Lexie and Sara are sharing their honest, real life experiences of moving day and those crucial first 24 hours in a new home. They discuss why you should pack a "move in bag" like you're going on holiday, the importance of cleaning empty rooms before you fill them, whether you should hire a removal company or go it alone, and why changing the locks and recording meter readings matter more than you think.
Moving home is often listed as one of life's most stressful events, but it doesn't have to be. With a bit of planning, realistic expectations, and a sense of humour, your first night in your new home can actually be fun.

Property advice is rarely one size fits all, but that doesn’t stop the same old claims being repeated again and again.
In this episode, Sara and Lexie put some of the most common property beliefs under the spotlight, from asking prices and online valuations to renovation, deposits and the so-called spring market.
Do you really need to renovate before selling? Is the asking price a true reflection of value? Should buyers stretch their budget as far as possible? And are new builds really problem-free?
They also share some of their own experiences, including viewings that went badly wrong, buyers who would not even step through the door and why Christmas can sometimes be a surprisingly good time to strike a deal.
The key takeaway? Good property guidance depends on the property, the market and your own circumstances. Blanket statements should always be treated with caution.

In this final episode of the retrofit series, Phil Spencer and Daniel Kittow from Vibrant Energy Matters bring everything together - showing how homeowners can move from uncertainty to clarity, one step at a time. They discuss the human side of home energy upgrades and how it's not just about the tech or the savings, it's about feeling confident enough to take action. They explore what holds homeowners back, why retrofit feels so overwhelming at first, and how getting the right support can completely shift your mindset from doubt to decision. Plus, they explain why starting small is absolutely fine, what low cost changes you can make yourself, and how investing time in research now can lead to zero bills and real financial freedom later.

Heat pumps, solar panels, and smart tech – are they the future of home energy, or just an expensive headache?
In this episode, Phil Spencer is joined again by David Sanders from Vibrant Energy Matters to discuss what upgrades are available to make your home more energy efficient. They explore whether heat pumps and solar panels are right for every home, how the technology has evolved, and why getting the order right matters just as much as the tech itself.
They discuss how heat pumps actually work, the impact of combining solar panels with battery storage, and the role of smart tech in making your home more efficient without needing to be a tech expert. Plus, David shares what he's installed in his own Victorian terrace and the common mistakes homeowners make when going it alone.

Phil is joined by Emma from Skipton Building Society to explain product transfers and what to do when your fixed rate mortgage deal ends. If you’re unsure whether to switch lenders or stay put, this conversation focuses on the option of moving onto a new deal with your existing lender.
When your deal comes to an end, you don’t have to accept your lender’s reversionary rate. A product transfer allows you to switch to a new deal with the same lender, often with a simpler process. Understanding your options early can help you avoid higher repayments and make a more informed choice.
If your fixed rate is nearing its expiry date, this episode will help you understand your options and decide whether a product transfer could be the right fit.

In this episode, Phil sits down with Emma from Skipton Building Society to discuss how easy switching mortgage lenders can be. If you’re wondering whether moving away from your current lender is worth it, this conversation covers why homeowners choose to switch, how long the process can take, and what costs you might need to factor in.
Phil and Emma also explore how to compare mortgage deals properly and what support is available along the way, so you’re not navigating the process alone. If your current deal is ending or you’re simply looking for a better option, this episode will help you understand what switching lenders really involves and how to approach it with confidence.

In this first episode of our six-part series on understanding your mortgage, we’re joined by Simon from Skipton Building Society to break down the essentials: a guide to remortgaging for the first time. We explore what remortgaging means, how to get ready for your current deal coming to an end, and how to compare mortgage options with confidence.
If your product is nearing its expiry date, this episode will help you understand your choices and take your next step with clarity.
Remortgaging is simply switching to a new mortgage deal, either with your current lender or a new one. Preparing early can help you avoid higher rates, and comparing deals properly means looking beyond just the headline interest rate.

What happens when you buy a property expecting to sell a few years down the line… and it just doesn’t?😫
In this episode, Phil Spencer sits down with Alex, Move iQ’s Head of Partnerships, to talk candidly about going from a homeowner to a landlord. This wasn’t his plan but when selling wasn’t an option, renting out the property instead made the most sense.
Alex shares what it’s like to become a landlord almost overnight, the lessons learned during the process and the advice he has for others in a similar situation. Together, Phil and Alex break down the real-world risks, responsibilities, and decisions that come with renting out an unsold property; from finances and legal obligations to managing tenants and stress levels 🏡 📑

