Caz's Recent Activity

After having maintained a perfectly compliant client account with TSB for 20 years this problem has now arrived on my desk. I have Prof Indem Insurance, Cyber Cover, registered as a fit and proper person for AML and with the TPO, all deposits registered with the TDS, GDPR compliant, member of ARLA and the NAEA for over 15 years, CMP, fully audited client account signed off annually by a Chartered Accountant - yet just as we go into another lockdown, TSB are closing my client account and say if I haven't moved my client money by 31st Jan 2021 then they will send me a cheque! Spoken to 2 high street banks so far, Santander with whom I hold business accounts have declined me - I can have a client account for deposits but they want designated individual accounts for each of my clients so advised me not to waste time applying and waiting 6 weeks for a face to face during lockdown as I would probably be turned down. Spoke to Starling Bank who will only accept FCA regulated businesses. This is absolutely disgraceful when I am trading legally with the fullest compliance. Take heed folks !! This is real!

We are a one branch independent estate agency and lettings agency based in Rural Nottinghamshire. We pay per calendar month for sales & lettings:- Rightmove £1085 plus VAT and price is going up by £65 a month plus VAT in January 2020 – it’s a complete rip-off Zoopla £297 plus VAT (we were on £400pcm a few months ago said we were leaving due to fee ban and they gave us a discount and more valuation leads) OTM £199 plus VAT – we were free to list for about 18 months and have only just agreed to start paying OTM Valuation Leads Rightmove – useless – we only get ‘potential valuations’ for people who are already on the market with another agent, usually out of our area. Zoopla – between 4 to 6 valuation enquiries per month mostly from people who are ‘just curious’ and often quite hard to get back in touch with OTM – One valuation once in a blue moon I also subscribe to Zoopla as a consumer and get frequent emails telling me to have my house valued by Yopa.

As a love2move partner agent, we've had really positive responses from our customers. We can give customers choice, clearly defined services tailored to suit their needs and their budget. By expanding our services with this well-made product, and being able to separate the 'budget' service from the 'full service' for example, it makes it much easier for our staff and much clearer for our customers. The support we get from the love2move team is fantastic, and because they're looking after the technical side, we can get on with selling houses! We'd highly recommend it, and have introduced a nearby partner agent - area exclusivity means we don't compete over the same territory.

As a love2move agent, we have had a very positive response to the service offering from our clients. We've had great personal success, lots of support from the love2move family and we're really looking forward to the next level of development that the crowdfunding pitch will bring.

Online agents are not going away. Like kitchens - there will always be people who buy a flatpack DIY kitchen and there will always be people who want made-to-measure! Using a service like love2move which allows traditional online agents to offer an online portal for buyers looking for a low-cost DIY option (with a safety net and no hidden costs) but also maintain their traditional service. The way forward is clear and honest choice for your clients.
