Home moving partnership achieves its fastest ever completion
27 January 2026
A partnership between leading home moving brands Movera, Connells Group and iamproperty Group has achieved a milestone transaction completion time of just three days, beating the partnership’s previous eleven-day record between receipt of the draft contract pack and completion.
This stands in stark contrast to the wider market, where the average time to sell a home is currently 205 days, according to data from TwentyEA.
Developed to transform the auction experience, the partnership – which began just eighteen months ago – hinges on increased collaboration between the two conveyancing parties representing the buyer and seller. ONP, part of Movera, and Medway Law, part of iamproperty, have paired conveyancers from their respective teams to work together on every case in tandem.
This consistency has enabled strong relationships to develop between the two teams and ensured both parties are working together efficiently and with the customer’s best interests in mind. The three companies have also agreed to a series of processes and protocols and are using a custom-built workflow to improve process speed and communication.
Currently, this is a unique service available to Connells Group customers buying a property through the iamsold Auction service. However, all three brands are looking to roll out the service more widely, with Connells Group starting a new trial on its private treaty Home Conveyancing Panel.
“This partnership is a brilliant example of how much control the leading players in the industry have over the property transaction process,” commented Nick Hale, CEO at Movera. “It also highlights the impact that investing in the right people and technology can make to the home moving journey. While we embrace the government’s proposal to speed up the housing market using digital tools and upfront data sharing, we can’t just sit back and wait for the sector to change around us. As a collective we are already innovating and achieving outstanding results for our customers.”
Jean Coughlan, Home Conveyancing Director at Connells Group said, “When we sat down with the teams from Movera and iamproperty eighteen months ago, we picked apart the conveyancing process – what is great about it but more importantly what needed to change. We mapped out at a truly granular level the vendor journey, the buyer journey and the different case touch points. It was something we had tried to do before, but this time we had the right people in the room, with a shared commitment to collaboration and using digital solutions to change the home moving process for our customers. The results speak for themselves.”
Julian Lavender, Corporate Accounts Director at iamproperty commented, “For our conveyancing business, a lack of communication with the other conveyancing firm on a case has always been our biggest pain point. This partnership with Movera and Connells has changed everything.
“Now, on each transaction, we have two conveyancers working together, talking to each other, problem solving. As a pair they are building a relationship across brands with a commitment to work as one. Not only has it revolutionised the process, but we have people queuing up to work on those teams. It just goes to show that by combining the right technology, processes and people with a shared mindset, we can really make a difference to the home moving process.”
Since the inception of the partnership, the dedicated teams have completed 614 cases with an average time taken between receipt of the draft contract pack and completion is 47 days. A sign of the high levels of service this collaboration is generating, the teams have an average CSAT score of 88% and NPS score of +84.
