Aberdeenshire Housebuilder Seeing Popularity Of Part Exchange

With the property chain always a risk to house-hunters selling a current home to buy a new one, ‘second-steppers’ welcome the offer of Part Exchange to remove the risk of things falling through, Barratt Homes has found in Aberdeenshire.

Barratt buys the existing property, removing the need to use estate agents and pay their fees, but the housebuilder also pays a fair value for the home, allowing buyers a chain free transition to their brand new property. Once the sale is agreed, the buyer can approach their lender to conclude the purchase of their new home. This initiative applies to buyers of a new home where construction of the home is complete, or due for completion within eight weeks.
