After months of rigorous internal and external testing, CentreMove has just begun putting its first live, sale-agreed transactions through the platform end to end, and the early results confirm exactly what all that testing predicted: property moves that would normally take the best part of half a year can now be completed in a matter…
There are moments in a young company’s life that matter more than any pitch deck ever could, and this is one of them. CentreMove, the UK proptech platform built to end the long, silent wait at the heart of buying, selling and investing in property, has just begun putting its first live transactions through the platform – the opening stage of a wider rollout, and the first real-world proof of what months of testing have been building towards.
Not a demo. Not a simulation. Real chains, real solicitors, real buyers, sellers and investors, watching their own move happen in real time instead of guessing at it from the other end of a phone line, from offer through to completion, start to finish, on the platform itself.
CentreMove was founded to fix one of property’s oldest problems: the long, opaque wait between offer and completion, where every party in a chain is left chasing updates with no shared view of where a deal actually stands. It’s a problem that cuts across the whole industry, whether it’s a residential sale, a commercial letting, or a portfolio being acquired by an investor, and the platform replaces that guesswork with a single, real-time timeline that agents, solicitors, buyers, sellers, landlords and investors can all see at once – which is exactly why the numbers below matter so much.
And the numbers are, frankly, the ones every founder dreams of writing in a press release. Where the industry standard sees property transactions, residential or commercial, drag on for four to six months, CentreMove can now move a transaction through in a matter of weeks.
Months of testing is the reason this claim can be made
None of this happened by accident, and none of it is a promise made on faith. CentreMove’s team has spent months running the platform through rigorous internal testing and controlled external trials with real agents and solicitors, refining the platform transaction by transaction until the result held up consistently, not just once, but every time. It is that testing, more than anything else, that gives the team the confidence to say out loud and on the record what most proptech companies only ever hint at: this works, weeks not months, and there is proof to show for it, even as the very first live transactions are only just beginning to move through the platform.

The buzz building around CentreMove
The timing could hardly be better. CentreMove arrives at this milestone fresh from PropTech Connect, where two packed days of investor and agent meetings made it clear just how much appetite there is for a platform that finally delivers on proptech’s oldest promise. Conversations that started on the exhibition floor are already turning into serious follow-ups, and the industry chatter has been impossible to miss.
That’s no accident either. Everyone who has ever bought, sold, let or invested in property, residential or commercial, understands the problem instantly, and everyone who hears CentreMove has already solved it wants to know more. It’s the rarest kind of pitch: one that needs almost no explaining.
“We’ve spent months quietly proving this would work before we said a word about it publicly. Now it’s live, it’s real, and it’s fast. Honestly, this is the best week CentreMove has ever had.”
Gordon Sewell, Co-Founder & CEO, CentreMove
“Watching the first transactions move through the platform in real time, at the speed we always believed was possible, is the moment every number on a spreadsheet finally becomes real. This is proof, not a projection.”
Wayne Quinn, Co-Founder & CFO, CentreMove
“The energy coming out of PropTech Connect has been incredible, and now we get to follow it up with the only thing that really matters: results. Weeks, not months, and we can prove it.”
Jennifer Sewell, Co-Founder & COO, CentreMove
What happens next
CentreMove’s first cohort of live transactions is expected to complete over the coming weeks, with results published as fully documented, dated and verifiable case studies. From there, the plan is simple: onboard more agents, complete more transactions, and let the results keep doing the talking, exactly as they have from day one.
The wait is over, and it shows
For years, “it just takes months” has been the answer every home mover, landlord, investor and business in Britain has been forced to accept, whatever corner of the property market they’re in. CentreMove has just proven it doesn’t have to be. That’s not a marketing line. It’s what’s happening on the platform right now.
