Consider moving in at four, but that's not literal (10)

I believe the answer is:

figurative

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'that's not literal' is the definition.
('figurative' is the opposite to 'literal')

'consider moving in at four' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'at' is within the answer.
'four' could be 'iv' (Roman numerals) and 'iv' is found within the answer.
'consider' could be 'figure' (I've seen this before) and 'figure' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'but' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for figurative that I've seen before include "Metaphorical" , "Symbolic" .)
