Unlock a move up the property ladder

With part exchange now available those with a home of their own to sell could find they’re able to move to Scholars Gate in Wakefield sooner rather than later.

The Redrow development in Ruskin Avenue features a choice of three and four-bedroom homes from the sought-after New Heritage Collection.

They’re ideal for those who want to climb the property ladder and thanks to part exchange, home owners will be able to enjoy a quick and easy move from old to new.

Patsy Aicken, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire), commented: “People have been keen to see inside the show homes at Scholars Gate and while they love the layouts and the quality of finish, many have properties of their own to sell. According to home.co.uk the average house in Wakefield is on the market for the best part of a year before it’s sold, so we can appreciate that people are cautious about committing to buy. With that in mind we’ve introduced part exchange to help speed up the process. Effectively we’ll buy the customer’s old home so they’re free to purchase one of ours. There are no agent’s fees to pay and no complicated chains to hold them back from moving.”

Among the properties available with part exchange is plot 206 the four-bedroom Cambridge, similar to one of the show homes, and on the market at £294,999.

It’s now ready and waiting to be occupied and with the help of part exchange, the lucky buyer could move in before Christmas.

Like all new Redrow homes, the Cambridge enjoys a convivial open plan layout that puts the kitchen at the heart of the home. The combined kitchen, dining room and family area spans the width of the property and is a really inviting, sociable space where families can gather and spend real quality time together.

There’s also a separate lounge, a handy utility to keep the washer and dryer out of the kitchen, plus downstairs cloaks.

Designed with modern family living in mind, the homes at Scholars Gate won’t need lots of repairs or renovations before they can be occupied. They’re also easy to manage and efficient to run.

Patsy explained: “Well insulated with double glazing and central heating included as standard, our new homes are around 40% more energy efficient than homes built just 10 years ago. It means householders won’t have to worry about turning up the heating to keep warm this winter and could find they save money on their fuel bills.”

Scholars Gate enjoys easy access to Wakefield town centre with an array of shopping and leisure facilities. The area boasts excellent motorway links across the north of England, making the new homes a great base for commuters, while nearby Outwood Station offers rapid trains to Leeds in just 15 minutes.

To discover how part exchange could help you climb the property ladder, visit Scholars Gate, where the show homes are open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
