A new site promises to make moving homes much
easier in the UK as of Monday.
Named
reallymoving.com,
it claims its services will help people find properties, hire a solicitor, and choose
a removal company among its many other useful services.
Founded by managing director Rob Houghton and finance
director James Barford, reallymoving.com intends to cover
all the essential services involved with moving home. Free
to users, it offers a selection of real time on-line quotes
on a 24/7 basis.
Among the features of the site are a database of thousands of
properties for sale and rent, powered by Internet Property
Finder. There is also a planner and reminder service that
help people make sure everything in the moving process
happens at the right time. The service will remind you
when to book a structural survey — and how and when to tell the
utility companies about your move.
Similar sites have been running in the United States for
a few years, including the well-known
moving.com. However,
reallymoving.com is the first UK site to address systematically
all the issues associated with moving.
Designed by Interactive
Business Solutions, reallymoving.com is pioneering the
on-line quotation system. Quoting and reminder
services have been developed for the site by the Surrey,
UK-based venture technology Internet company
Silk Road.
