Movemaker: Making moving easy - with help towards your fees

If you have been accepted for Movemaker, you can reserve your new Redrow home at the start of the process when we receive your application. You will then enter into a Movemaker agreement regarding the sale and marketing of your current property, and other terms and conditions.

We will use local estate agents close to the area of the property you are selling. The estate agents we use will vary due to this - it is based on your location.

We base our final valuation on two valuations made by local estate agents who know the average property prices in the area. This ensures we have made a well-informed valuation on your property.

1. To be considered for Movemaker, you will need to provide access to our appointed estate agents or our representative within 3 working days for the purposes of valuations and inspection of your existing property.
2. Following two valuations from our nominated estate agents and an inspection of your existing property (including an EPC Certificate) we will verbally offer you a price to market your existing property at. Your acceptance will be required within 2 working days and any confirmed written offer must be returned within 2 working days of receipt. Upon acceptance your Reservation Agreement will be processed, subject to Anti-Money Laundering checks we must undertake. If you do not accept the price that we offer for your existing property to be marketed at, your application for Movemaker will be cancelled.
3. If no acceptable offer is received on your existing property within the time period set out in the Movemaker Agreement, we reserve the right to re-market our new Redrow home and to refund you the Reservation Deposit subject to the terms set out in the Reservation Agreement.
4. You must enter into a Movemaker Agreement with BDW Trading Limited (the trading company of Redrow Homes) concerning the sale of your existing property, which will include a time period for the marketing of your existing property. A sample of our Movemaker Agreement may be obtained from your local Redrow Customer Experience Suite.
5. You agree to Redrow appointing a nominated estate agent whom you will instruct to market and sell your existing property.
6. You agree you will have no control over which estate agents we instruct, or the terms of that appointment.
7. You agree to allow reasonable access to your existing property to facilitate the resale (subject to agreed appointments), to the erection of a “for sale” sign and to co-operate fully with our estate agent in their endeavours to market and sell your existing property.
8. Should you terminate the Movemaker Agreement within the time period set out in the Agreement then we may retain the Reservation Deposit payment for costs incurred as set out within the Reservation Agreement.
9. This offer is also subject to the terms of your Reservation Agreement with us which explains the circumstances in which we may retain your Reservation Deposit.
10. In order to meet our 42 day exchange requirement, you will need to ensure your solicitor is instructed to proceed on your behalf upon acceptance of an offer of your existing property and completion of our Reservation Agreement.
11. We agree to pay the estate agent’s commission plus VAT for marketing and selling your existing property provided you legally complete on the purchase of your new Redrow home.
12. You agree not to instruct another estate agent to sell your existing property until your Movemaker Agreement has ended, that no party is currently negotiating to purchase your existing property and that no introduction has already been made by another party.
13. You agree to cancel any existing arrangements with any agents’ and any agents’ fees or commissions and VAT that may have been incurred by you prior to our Movemaker Agreement will remain your responsibility. Redrow will not accept liability towards any such costs or charges.
14. Any estate agent appointed by ourselves to market your existing property will be acting on our behalf and should the complete transaction proceed to mutual legal completion any fees and commissions for the appointed estate agent will be met by Redrow. Should either party withdraw from the transaction but you continue to sell your existing property to any individual introduced by our appointed estate agent during the period of our instructions, and any such sale proceeds to legal completion, you would be responsible for the estate agent’s commission and VAT.
15. Your existing property must continue to be maintained internally and externally to an acceptable standard until legal completion and on legal completion must be left clean and tidy including the garden, loft and any outbuildings with only the agreed items remaining.
16. Full vacant possession of your existing property will be required upon legal completion.
