They deserve 6 stars! Sam and Katie were very helpful from the start right till the end. The team on the whole were very helpful. We had some hiccups in between(e.g HTB redemption etc) and they provided assistance and advice. They explained the entire process of house sales and were very welcoming of questions. Emails and calls were also responded to promptly. The team at Movenowproperties were helpful in providing support with other services such as valuation agents etc. When we received lowball offers – they would advise on waiting for a better offer. We received a very personalised and warm service and I would definitely recommend MoveNowproperties as the sole agents to market your property!

We initially did an online search to find out how much it would cost to sell my mother-in-laws house after she died. We received prices through for a number of estate agencies and the next day Sam called me to introduce MNP. From the outset she was sympathetic and kind bearing in mind the circumstances of the sale and I just felt really comfortable with her. We did speak to a couple of other agencies but did not get the same sense from them. It felt right to go with Sam and we are so glad we did. Sam gave useful advice on whether we should make the house look better presented and we followed her ideas, then did all of the viewings, which were quite a few over a short period of time. She gave us some good professional advice as to which buyer would make the most sense for our circumstances. She was lovely and patient with our buyer and hand held him through the process, keeping us fully informed. She probably had more contact with him than us to be honest and we are really grateful for her support to him as well as to us. If we ever have to sell another property we would not hesitate using MNP again.

From the moment we met Sam, we knew she would sell our property. Having been on the market with another agent and experiencing very poor service, we did some research and found Move Now Properties and were very impressed by the feedback and reviews online. We went to see Sam and immediately became confident in her and her team. Sam is not only a lovely lady, but also an incredibly dedicated sales negotiator. She even negotiated a sale on our property whilst she was on holiday with her family. Unfortunately, we had several sales fall through, which was absolutely no fault of Sam’s, it was our buyers’ buyer who fell through in each scenario. Never the less, Sam continued to remain enthusiastic that the house would sell. Eventually it did and I cannot thank Sam, Katie and the team enough. Our sale process was extremely stressful and we could not have got through it without Sam’s upbeat and enthusiastic manner, remaining calm and confident throughout. I would highly recommend using MNP to everyone and anyone looking to sell their house and will not even consider using any other agent should we consider selling again.

Purchasing though these guys is highly recommended. Katie was excellent and very calming when the sale was delayed. I would have changed my mind if it was not for her efforts.

Movenowproperties in Wakefield are a great team – I dealt with Jamie, Samantha and Katie and found them all very helpful and willing to go the extra mile when they sold my property. I can certainly recommend them and would use them again. Big thanks to Katie – thank you very much for all your help.

cant speak highly enough of Sam. Shes motivated, professional and knows her stuff about houses and the market but best of all is likeable which is a major key factor when your selling.
buyers can easily be put off from evasive agents.

Sam and her team dealt with the whole process, from beginning to the end, we had no worries. Sam and her team kept us up to date at all times. Making you feel as equally in control, as themselves, there was no pressures in any if the procedueres.
A very professional team with full customer awareness and understanding we wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have a question that is not answered below? Please email us on info@movenowproperties.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

    Do I need contents insurance?

    Tenants are not legally required to have contents insurance, but we highly recommend it. The landlords insurance will only cover the property / goods, but not your possessions. Without contents insurance, if a fire were to occur in the house, your personal belongings would not be covered, and you could face significant losses. We strongly advise considering contents insurance to protect your possessions in such unexpected situations. Please contact us for details on companies who provide contents insurance and specialise in insurance for tenants.

    Do you have properties available for short term letting?

    Our contracts are usually for a minimum of 6 months and can be continued thereafter but some landlords may accept a short term contract depending on your circumstances.

    If I have any problems during my tenancy who do I contact?

    If your property is managed by MoveNowProperties then you can email your enquiry to info@movenowproperties.com or contact us 01924 249349. If the property is not managed by MoveNowProperties you would contact your landlord directly. These details will have been provided to you at the start of your tenancy.

    If we haven’t answered any of your questions please contact us 01924 249349.

    Is my deposit protected?

    From 6th April 2007, all deposits paid to a landlord or agent for an assured shorthold tenancy agreement in England and Wales, must be protected by a Government authorised Deposit Scheme. Movenowlettings.com is a member of the Deposit Protection Scheme.

    Do I have to pay a reservation fee?

    Yes, a reservation fee is required when a landlord has given their approval for a tenant to proceed with a property. This fee is equivalent to one week’s worth of rent and serves as an advance payment towards the first month’s rent. Once the reservation fee is paid, we can mark the property as “let agreed” and begin processing the tenant’s application.

    It’s essential to note that if the information provided by the potential tenant turns out to be false and the referencing process fails, the tenant will forfeit their reservation fee, which will be retained by us. Therefore, it’s crucial to provide accurate and truthful information during the application process to ensure a successful tenancy arrangement.

    What happens if I have an emergency and it is out of office hours?

    If you encounter an emergency situation outside of our regular office hours, we recommend reaching out to us by emailing info@movenowproperties.com. Our team monitor this email address, even during weekends and after office hours, to address urgent issues promptly.

    However, please keep in mind that if we do not manage the property in question, you will need to get in touch with your landlord directly to address any emergency situations. It’s essential to use the appropriate contact method depending on whether we manage the property or not to ensure a swift and effective response to your needs.

    What references and checks are carried out?
    • Credit Score – Bankruptcy – CCJ / Court Decree
    • Personal identity Checks
    • Verification of current home address
    • Verification of home address for the last 3 years
    • Report on detrimental credit history
    • Current landlord / Managing Agent reference
    • Employers reference & financial check
    • Previous employers reference (if required)
    Who pays the council tax and other bills?

    You are responsible for paying the council tax and utility bills unless otherwise stated. As the tenants you are also responsible for opening and closing accounts with the utility companies. These include, gas, electricity, water, TV licensing and broadband ect. We will provide you with meter reading at the start and end of your tenancy.
