About YOURMOVEPROPERTY
Why We Started
We believe that selling your home should be an empowering experience, not a burdensome one. Our journey began with a vision to change the way private property sellers navigate the property market. Traditional estate agents often impose hefty commission fees, which can add significant costs to the selling process. We wanted to change that narrative.
Our mission is to provide private sellers with more options, flexibility, and control over their property sales. We recognised the need for a service that blends the convenience of professional support with the autonomy of self-selling. That’s why we created YOURMOVEPROPERTY – a unique platform that allows you to sell your property on your terms, and with full transparency.
What Makes Us Different?
With YOURMOVEPROPERTY, private sellers enjoy the best of both worlds. Our optimised website allows you to list your property easily, ensuring maximum visibility to potential buyers. Not only do we provide you with an effective online platform, but we also offer the opportunity to list your property on the major popular portal ‘OnTheMarket.com,’ expanding your reach even further.
A Fresh Approach to Selling
Our innovative model is designed to support private sellers across Scotland with a fresh and unique approach to property sales. We’re not just an alternative to traditional estate agents; we’re a partner in your selling journey.

What about my property description, is this important?
Yes, the property description is a vital element in marketing your home. A well-written property description provides potential buyers with essential information about your property, highlighting its unique features, amenities, and any upgrades that set it apart from other properties on the market.
The ‘Content Writing Service’ is included in your package, YOURMOVEPROPERTY will professionally write your property description content from the information you supply.
An effective property description should evoke a sense of lifestyle, helping buyers envision themselves living in the space. It should include key details such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the style of the home, notable features (like a newly renovated kitchen or a spacious garden), and the benefits of the location (such as proximity to schools, parks or shopping etc).
Overall, an engaging and informative property description can capture the interest of buyers and encourage them to schedule a viewing, making it a crucial component of your home-selling strategy.
Are photos and a floor plan important for selling my home?
Yes, high-quality photos and a floor plan are important when it comes to selling your property. Most people have smart phones these days and can take great photos of their own property at their own convenience. There is nothing worse than arranging to have your photos undertaken and then having to re schedule due to rain! If you can take your own photos and save time and money, then why not.
Professional photographs showcase your property in the best possible light, highlighting its features and attracting potential buyers. They help create a positive first impression and can significantly increase interest in your listing.
A well-crafted floor plan provides buyers with a clear understanding of the space and layout, allowing them to visualise how the home might work for their needs prior to viewing. Together, compelling visuals and an informative floor plan can enhance your listing’s appeal, leading to more viewings and potentially a quicker sale.
We include professional Photography and a Floor Plan creation service in your package, however you can do this yourself, further reducing costs.
Can I provide my own photos and write my own property description?
Yes you can. We believe in flexibility, so if you’re interested in reducing your listing cost even further, you can take the reins by providing your own photos and writing your own property description, at your own convenience.
Do I get a FOR SALE board for outside my property?
Yes – you will receive a “FOR SALE” sign to showcase outside your property. This sign acts as a powerful marketing tool, enhancing visibility and drawing the attention of potential buyers in your vicinity. It includes vital information and prompts inquiries or viewing appointments. A well-placed “FOR SALE” sign can greatly boost interest in your listing and contribute to a faster sale. We will deliver and install your property sign for you. Our signs also feature a reversible slip card, allowing you to display either “FOR SALE” or “SOLD.”
Are there any hidden fees, additional costs or commission when I sell?
No. When you sell your home with YOURMOVEPROPERTY, you can rest assured that there are no hidden fees or additional costs. The only charge you will encounter is the fee for our Flex-Plus Property Listing Package. Importantly, we operate a 0% commission policy, which sets us apart from traditional estate agents who typically charge between 0.5% and 1.5% of your property’s selling price in commission.

