For people moving up the property ladder, one of the biggest headaches is selling their existing property, being at the mercy of a property that could break at any time, even after contracts are exchanged. David Wilson Homes’ Part Exchange schemes could be the answer for house-hunters across the East Midlands.
With Part Exchange, the housebuilder is a cash buyer for the old home, eliminating a chain further down the line, and the deal can be timed to make a move straight from the current home to the new one without worrying about delays or short-term renting.
There are some excellent options at David Wilson Homes developments for upsizers across the region.
