I had a really positive experience with Direct Moves from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and made the whole process feel smooth and straightforward. They were always quick to answer any questions I had and kept me well informed throughout. A special thank you to Michael for taking the time to show me around the flats. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the viewings relaxed and informative, which I really appreciated as a buyer. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend Direct Moves to others.

Just about to purchase a property and needed a 2nd viewing. Georgia attended and we were extremely impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of the property. She was able to fill in a lot of the unknowns we had about the property and went out of her way to find out any further questions we had. This certainly secured the sale and we cant be more pleased with our purchase. Thank you Georgia and the rest of the team who made this experience very easy going for us.

Georgia was an excellent agent who went above and beyond to accommodate what we were looking for. She got on the phone to arrange other viewings at short notice. Georgia is approachable, friendly and the right amount of pushy!!!! We need more agents like Georgia who go the extra mile for their customers. Having met with 4 other agent this weekend, I can absolutely state that she was by far the best.

Five Star reviews don't come as easily as this one. Barry was attentive, helpful and reassuring in our quest for a new home. Never pushy, never overbearing, just witty, enthusiastic and always respectful of our mission. Unbelievably, we ended up moving house without Direct Moves, but that shouldn't deter anyone from using this local Estate Agents, as they will help right until that final box is packed! Thank you DM!

Direct Moves were a joy to deal with. It can be quite daunting to buy a new property, however, Barry made the process easy for me and put my mind at ease fully. The understanding of my financial limitations mixed with my determination to gain the property I was after was fully appreciated. The process was also dealt with quickly and with friendly banter, making me not have any worries about any of the stages of negotiation. Well done 👍 Will definitely recommend you to my friends.

Georgia Elliott is charismatic, cheery, very well informed individual, and happy to help in anyway she can. Kept me up to date with our upcoming appointment, touched base the following week after the viewing to see my thoughts on the property. Would highly recommend and a very professional young woman in the real estate sector.

I sold my house through Direct Moves and had a genuinely great experience. Emma and Barry were fantastic from day one - always easy to reach, always honest, and they kept me updated without me ever having to chase. They handled a couple of …

Generally I prefer to stick to the positive reviews, but I think it’s only fair to share my experience. I’ve kept this to Google to ensure it sits within a broader range of feedback, as I’m conscious of not unfairly influencing platforms with only a small number of reviews. My intention is to offer transparency not to damage reputation. I was initially encouraged by the company’s claim of having “decades of property sales experience,” as local knowledge and professionalism were important factors for me but ultimately, I experienced what can only be described as a “heritage” approach to estate agency. A true throwback that I can only assume peaked somewhere between the late 90s and early 2000s… judging by the reliance on handwritten scraps of paper to record important details. A bold choice in 2026. The valuation process was, well… enlightening. Despite claiming strong local knowledge, I was quoted initially £350k for a property in Council Tax Band E, in an area where comparable homes are sitting between £420k and £600k (with recent sales around £525k). My face obviously did the talking as when I queried this it was raised to £375k with a need to review it after 4 weeks. I didn’t however feel there was a particularly clear or confident rationale behind the figure, just a vague sense that this was “about right.” Reassuring. Needless to say, I didn’t come away with a clear sense of how my property would be actively positioned or sold. There appeared to be an assumption it would largely sell itself, to be fair at that price point it probably would, however in all seriousness, there was no real indication of proactive buyer engagement or use of local knowledge around schools, transport links, or amenities. I’m glad I opted not to sign on the dotted line as it were, or who knows multi-part carbon paper. For context, I have since received an offer of £425k from another agent prior to going to market, which does raise questions about the original valuation. On a positive note, the fees are competitive, however, my experience suggests there may be a reason for that. All in all, a fascinating opportunity to experience both ends of the estate agent spectrum. I just hadn’t expected to get the “worst” quite so vividly.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Direct Moves Estate Agents, and I must say that the experience was exceptional. I'd like to extend a special mention to Aidan and Emma, who went above and beyond in assisting with the sale of my property. Throughout the entire process, they both exhibited a high level of professionalism, explaining all the details clearly and keeping me informed at every stage. Their consistent and effective communication made the selling process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Direct Moves Estate Agents.

We’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Georgia on several occasions now, and she has been fantastic every time. She’s always smiling, very bubbly, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and her positive attitude really makes a difference. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly and professional estate agent.

Had the pleasure of having Georgia show me around potential properties today. She made me feel like I was getting the star treatment, nothing was too much trouble for her. Georgia didn’t rush me between viewings and gave me her full attention, time, and knowledge throughout. In my opinion, Georgia is an outstanding asset to Direct Moves. They’re lucky to have such a professional, friendly, and dedicated sales agent on their team.

An efficient process from beginning to end. The staff inspired confidence at every stage; they are full of enthusiasm, knowledgeable and friendly. The advice they gave on the sale of our house proved very good. Overall they gave us confidence that the marketing and sale of our house was in good hands. Jonathan and Aidan deserve particular praise. We had an offer, which we accepted, Jonathan having negotiated a significant increase in the buyer's initial bid, within 10 days of the house going on the market. I would recommend Direct Moves to anyone buying or selling in the Weymouth area.

The guys at Direct Moves were fantastic! Barry was charming and gave us sound advice on how to best prepare our house for sales. They arranged an open day for viewings and we achieved £40k more than our asking price! They were so good with liaising between us, solicitors and buyers and made the sale of our property so comfortable and speedy. I would highly recommend Direct Moves to anyone I know.

Direct Moves have been great in our recent house sale. We had a challenging property to sell, and were let down badly by our first estate agent who did very little to keep the sale going. We switched to Direct Moves and Emma was on to it straight away getting viewings and offers very quickly, always responsive to questions and pushed the chain along to completion. We only wish we had chosen Direct Moves from the start. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Wonderfully helpful and friendly. Most importantly when we had issues with our move Emma was on hand to move things along, even when it wasn’t her responsibility to do so. Barry was a fantastic and reassuring first contact with the business and both valuations we had from him were pretty much spot on. Ryan, Aidan and Ricky were always on hand and happy to provide updates, knowing all the details of our case off hand. If we were to move again we would use Direct Moves without a second thought.

Excellent. Emma and the team went above and beyond to get our house sale through. There were problems with the solicitors further down the chain, and Emma was very persistent in getting it sorted out for us. Obviously we were more than happy as we also got a sale at a very good price. Aiden followed up every phone call we made to the office and got back to us as promised. All in all a Happy Andy Miles.

Absolutely fantastic team. We had a very complicated sale and purchase but the team went above and beyond to get the deal done! We have now moved house in Weymouth four times with Direct Moves and I would highly recommend them. A big thank you to Barry. Emma and the whole Weymouth branch. Best agent in Weymouth by a long shot!

Emma and the team worked so hard in selling what turned out to be a somewhat tricky property for me. I can't thank them enough for their support and perseverance. They're a professional, friendly and knowledgeable team and I don't hesitate to recommend Direct Moves.

This is the first time I’ve used an estate agent to purchase a property and I feel very lucky that it happened to be Direct Moves. Aidan, being my main contact, was very helpful... He took his time listen to my questions and answered them promptly and informatively. Fingers crossed for my completion. Hopefully, I won’t have to use an estate agent again, but if I did, Direct Moves would be my preferred choice. Thank you Aidan and Team.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
