Your questions, answered.
Does MOVA carry out the legal work or surveys?
No. MOVA arranges introductions. Your legal firm or surveyor provides the professional service, issues its own terms and is responsible for its work. We will identify the provider before you decide whether to proceed.
Can I use my own solicitor or surveyor?
Yes. You do not have to use a referral to receive mortgage advice from MOVA. Where finance is involved, confirm that your legal firm can act for the lender or home finance provider.
Where are these services available?
The services shown here are for property transactions in England. Availability also depends on the property, transaction and provider’s criteria. Ask us before making plans for a property elsewhere.
Is a fixed-fee remortgage quote all-inclusive?
Not necessarily. The quote will define the work included. Additional legal work, searches, Land Registry charges or other third-party costs may be separate. Read the quotation and terms before instructing the firm.
Will MOVA receive a referral payment?
We may receive a payment for an introduction. Where applicable, we will explain the arrangement and payment before you decide whether to proceed. The provider’s quote sets out its own charges.
Which survey should I choose?
Discuss the property’s age, construction, condition and any planned alterations with the surveyor. They should explain which service is appropriate and what the report will and will not cover.
