Konnect You: UK comparison service for removals and property professionals

Konnect You is the current trading name of Compare My Move Ltd, a British platform that connects individuals with verified companies for various services related to buying, selling and moving home. The company has been operating since 2012 and, according to its own presentation, has served more than two million people in the UK. Its model consists of collecting the user's needs and returning a selected list of professionals, rather than an open directory with no prior filtering.

Services covered by the platform

Konnect You's catalogue is organised into several areas of activity, each with subcategories and city-level coverage:

• Conveyancing: solicitors and conveyancers for buying and selling transactions, with variants for leasehold, buy to let, freehold, Help to Buy, shared ownership and right to buy, plus a specific category for first-time buyers.
• Surveying: Level 2 and Level 3 surveys and reports, snagging survey, home reports for Scotland and valuations for Help to Buy and shared ownership.
• Domestic removals: removal companies, with a long-distance option.
• International removals: moves to Spain, the United States, France, Italy, Australia and Germany.
• House clearance: clearing and emptying properties.
• Mortgage brokers: mortgage intermediaries.

The platform also segments searches by location, with specific pages for London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sheffield, Cardiff, Plymouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Colchester, Preston, Norwich, Bournemouth, Leicester and Croydon, among others.

How the matching service works

The process described by the company is structured in four steps. First, the user answers a few questions about the service they need. Then, the platform suggests professionals in their area based on those requirements, not just the postcode. Next, the user can check verified reviews, profiles and features of each company. Finally, the selected professionals contact the user, who decides who to work with and at what pace.

Verification of professionals and reviews

Konnect You maintains that every company must meet standards for verification, insurance and regulatory compliance before joining its network. Once in, the platform monitors their performance and collects customer feedback. The company states it has received 13,503 reviews and claims its service can save up to 70%, although this is the platform's own estimate.

Guides, calculators and editorial content

In addition to the matching service, Konnect You publishes guides and calculation tools aimed at property decisions. Among the available calculators are the moving cost calculator, the conveyancing calculator, the survey cost calculator and the international removal costs calculator. The guides cover topics such as what a conveyancer does, conveyancing searches, process timelines, solicitor fees when buying and selling, survey types and their costs, removals insurance or the cost of clearing a property. The company states that this content is reviewed by independent experts from the property, financial and legal sectors, and mentions among its reviewers professionals from firms such as JBGass, Wolferstans Solicitors, Precision Surveyors Ltd, Landview Surveyors, Letting Agent Today, Landlord Today and NAPB.
