Shared real‑time visibility across every transaction is now available to buyers, sellers, and property professionals as the platform begins a phased national rollout
UK, UNITED KINGDOM, July 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CentreMove has revealed today the debut public release of what it calls the UK's first centralised property transaction platform. The system unites buyers, sellers, estate agents, conveyancers, mortgage brokers, and lenders through a single, shared source of truth.
Instead of depending on numerous phone calls, emails, and updates circulated among different organisations, CentreMove gives every approved participant live access to the same transaction. Buyers and sellers can prepare documents before conveyancing starts, track each stage of the deal, share files securely, communicate directly within the platform, and see exactly where they stand in the property chain. Estate agents, solicitors, brokers, and lenders all work from identical up‑to‑date information, cutting down on duplicated paperwork and improving cooperation throughout the moving journey.
This launch represents the first stage of a broader rollout intended to establish a centralised digital infrastructure for residential property transactions across England and Wales. Future developments will incorporate lender integrations, commercial property features, and extra workflow automation. Feedback from industry professionals will help steer subsequent releases.
The announcement arrives as the UK property market continues to grapple with high numbers of failed deals and drawn‑out completion periods. Industry figures show that nearly one in four agreed property sales in England and Wales did not complete during the early part of 2026. Separate research estimates that collapsed transactions cost the UK economy up to £2 billion annually. Santander has independently described Britain’s housing transaction process as “flawed”, putting annual costs from delays and unsuccessful sales at a minimum of £1.5 billion.
According to a 2026 study published by Legal & General, 48% of UK homeowners cited moving home as the most stressful life event they had experienced—ranking it ahead of divorce and having a child.
Jennifer Sewell, co‑founder of CentreMove, stated:
“CentreMove was built to assist the professionals already engaged in property transactions while giving buyers and sellers greater transparency along the way. Estate agents, solicitors, and brokers spend a lot of time replying to requests for updates that could already be accessible. By allowing everyone to draw from the same information, the platform aims to cut unnecessary admin, improve teamwork, and deliver a superior experience for all parties.”
The idea behind CentreMove emerged from hands‑on legal work.
Co‑founder and solicitor Gordon Sewell is currently handling an active property dispute that illustrates how quickly transactions can go awry when key information is missing or misinterpreted. In that case, a buyer asked for written confirmation that a restriction did not exist on a property before paying a substantial deposit. The purchaser reasonably relied on that response, but the restriction did exist, the mortgage application fell through, and legal proceedings ensued.
Gordon Sewell, co‑founder of CentreMove and Director of Sewell Law, said:
“For years I’ve advised clients after property transactions have gone wrong, but the common thread is rarely fraud or incompetence. More often, people are making important decisions without access to the same facts. Property has become a field where everyone holds a fragment of the picture, yet no one sees the whole deal. CentreMove was created to provide a shared source of truth, enabling buyers, sellers, and their professional teams to rely on the same trusted information throughout the process.”
Wayne Quinn, co‑founder of CentreMove, added:
“Technology has revolutionised nearly every part of daily life, yet buying and selling property still depends on disjointed communication and uncertainty. CentreMove was designed to consolidate the entire transaction in one place, giving every authorised user access to identical information so that decisions can be made earlier and with greater confidence.”
The company described today’s release as the start of a wider development effort rather than a final product. Phase Two is already in progress and will bring deeper lender integrations, commercial property capabilities, and further workflow automation.
CentreMove is inviting estate agents, conveyancers, mortgage brokers, lenders, investors, and other property professionals to take part in the early rollout. Feedback collected during this phase will guide future development as the organisation pursues its long‑term goal of becoming the UK’s centralised property transaction platform.
