Buck Desborough’s home selling trend

Homes in Desborough are on the market for an average of 242 days before they sell - startling news for local homeowners who really want to move up the property ladder but who are now faced with the prospect of being unable to do so until summer 2012.

However, there is a way househunters can avoid a stressful move up the property ladder and it’s as simple as taking advantage of Persimmon Homes’ Part Exchange incentive at The Grange, its development off Harborough Road in Desborough.

Persimmon’s Part Exchange scheme is widely acknowledged as being a sound and secure way of purchasing a property and a viable alternative to marketing and selling your home through an agent, as Claire Lambert, head of sales for Persimmon Homes Midlands, comments: “Purchasing any property can be a frustrating process as there are many factors that can hinder the success of a sale; a chain can often break down or a purchaser can pull out at any time, which quickly but expensively takes you right back to square one.

“With our own Part Exchange scheme, we arrange for two local estate agents to value the existing home and will make an offer based on their recommendations, eliminating a large proportion of hassle associated with moving and allowing customers to relax about the sale proceeding. What’s more, our customers won’t have to pay costly estate agent’s fees or worry about late price negotiations and last minute hitches.

“We currently have a range of three and four bedroom homes at The Grange with the offer of Part Exchange – a deal which can be completed in less a couple of months, proving that there’s absolutely no reason why anyone can’t be living in one of our brand new homes in just a few weeks time.

“This incentive has proved a lifeline for hundreds of buyers over the years. We’re here to prove that plans to move up the property ladder needn’t be put on hold as we can give aspiring buyers a boost onto the next step sooner rather than later.”

Homes at The Grange currently available with Part Exchange are priced from just £159,950.
