Why Transparency Matters: How Bettermove Builds Trust with Sellers
Estimated reading time 4 minutes
When it comes to selling your home quickly, particularly through a cash offer, the experience can often feel overwhelming and sometimes, a little secretive. Sellers are left wondering: How was that offer price calculated? What factors were considered? Am I being treated fairly?
At Bettermove, we believe that selling your property should be a transparent, empowering experience – not a stressful or mysterious one. That’s why we are proud to set ourselves apart from other companies by offering full transparency at every stage of the selling process.
We share the full findings of your property’s independent survey report with you, the seller. You’ll have access to all the information used to determine your cash offer, ensuring complete clarity, confidence and peace of mind.
The problem with traditional cash offers
Many fast-sale and cash-buying companies provide below market value offers, but provide little to no insight into how that figure was calculated. Property sellers are left with unanswered questions:
- Was the property properly assessed?
- Were any issues exaggerated to lower the offer?
- Is this genuinely the best price available?
Without full visibility, it’s difficult for homeowners to feel confident in their decision. Worse, it can leave sellers vulnerable to accepting offers that do not reflect the true value or potential of their property. We think this isn't just unfair; it’s unacceptable. At Bettermove, we believe that trust is earned through openness, honesty and communication.
Our transparent approach to cash offers
Our commitment to transparency begins from the moment you reach out to us. Here’s exactly how the Bettermove valuation process works:
1. Independent survey
First, we arrange for an independent RICS chartered surveyor to assess your property. This step ensures that the valuation is conducted impartially, with no hidden agendas. We cover this cost whether you proceed forward with our cash offer or not.
2. Full disclosure of findings
Once the survey is completed, we share the full report with you. This report details everything from the condition of the structure to any repairs needed, local market influences and more. There are no vague summaries – you get the same detailed report we use to determine the offer.
This empowers you to see exactly:
- How the market value has been determined
- What (if any) issues have impacted the valuation
- How your offer amount was calculated based on real data
3. Honest, evidence-based offer
With the survey findings in hand, we then make our cash offer rooted in facts, not guesswork. You’ll understand how we reached our figure because you’ll have access to the same information we do.
Importantly, reviewing the report and receiving the offer comes with no obligation and no pressure. If you decide to move forward, fantastic. If you choose not to, that’s fine too.
Plus, there are no hidden fees or costs with Bettermove. What you see is what you get.
Why transparency matters
Transparency isn't just a nice touch, it's essential for peace of mind and financial security. Here's why it matters:
- You have full control over your selling decision, backed by factual information rather than sales tactics
- Knowing that there’s nothing hidden builds real trust between you and us
- Transparency ensures you're protected against unfair practices common in the fast-sale market
- You can move forward with your sale knowing you made an informed decision based on clear evidence
How Bettermove compares
In a market where many competitors focus solely on speed and secrecy, Bettermove stands out for our commitment to integrity.
Other companies may:

- Pressure you to accept an offer without full disclosure
- Add hidden fees that reduce the final amount you receive
Bettermove does the opposite:
- We hire independent surveyors for unbiased valuations
- We share the full survey report with you
- We allow you the time you need to review and decide without pressure
- We offer a straightforward process with no hidden costs
In short, we treat every seller the way we would want to be treated, with honesty, respect and complete transparency.
