Part Exchanging To A New Home After 29 Years
While plenty of customers have found and fallen in love with their dream home during lockdown, just as many are struggling to sell their existing property. Customers looking for an easier and more affordable way to sell can learn from the experience of St Modwen Homes customers, Rosie and Paul, from Derby.
Part Exchange allows prospective customers to sell their existing home to St Modwen Homes rather than wait for a buyer. The housebuilder obtains three independent valuations from trusted agents and then agrees a fair price with the homeowner. With no estate agent fees to pay and no risk of broken chains, it really is the hassle free way of selling your home.
Customers who sign up to Part Exchange Max will have their home put on the market for a minimum of four weeks and, if their property doesn’t sell, they are guaranteed to receive the sum agreed as part of the deal with St Modwen Homes. Part Exchange Max customers also have their removal costs paid for by the company, so that’s one less thing to worry about in the run up to moving day.
After 29 years of living in the same home near Derby city centre, Rosie and Paul decided it was time for a change. The couple had not initially considered a new build property, but when they visited their nephew who lives at Hilton Valley, they were blown away.
Rosie told us: “Moving to Hilton Valley was the best decision we have ever made – we wish we did it years ago! Being closer to family was the real motivation for our move, but we hadn't even thought about buying a new-build.
“We used the Part Exchange scheme to upgrade to the four-bedroom ‘Garnet’ housetype without having to worry about selling our previous home – we couldn’t be happier.
“The sales team at Hilton Valley have been brilliant. Buying a new house after 29 years in the old one was a scary experience but Liz and Ben held our hand the whole way through the process. They really gave us the confidence that we were making the right decision. The Part Exchange scheme also took away any stress, so it was a smooth journey from start to finish.”
Hilton Valley offers a range of three- and four-bedroom homes, currently priced from £249,999. It is a development located off The Mease to the south of Hilton village, only nine miles from Derby city centre and seven miles from Burton upon Trent. There’s lots of green open space, and even has a lake on site which has been regenerated, to allow nature to thrive and homeowners to enjoy. A playground has been created for the children who live there to enjoy. The next project for the site is the regeneration of land to create woodland walks and cycle paths around the development.
Whether you’re trying to get onto the ladder, upgrade your current property or make your move as hassle-free as possible, St. Modwen Homes has solutions to help.
