Part exchange in demand at Meadow Rise, Stockton

While several helpful homebuying schemes have been launched recently, one that was introduced more than 30 years ago continues to prove popular.

Part exchange was first offered by Barratt Homes back in the 1970s and it remains as much in demand today as at any time since then.

“It is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners struggling to sell their current property,” says Fenton Hewitt, Sales Director at Barratt North East.

“Our 7-day service enables them to buy and sell in one easy move and they could receive up to 100 per cent market value for their old property.

“Because we are a guaranteed cash buyer, there’s no last-minute price haggling and buyers can stay in their old place until their new home is ready. We take care of everything.”

The housebuilder is offering part exchange on a three-bedroom family home at its Meadow Rise development in Stockton.

The ‘Derwent’ is from the housebuilder’s award-winning Premier Collection range.

It has a light and airy living room with separate dining area, fully-fitted kitchen with oven, hob and hood, adjacent utility room and integral garage. The master bedroom has an en suite and dressing area and there is a second double bedroom and third single, plus family bathroom.

The detached property has energy-efficient heating and double glazing, and buyers also benefit from the exclusive Barratt five-year guarantee on fixtures and fittings. It comes complete with carpets and.is priced at £148,000

“This is a terrific family home, which is ready to move into and represents outstanding value for money,” said Fenton. “I would urge anyone interested to come and talk to us now.”
