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, simply the way moving should be handled.
Property sales move more smoothly when paperwork, timelines and expectations are clear from the outset.
Our process helps by:
- Preparing essential documents in advance
- Clarifying expectations and timelines
- Aligning buyers, sellers, and solicitors more effectively
- Keeping communication clear at every stage
It’s not about rushing - it’s about staying one step ahead.
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 form part of our SmartMove process and are coordinated from the outset. Any third-party services are clearly explained and agreed in advance, in line with our Terms of Business, so you start fully prepared and aligned from day one.
Some items involve third-party costs. While they’re not always essential, they can add clarity or reassurance in the right circumstances. We’ll explain the options clearly and, if you choose to proceed, coordinate the arrangements in line with our Terms of Business:
- EPC - required by law (arranged at local rates if needed, or you’re welcome to provide your own)
- Searches - normally commissioned later, but sometimes started early to support smoother progression
- Pre-sale survey - optional, but can give buyers added confidence and provide additional clarity where helpful. If chosen, it may be shared, readdressed, or licensed for buyers by agreement
- Reservation Agreement - if both sides agree, it can help lock in commitment and support commitment where appropriate
This way, you stay in control - with clear choices and full preparation.
We’ll help you get sale-ready before your buyer even walks through the door.
That means clearer timelines and greater confidence when offers arrive.
Because sellers commit to early preparation through SmartMove, you’ll see upfront property details, verified information, and agreed timelines from the outset - keeping the process clear and coordinated for everyone.
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 from the outset.
SmartMove by House of Hilbre® - a structured, well-prepared way to move.
