1. What is MYOmove?
MYOmove offers a totally different approach for property buyers and sellers.
MYOmove's unique approach turns the property market on its head, giving buyers the opportunity to advertise for the property they want, meaning sellers can make contact and strike a deal for a private sale.
MYOmove is the only site to offer benefits to both people considering buying or selling property; saving a property seller all estate agent fees whilst providing buyers with the opportunity to find the property they want quickly and easily.
So, choose to forget about estate agents and private sale websites. But do choose to make a move – Make Your Own Move.
2. How does MYOmove work?
You may be expecting a standard website advertising properties. Look again.
MYOmove is a PEOPLE website, not a PROPERTY website.

5. What is different about MYOmove?
The advent of the internet has been revolutionary for the property market. If you wish to buy or sell a property, the internet has provided you with the following alternatives:
- Estate agents own websites;
- Global sites such as rightmove used by estate agents;
- Localised sites such as ESPC in Scotland;
- Private sale advertising websites.
The internet has provided a global 'shop-window' for estate agents to advertise properties. However, selling your property using methods 1-3 above will still cost you thousands of pounds in estate agent fees. With the recent massive growth in nationwide house prices, estate agent fees have rocketed accordingly, so arguably what benefit to house sellers has the internet provided?
In response to the increased appetite to avoid estate agent fees and sell homes privately there has been a recent boom in private sale websites.
However, we at MYOmove have a totally different approach. We look at the property market from a people perspective.
- We have created a nationwide database of people looking to buy property.
- We give people looking to sell property the ability to tap into this database of potential buyers.
- We give buyers and sellers the means to make direct and safe contact through our internal messaging system.
Quite simply, we give you the opportunity to Make Your Own Move.
6. I am only thinking about buying or selling a property – can I use MYOmove?
Absolutely! If you are a property owner then registering with MYOmove will enable to you gauge the level of demand for your property and make your next decision. There may be a buyer ready and waiting for you to get in touch!
The choice is yours! If there are people interested in your location you can make direct contact with potential buyers through MYOmove. Alternatively you can still register with an estate agent and use the estate agent in parallel with MYOmove.
Therefore a key advantage of MYOmove for potential buyers and sellers is that the site provides registered users with a unique flexibility. After all, that’s why we are called Make Your Own Move!
7. Why don’t I just put a board in my window to sell privately?
If you have decided to sell your home privately you are absolutely entitled to put a board in your window at home, advertise in the newspaper etc etc. However, even if you have done so (or better still, before you have done so) there may be people interested in buying a property like yours in your area AND they may already have registered with MYOmove.com. Therefore using MYOmove you can have access to the list of these people and, for your added security and convenience, you can MAKE DIRECT CONTACT through the site, enabling you to negotiate and complete your private sale.
8. Are my details secure on MYOmove?
We promise not to use your details for any reason other than to make a MATCH so you can Make Your Own Move.
