. Ben went above and beyond to make things happen and he was always there to get advice when we needed him.
