Compare My Move is an independent comparison service that makes moving simpler by matching people with trusted professionals who are the right fit for their move.
Before founding Compare My Move in 2012, Dave Sayce ran a removals company. He loaded vans, quoted jobs, and saw first-hand what happened when people chose poorly or felt pressured into hiring the first company they found.
He also saw what good service looked like: professionals who showed up on time, communicated clearly, and treated people's belongings with care.
The problem was never a shortage of good companies. It was that people had no reliable way to find them.
So he built Compare My Move to give people a simpler, more transparent way to connect with professionals they can trust.
Since 2012, we've helped over 1.8 million people across the UK with their house moves. Today, we run one of the country's largest verified networks of professionals covering removals, conveyancing, surveying, clearance, mortgages, wills, and probate.
Unlike many other comparison services, we're not just a directory. Our system is never pay-to-play, and no company gets preferential treatment.
Every company in our network is verified for credentials, insurance, and track record before joining, and their performance is monitored through regular reviews and checks. We also follow up with customers after their move to make sure the service delivered meets our standards.
Alongside our comparison service, we publish independent guides written by specialists with real industry experience. We believe informed customers make better decisions, which lead to stronger matches and better outcomes. Education isn't just a nice-to-have, it's core to what we do.
Drawing on insights from the thousands of people who use Compare My Move each year, we help you understand what to expect and make informed decisions at every stage.
All of our advice is written independently from our partners, so it’s unbiased and there to help you even if you don’t use our services.
Moving home is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions people face. It's costly and stressful, and the outcome is shaped by the professionals you choose to trust. Yet despite the high stakes, finding the right help is often confusing, time-consuming, and costly.
The industry is crowded and inconsistent. Some companies hide fees or inflate prices, and many operate without clear credentials. Too often, comparison sites make things worse by listing whoever pays to appear, with little or no checks. For people already under pressure, it can be hard to know which recommendations to trust.
Compare My Move was created to change this. Having seen how difficult it was to find reliable help, we set out to build a service that puts trust, clarity and fit first.
By carefully verifying every company, collecting real cost data, and publishing independent advice, we give you the confidence to make the right choice at every stage of your move.
Behind Compare My Move is a team of more than 40 specialists with experience across property, finance, data, and digital content. Together, they share a commitment to making the moving process clearer, fairer, and less stressful.
Every day, our researchers and analysts verify company credentials, track and interpret cost data, and monitor customer feedback across our network. Our writers and editors turn these insights into guides and tools that are accurate, practical, and easy to understand.
This combined effort is what ensures every match you receive, and every article you read, is built on trust and expertise.
Trust is at the heart of everything we do. From the partners we verify to the guides we publish, every part of our service is designed to help you make confident choices about life’s biggest moves.
