How much will Your Move Charge for Selling my Home?
Your Move has the most visited estate agency website in the UK and, unlike most online providers, Your Move doesn’t charge an initial fixed fee. Instead of charging an initial fee, the firm offers a ‘no sale no fee’ policy.
Estate Agent Fees charged when you use Your Move can be either an agreed-upon fixed fee, or a percentage of the purchase price of your property. It is very important that when an estate agent from Your Move visits your home for a valuation, you have them clearly outline their fees. This will enable you effectively take this cost into account and determine how much the selling of your home will actually cost, as well as how much you stand to gain.
Another cost to consider is what you will be charged for getting an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which Your Move can help you facilitate.
The cost for conveyancing should also be taken into consideration. The price for conveyancing will vary, and is dependent on your circumstances. Your Move can provide a solicitor that will deliver a conveyancing service under a “no sale no fee” agreement and a guaranteed fixed price to keep things clear and easy.
Free letting and sales valuations are available to all clients anywhere in the UK.

Where will Your Move Estate Agents Advertise my Property?
When using an online estate agent, you have to make sure the property you are trying to sell is going to get maximum exposure online – and offline if possible. The online exposure is often achieved by advertising your property prominently on major property portals. Online agents who are trying to cut down on expenses might advertise your property only on portals who offer their services for free. If you want your property to be sold quickly and to reach all the right potential customers, you need to ensure your agent will have it listed on all the right platforms.
Your Move markets properties through premium listings on major property portals such as Zoopla, Rightmove, and Prime Location. It also makes use of other channels to give your property optimal exposure.
Extra Fees Charged by Your Move
If you choose, you can pay extra to have Your Move send a professional over to your property to take high quality photographs that will be used to effectively market your property on the right platforms. Another extra you can choose to pay for is to have the advert of your property placed in an optimal position online, where potential buyers will come across it first before viewing any other properties. This advanced web positioning will boost your property advert’s visibility, and can lead to a quicker sale.
You can also pay Your Move to help organise for removals. All extras offered by the company are available to all clients, and you can get all the information you need by speaking to a Your Move agent, who will be able to discuss what all your options are, and which will make it possible to achieve a faster sale and a higher sale price.
