SmartMove by House of Hilbre®
In a nutshell
📄 Get documents & checks ready early
🤝 Keep buyers, sellers & solicitors aligned
⏱️ Avoid last-minute delays & surprises
A calmer, more coordinated way to move - giving clearer steps and helping avoid surprises.
At House of Hilbre, every move follows our structured SmartMove process - designed to keep buyers and sellers aligned from the very start.
It’s about early preparation, shared expectations, and open communication - nothing complicated, just a better way to move that already meets the new UK home-buying standards for transparency and upfront information.
Why it helps
Most delays in property sales come from missing paperwork, unclear timelines, or miscommunication. Our process helps by:
- 📄 Preparing essential documents in advance
- ⏱️ Clarifying expectations and timelines
- 🤝 Aligning buyers, sellers, and solicitors more effectively
- ✅ Reducing late-stage surprises or misunderstandings
It’s not about rushing - it’s about staying one step ahead.
What’s included
We take care of the essentials so you’re sale-ready from day one:
- ✅ ID and AML checks
- ✅ Seller Information Pack (TA6, TA10, warranties, etc.)
- ✅ Clear timeline and solicitor alignment
- ✅ Regular updates to keep everyone on track
These are arranged upfront in good faith, subject to our terms of business, so you start fully compliant and well-prepared under the new national standards.
Tailored extras
Some items involve third-party costs, and while they’re not always essential, they can add clarity or reassurance in the right circumstances. We’ll advise on what’s worthwhile and handle the arrangements if you’d like:
- 🏠 EPC - required by law (arranged at local rates, or you can provide your own).
📝 Searches - normally commissioned later, but sometimes started early to reduce delay - we’ll advise case-by-case.
📋 Pre-sale survey - optional, but can give buyers added confidence. It may be shared, readdressed, or licensed for multiple buyers depending on your choice.
🔒 Reservation Agreement - if both sides agree, it can help lock in commitment and reduce fall-through risk.
This way, you stay in control while still benefiting from full preparation.
For Sellers
We’ll help you get sale-ready before your buyer even walks through the door.
That means fewer surprises, smoother timelines, and more confidence when offers arrive.
For Buyers
Because sellers commit to early preparation through SmartMove, you’ll see upfront property details, verified information, and agreed timelines from the outset - reducing uncertainty and keeping the process clear for everyone.
How it works
Our structured process is built into every move - from listing to completion.
Starting early brings the most benefit, but no matter when you join us, you’ll move with more clarity and confidence.
📌 The details flex to suit your circumstances, but the principles of preparation, clarity, and calm communication always apply - with clear terms so the process stays fair on both sides.
