Homebuyers looking for a stress-free home move should look no further than to Barratt North Midlands’ developments in Lincolnshire, where homebuyers can take advantage of the housebuilder’s part-exchange scheme.
Part-exchange is a fantastic scheme which allows homebuyers to move to a larger home without any of the worry or hassle. All homebuyers have to do is reserve their preferred plot, Barratt will then arrange for two independent valuations so that a fair market value can be offered on the property.
As soon as this is accepted and the new home is ready, the purchaser can move straight in. With the scheme, there are no estate agent fees to pay, no viewings to arrange and because Barratt is effectively a cash buyer, there is no chance of the chain falling apart at the last minute.
Paula Goodall, Part-Exchange Manager for Barratt North Midlands explained, “Moving to a new home can be an exciting, but sometime stressful experience, especially when it comes to selling the old home. However, our part-exchange scheme takes away much of this hassle and means that homebuyers can let us do all the hard work.
“Because we buy your old home, the scheme is a relatively stress-free move up the property ladder. Plus, there are many other advantages including the fact that you have a guaranteed buyer, no estate agent fees to pay, it completely removes the chain plus you don’t have to worry about a Home Information Pack as we’ll take care of it for you.
“There are however some things that purchasers can do to ensure that the process runs smoothly, therefore we are offering homebuyers our top tips for part-exchanging to a brand new home.”
1. Speak to an Independent Financial Advisor.
As with any purchase, before making any plans, it is advisable you speak to our Independent Financial Advisor to make sure you get the best mortgage deal for your circumstances and that you can afford the monthly repayments without overstretching your finances.
2. Be realistic in terms of valuations
It’s no secret that house prices have lowered recently, so with that in mind, be realistic in terms of your valuation. It could be lower than what you expected, but remember, if you were to sell on the open market, there is no guarantee you would get the price you want.
3. Keep on top of DIY
By ensuring that all DIY jobs have been finished, not only will your home be ready for marketing straight away, but it will also mean that you are maximising the value of your home. Also make sure all your paperwork and guarantees are up-to-date. For example damp prevention, timber, drains and boiler, all need to have the relevant paperwork.
4. Be accommodating for viewings
It is important to be accommodating to viewings of your home. This will mean that your old home is likely to be sold much quicker and you can move into the new house as soon as build work is complete.
5. Sit back and relax
By using our part-exchange service, we take care of all the hard work, so all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy moving into your brand new Barratt home.
