About Modernmoves...

We are a UK online estate agency with a difference. Pay a flat fee when you sell your home with us - not a % of the sale.

About Modernmoves

At ModernMoves, we believe estate agency should be simpler, more transparent, and far better value.

With over 25 years of experience in the property industry, our directors Mike Tonks and Matt Lindsey bring a rare combination of high-level industry knowledge and customer-first service.

Mike Tonks - Director

Mike was a Director at Rightmove, where he helped build and scale what became the UK’s leading property platform. He understands exactly how property marketing works — and how to position homes to get maximum exposure and results.

Matt Lindsey - Director

Matt built and ran a highly successful financial services business, earning multiple customer service awards and achieving a 5-star rating on Trustpilot. His focus has always been simple: exceptional service, delivered properly.

Together, we saw an opportunity to improve estate agency. Too often, sellers pay high fees for inconsistent service and limited transparency. We knew there was a better way - one that combines powerful marketing, honest advice, and genuine value.

That’s when ModernMoves was born.

Most estate agents take a large percentage of your house sale for doing very little work 👎

Selling your property with an online agent could save you thousands - here’s how it works:

We help get your house photographed and listed online.

We'll list your property on Rightmove, take care of the admin and legal and organise a media day for photos.

With a 360 tour of your house available online and our thorough pre-viewing checks, the only people viewing your home will be qualified buyers ready to make offers.

You do the house viewings - not an estate agent.

This is the main difference between online agents and traditional agents.

Showing people around your house is the fun part. Do you really need to pay an estate agent thousands to show people around your home? we don’t think so.

We don't take a percentage when your house sells.

When someone makes an offer on your home, we will take care of the legal and admin side of things.

We charge a flat fee and don't take a percentage of your house sale. Your home selling process is 100% transparent and simple for you.

See how much you could save with us...

Most estate agents charge between 1% and 1.5% of your property sale price.

Just look how much money you end up paying them for doing the bare minimum to sell your house...

Would you carry out your own viewings to save that much money? Imagine what you could use that money for!

Traditional estate agents are outdated and expensive…

Online agents like Modern Moves do EVERYTHING a traditional estate agent does except turn up at your property to show people around.

Do you really need to pay an agent thousands of pounds to show people around?

We charge a simple, flat fee of £1800

Selling your home should be exciting - not stressful.

But most people end up anxious, confused, and overwhelmed because estate agents make it harder than it needs to be. They take a big chunk of your money, keep you in the dark, and make decisions that aren’t always in your best interest.

We’ve been through it too - the endless calls, the hidden fees, the pressure to accept offers that don’t feel right. It’s no wonder people dread selling their houses.

That’s exactly why we created Modern Moves - a transparent, step-by-step online agency that helps you sell your home faster, stress-free, and for one simple flat fee.

Why using an online agent like Modernmoves just makes sense in 2026:

In 2025, people decide whether they want a house long before they view it in person.

We use 360 virtual tour technology so people can view your property any time they want.

The sales skills of an estate agent aren't what gets people to buy anymore - it's the photos and virtual tours.

When people view your house, it's just to make sure there are no problems.

We don't take a percentage of your house sale like most estate agents...

We do everything that an estate agent does - except carry out viewings in your house. We take care of everything else and leave the exciting part for you.

👎 How most estate agents work:

👎 You pay 1–1.5% of your sale price — often £5,000–£10,000 gone instantly.

👎 Agents pressure you to accept offers that help them, not you.

👎 They send unqualified viewers, waste your time, and seem vanish when you need updates.

👎 Hidden fees. Confusing contracts. Stress from start to finish.

👍 How Modern Moves works:

✅ One flat fee - no surprises. Thousands less than an estate agent.

✅ Full professional marketing (survey, photos, 360 tour, Rightmove Premium listing).

✅ You keep control, we handle the rest. We do all of the confusing parts for you. You just do the viewings.

✅ Fewer fall-throughs, faster sales, happier move. You sell your property with no stress.
