How Our Guides Are Written
All guide articles on Moving Merchant are produced by our in-house editorial team, which includes experienced property writers and moving industry specialists. Our guides are:
- Written independently without influence from partner companies
- Based on verifiable data from regulatory bodies, government sources, and our own partner network cost data
- Reviewed regularly and updated when costs, regulations, or guidance changes
- Clearly dated so you can see when they were last reviewed
Commercial Transparency
Moving Merchant is a free service for consumers, funded through referral fees paid by partner companies when customers they've been matched with go on to book. This is a common and legitimate business model used by many comparison platforms.
This commercial relationship does not influence which companies appear in our network (all must meet our verification standards), the order in which matches are presented (determined by relevance to your location and move type), or the content of our editorial guides (written independently of our commercial team).
Data Accuracy
The cost data published on Moving Merchant is based on aggregated and anonymised data from our partner network, supplemented by publicly available pricing data. We clearly indicate the basis for any cost figures cited and update them regularly. All cost information is provided as general guidance only — actual costs will vary based on your specific circumstances.