Home Report
What is a Home Report?
What is a Home Report? The Home Report was introduced in Scotland in December 2008, it’s a legal document required for residential properties being sold in Scotland, and is designed to give you and potential buyers a clear understanding of your property’s condition and market value. Your Home Report is made available for prospective buyers for the duration that your property is for sale and includes four key sections:
1. Single Survey: A detailed evaluation of the property’s condition, highlighting any significant issues and repairs needed.
2. Energy Report: An Energy Efficiency Rating that assesses the environmental performance of your property.
3. Mortgage Valuation Certificate: An assessment of the property’s market value for lending purposes, required by mortgage lenders to ensure the property is worth the amount being borrowed.
4. Property Questionnaire: A questionnaire completed by the seller, providing essential information about the property and its ownership.
Your Home Report helps you set an appropriate asking price for the sale of your property. Setting the right asking price for your property can be one of the most critical factors in successfully selling your home. Depending on local property market conditions and the overall state of demand in your area, generally, it is good practice to set your asking price at £5,000 to 10,000 below home report valuation.
Add-On: Remember, you can add this optional service to the Flex-Plus package.
What happens if I have my own Home Report?
Perfect, not a problem, you can simply upload your Home Report (PDF) as part of your property listing. Our optional Home Report service is for those that are looking to change their surveyor because they are expensive etc. Read more about our Home Report services and costs.
I don't have a Home Report yet, can you do this for me?
Yes – if you don’t have a Home Report organised yet, we can arrange this for you. We provide the Home Report services of a locally based firm of chartered and certified property surveyors, streamlining your property sales process to ensure it’s simple, efficient and affordable.
Your Home Report is prepared by a Chartered Surveyor who is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and a registered property valuer. The firm is a well established Scottish based company, who are on the lenders panels and provide everything that is legally required to sell a property in Scotland, as stipulated by the Scottish Government.
How long does it take you to undertake a Home Report?
Our Mission is to provide the best service in Scotland and, in order to accommodate our customer’s busy lives, that means that we don’t work regular hours. It also means that we aim to deliver your Home Report draft within 2 working days of undertaking the home survey, and an additional day to finalise the report.
Can my Home Report be easily downloaded from my property listing?
Absolutely! Prospective buyers can effortlessly view and download your Home Report online directly from your property listing. This offers a significant advantage, as many East Agents require you to request this information, which can be time-consuming and less convenient.
Solicitor
What is Property Conveyancing?
Property conveyancing is the legal process involved in transferring ownership of a property from one party to another. This intricate process consists of several vital steps, including property searches, drafting and exchanging contracts, and registering the transfer with the Land Registry. Having a qualified professional on your side—be it a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer—is crucial in navigating these complexities, ensuring all legal requirements are satisfied, and protecting the interests of both the buyer and seller.
What happens if I have my own Solicitor?
Perfect, no problem at all, you can simply work with your solicitor for the sale of your property. Our optional service is for those that are looking to change their solicitor because they are expensive, or for those that don’t already have a conveyancing solicitor.
I don't currently have a solicitor, can you help?

Do I need a Solicitor to sell my property?
When selling a property, you are not legally required to hire a solicitor, but it is highly advisable to do so. Here are some reasons why employing a solicitor or licensed conveyancer is beneficial when selling your property:
1. Legal Expertise – Selling a property involves complex legal procedures. A qualified solicitor or conveyancer will understand the intricacies of property law and ensure that all legal requirements are met.
2. Drafting Contracts – A solicitor will prepare the sale contract and ensure it includes all necessary details to protect your interests. They will also handle the exchange of contracts, which is a critical step in the selling process.
3. Property Searches – They will conduct necessary property searches to identify any potential issues with the property, such as boundary disputes or local planning restrictions, which could affect the sale.
4. Negotiation Support – A solicitor can assist with negotiations, helping to facilitate communication between you and the buyer or their representatives, potentially averting conflicts and misunderstandings.
5. Land Registry and Compliance – Once the sale is complete, your solicitor will ensure that the change of ownership is correctly registered with the Land Registry, which is vital for legal recognition of the transaction.
6. Protect Your Interests – Solicitors can advise on legal obligations and liabilities, helping to protect you from potential pitfalls during the selling process.
While it’s possible to sell your property without a solicitor, doing so can expose you to risks and complications that may arise during the process. Engaging an experienced solicitor ensures that you navigate the sale smoothly, adhere to all legal requirements, and protect your rights as a seller.
