🔐 SecureMove: Because Selling Your Home Shouldn’t Feel Like a Gamble
Selling your home shouldn’t feel like a gamble. With buyers pulling out last minute for no good reason, SecureMove gives sellers peace of mind. It’s a legally binding agreement that protects you from time-wasters and ensures serious buyers stay committed — or pay the price.
You’ve done the hard bit. Your home’s on the market, the offer’s in, you’ve started packing.
Then — out of nowhere — the buyer pulls out.
No crisis. No tragedy. Just a change of heart.
And just like that, you’re back to square one.
At Nicholsons, we’ve seen it time and time again. That’s why we offer SecureMove — a smarter, fairer way to protect sellers from needless fall-throughs and time-wasters.
💥 Real Stories. Real Stress.
Here’s the reality: people pulling out of sales happens more than you think. And it’s not always for reasons you’d expect.
🧳 “We’ve found another one...”
A buyer recently ditched their agreed purchase at the last minute — after spotting another home that suddenly dropped in price. The seller had already booked removals and taken time off work. No warning. No compensation.
With SecureMove, that buyer would’ve paid a pre-agreed financial commitment to walk away — giving the seller at least something back for their lost time and money.
📝 “We’re just not sure anymore...”
Another buyer got cold feet days before exchange. No issues, no emergencies — just a vague feeling that “maybe it wasn’t the right one.”
That indecision cost the seller weeks.
SecureMove ensures that kind of last-minute flakiness comes with consequences.
🚨 Emergencies Happen — But Excuses Shouldn’t Be Free
We understand life throws up the unexpected. Illness. Job loss. Bereavement.
And if a buyer pulls out for reasons like these, we get it. That’s different.
But walking away because “something better came up”?
That shouldn’t be free — and with SecureMove, it isn’t.
🔍 What Exactly Is SecureMove?
SecureMove is a legally binding agreement, signed when an offer is accepted. It sets clear expectations from the start — and it protects both sides.
Here’s how it works:
🛡️ If a buyer or seller pulls out for no good reason, they pay a pre-agreed compensation fee to the other party
🕐 It keeps timelines on track, reduces fall-through rates, and filters out time-wasters
💬 It reassures serious buyers that their commitment is matched
It’s all about certainty. And in today’s market, that’s worth its weight in gold.
🏡 Peace of Mind for Sellers
Selling a home is one of life’s biggest decisions. It shouldn’t be ruined by flaky buyers or false promises.
SecureMove gives you control, protection, and peace of mind.
Because if someone pulls out without good reason — they should pay, not you.
