Testimonials
SELLER
I used Direct Moves to sell my property and purchase another one and I was very happy with how they handled both the sale and the purchase. They managed to sell my property for the full asking price and the sale was completed within 2 months of putting it on the market. With regards to purchasing a property they managed to successfully negotiate a lower price as the survey found a couple of minor issues with the property. I would strongly recommend Direct Moves to anyone who is considering selling their property. Kind regards, Rhys Evans
SELLER
The whole team are helpful and professional. We have bought 2 houses through Direct Moves and, from a buyer's perspective, found them to be honest, dynamic and full of integrity. We dealt mostly with Emma who is dedicated, proactive and a great communicator. We have no hesitation in recommending them - Sarah Baker
SELLER
Emma and the team at Direct Moves are first-class from point of sale to completion. They always keep me informed of progress and are always on hand throughout. I have sold and purchased several properties and continue to be impressed by the service provided. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company and will continue to use their services. Thanks again for the completion of my latest sale and purchase - Mrs Gray

It has been such fun being part of the Direct Moves Family for my house sale, Barry, Ben and Benjamin (aka Direct Moves Direction the boy band) have been very patient and obliging. But housing transactions are serious business and this is a totally dedicated and professional company, when the chips were down Emma was cool, calm and absolutely committed to ensuring a good outcome. Thank you all so much - Wendy Grant

Dear Emma and team, I am writing to thank you all for such a highly professional and efficient service from start to finish. It was a very lengthy process, but we got there in the end!

SELLER
I would like to thank you and you're the amazing team for nothing less than excellent service. From selling our house in under 4 hours to finding us the new home that we love! Dan was so accommodating throughout both transactions and a true credit to direct moves! I spoke to a number of your colleagues and they were all so polite I can't name all of them as my memory not great where names are concerned but John was also particularly helpful! - Jules Park

BUYER
Dear Emma, John, Dan and the whole team at Weymouth direct moves. Thank you for all your help in the purchase of 4 White Rose Court. As always your service, professionalism and communication have been second to none. I've now used your services to buy and sell a few properties now and you have never disappointed and I would, and have recommended you 100%. Thank you again. Rob Manvell
BUYER
We are very impressed with the Direct Moves team. You have been helpful and professional towards us throughout our search. This considerably reduced the stress levels, which were due to the distance we had to travel from our present home and the limited time that we had to look for a suitable property while we were in the Weymouth area. Thank you once again. See you in two weeks, when we collect our keys. Best wishes to you all. Margaret & Norman Hunt.
BUYER
Direct Moves were incredibly helpful in assisting me with the purchase of my first house. From the moment I got in contact with them, they did whatever they could to help me. The sales team notified me of new properties they had coming onto the market before they went online which was useful and made me feel like they valued my interests. The viewing times and days were flexible, which was of great help to me because I worked away in the week and they catered to my needs. After the offer was agreed on on my property I was kept up to date by the post-sales teams and they were extremely professional, they answered any questions I had and worked hard to pursue any queries I had on the property. All in all, they made the experience of buying my first property a lot easier and less stressful than I imagined it would be. I cannot thank Direct Moves enough for the work they have done for me. Mr Rogers
BUYER
Thankyou so much to everyone at Direct Moves for all of your help and patience throughout the sale of my property and the purchase of my new home! Particularly Dan who made the experience as stress free as possible with great communication and expert advice from his years of experience. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who is thinking of selling a property in the future - Tori Galloway - January 2017
BUYER
I found Emma and the team very helpful in getting my purchase completed in an exceptional time given the current environment. Without their help and assistance, I would still be waiting. Thank you - Gavin Lamb
BUYER
Dear Rachel I am happy to tell you that my experience with Direct Moves, with my father as a prospective buyer, has been completely positive. My father and I have been shown around retirement apartments by other agents in the town and in my opinion the experience was less than the standard I would expect. Direct Moves on the other hand have been exemplary in the handling of the viewings and negotiations. I would particularly like to say that Claire has more than gone the extra mile to make this a smooth purchase and my personal thanks to her for this. My father was so impressed that he invited her to have lunch with us at the Saxon Arms on his last visit to view the property, which unfortunately she was unable to accept. I spent some years working as a mystery shopper for a national organisation so the good and bad points in any organisation are very noticeable to me and I am acutely aware what companies expect of their staff. Had I been mystery shopping on behalf of Direct Moves the Dorchester branch would have a glowing report. I would have no hesitation in recommending Direct Moves. Many thanks to all your staff. Carolynne Howard
BUYER
Hi Emma thank you for all your help with all you have done. If it wasn't for you and your help I wouldn't have got anywhere thank you. Clive Haskell
BUYER
I just wanted to thank you all for making my purchase in Charlton Down so effortless. I was very pleased to have met Ben Bond as he showed me a very suitable property but I did not prefer the location. When the house in Charlton Down came up Ben knew my requirements and made every effort to show me the property. He also managed to secure it for me before the agreed day which allowed me to confirm my offer. The period before the exchange was long and painful but once again I received great support from Ben, Dan and especially Emma who reassured me as I waited to exchange. This teamwork meant I could deal with anyone in the office with confidence and they all knew my purchase details and this was very reassuring. It has been a real pleasure to deal with Direct Moves - thank you!John Murphy
BUYER

I would not hesitate in recommending your services. A breath of fresh air in this industry one again big thanks and I look forward to dealing with you in the future. Kind regards Paul Neville-Jones
BUYER
Good morning Emma, I wanted to email to thank you for all your hard work in driving things forward with the sale/purchase, despite several hurdles. You've been incredibly supportive and helpful. We're elated that we'll soon be moving at last! - Naomi Wilcox
BUYER
May we thank all at Direct Moves for their help in our purchase of this property. We found that throughout the time we were looking for a suitable property that Clare was in touch with us weekly and quickly alerted us to a suitable property coming on the market. The friendliness and helpfulness of all at Direct Moves took the hassle out of what can be a fraught process.
BUYER
I would like to thank John Wilson and everyone at Direct Moves for their help and assistance whilst purchasing my first property. John helped to negotiate a price with the vendors that were in my range. He was always very helpful in answering any questions and setting up further viewings. The whole process seemed effortless and went through without any problems. I would highly recommend Direct Moves to anyone looking to sell or buy a property. Thank you once again! - Juliet Frampton -
BUYER
Dear Emma, Many thanks for your email and apologies for not being as prompt with the reply as you were to write to us! As I'm sure you appreciate, we first celebrated the end to the long drawn out conveyancing process and have since been rather preoccupied with arrangements and packing. Your professionalism throughout, calmness and voice of reason in the midst of what seemed like chaos, went a long way to helping us get through it. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes to all your team who have dealt with us in whatever capacity over the last few months. I have dropped a note to Mr and Mrs Wallace but hope you will also wish them good luck from us for a smooth move. We are very much looking forward to joining the community down on the coast. Our very best wishes to the whole team, Rob and Cathy Sage-
BUYER
Very good selection of properties at my price range. The negotiator kindly spent 1 to 2 hours with me after usual business hours on very short notice showing me properties. The transaction has progressed more quickly than most. Direct Moves helpfully renegotiated a fair price reduction on the discovery of damp in the survey. Impressed with their local knowledge, attention to me as a buyer and their know-how. Kind regards Mr Gafsen -
BUYER