At the end of your contract, what happens next will depend on what you want - and what your landlord wants. It can feel like a scary time, but it’s important to remember you have options. You could renew your contract, which could involve a rent increase. Or, your tenancy may become periodic (no fixed end date). While this can provide you with flexibility, it works both ways, and the landlord could end this without much notice. Of course, you could always move out also.
Maxine Fothergill, President of ARLA Propertymark joins our founder Phil Spencer again to share helpful advice and expertise. Ending a tenancy can be a stressful time, particularly if your landlord is the one who doesn’t want it to continue.
Listen in to find out:
- What happens at the end of a fixed term tenancy
- Cleaning at the end of your tenancy
- What condition you should leave the property in
- Getting your deposit back
- Your options (e.g. rolling contract, renewing)

If you’re a motivated seller looking for an alternative and quick way to sell your home, an online auction could be the solution.
A recent study of the housing market concluded that one in three private treaty house sales (this is the traditional method of selling a property) fell through in the last year – which isn’t good news if you have a compelling reason to sell.
Auctions have a less than 4% chance of fall-through. The online auction process puts contracts in place to give the seller peace of mind and the buyer a straightforward path to closing a deal, giving you a route to a more secure sale.
Unfortunately, there are still many misconceptions about property auctions that prevent sellers from capitalising on this opportunity.
In this BONUS EPISODE of the Move iQ podcast, Phil Spencer is joined by Alex Willis, Director at GOTO Group – our wonderful sponsors of the show.
GOTO’s concierge services have everything you need to move stress-free from choosing the right agent, mortgage advisor, solicitor, surveyor, and even removals. Phil and Alex enjoy a fantastic conversation about how the digital property auction process has developed and why it can be the best option for motivated sellers.
Listen in to find out:
- How an online auction differs from the more conventional way to put your property on the market
- If an online auction is a suitable way for you to sell your house
- How online auctions confidently secure a buyer
- The four main benefits of using an online auction to sell your home
- How an online auction takes place
- What a committed buyer service is
- The benefits and warnings for online auction buyers

What do I need to do after accepting an offer?
The first thing you can do is to celebrate! Yes, things could still go pear-shaped, but this is a major milestone.

That’s why we’ve created our Moving House Timeline and Checklist. It takes all the stress and planning out of your move and lets you get on with the important stuff.
What do I need to do on moving day?
There’s excitement. There’s a bit of nerves. And there’s a very long to-do list.
Do you know all the jobs you need to get done on moving day? It might seem like a lot, but you can make the whole process a lot simpler. From making sure you’ve got a stash of teabags with you, all the way through to dropping off the keys, our Moving Day Checklist has got you covered.

The big moment is finally here – you’ve received an offer on your property! Hopefully, it’s all in writing, with a covering email or letter that explains how the buyer is funding the purchase, and any conditions they may have.
Accepting an offer may be the easiest part of selling a house (all you have to do is say “yes”) but you may find it’s actually the hardest part. Selling isn’t just about money. It’s about what sits behind it. You sell with your heart as much as (if not more than) your head.
That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’ve got the right buyer.
The difference in conditions and context between two offers may end up feeling more important than the numbers. In this episode, Phil Spencer guides you through this minefield of emotion to help you decide who’s the best buyer and which offer on your house you should accept.
Listen in to find out:
- Why a good offer is about more than just the money
- How to evaluate an offer
- How to decide who the best buyer is
- Whether you should always counteroffer after rejecting an offer
- Why you need your solicitor to come into their own at this stage

Don’t let the legal side let you down!
If you’ve got an offer, you need to get a good solicitor. If you haven’t got one yet, or you aren’t sure whether it’s the right choice (it almost always is!), you can use our free, no-obligation conveyancing quote tool to help you find the right conveyancer for you. Thanks to GOTO Conveyancing, you can get quotes from up to four professional legal advisors at the click of a button!
What to do if several buyers bid on your home
First off – well done! If you’ve got several interested buyers, all making credible offers, you’ve been doing everything right (and maybe got a bit lucky too)!
If you do find yourself in this enviable position, you may want to consider sealed bid offers. This method of selling can get the attention of only the most serious buyers. It also comes with plenty of its own risks. If you are considering using this method, we advise you to take the time to learn more about sealed bidding.

Selling a house is hard enough. Throw buying a new one into the mix and it’d be understandable if you felt overwhelmed. It also means that you’re involved in a chain.
Property chains can be complicated things at the best of times. When they stretch beyond a few buyers, it can feel very fragile.
This is because you can only know one degree of separation from yourself in the chain, so you are left with many unknowns and a lot of questions!
For all the unknowns, ifs, buts, maybes, and confusion, Phil Spencer and his co-host, Chris Ducker, have some timeless tactics that can save you a lot of stress. Whether it’s knowing how to build momentum or acting with a little empathy, our resident experts share their thoughts on what you can do to make being in a property chain easier.
Listen on to find out:
- What a property chain really is
- How far you can reasonably look ahead
- How to manage the uncertainty of being in a slow-moving property chain
- Whether there really is a ‘best time’ for moving
- How to manage the fear of selling without a place to move to
- Why communication and momentum are your two best friends
