Part-exchange scheme drives momentum to move

In the current market, part exchange* is proving a lifeline for some buyers and Linden Homes Chiltern is offering this as an option to purchase a new home at its increasingly popular development, The Grange, in Farnham Royal.

Emma and Richard Hourston had been thinking about moving for a couple of years, but due to a busy lifestyle with three children it was difficult to find the time. However, on discovery of the Part-Exchange scheme* at the Linden Homes Chiltern development in Farnham Royal the Hourston’s realised their dream could become a reality.

With the Part-Exchange scheme*, Linden Homes became their guaranteed buyer and took responsibility for selling their existing home allowing the family to move to Farnham Royal at the beginning of February when the plot was complete after buying off-plan in August last year.

Emma comments: “I used to drive past the Grange almost everyday and have a friend who lives adjacent to the development. We were keen to move to Farnham Royal to be closer to the schools our children attend and taking advantage of the Part-Exchange scheme* presented the perfect opportunity. It gave us the confidence to move now rather than wait any longer and encouraged us to leave our existing property, a three bed mid-terrace to move to a four-bed mid terrace at The Grange.

“The scheme suited us really well. If we had chosen to sell our house in a traditional way using estate agents, it would have been difficult to keep the house tidy for viewings with three active children. It also gave us enough time to prepare for the move, the timing worked really well for us. We found the move extremely stress free and the Linden staff managed the whole process for us. Instead of making several calls to mortgage advisors, estate agents and solicitors we only had to make one and got all the answers we needed straight away. There was no need to register with estate agents, arrange viewings for prospective buyers or negotiate potential offers.

“Farnham Royal is very friendly with accessible parks which are fantastic for the children. The garden was fully turfed on arrival, which meant that we had little work to do other than put our own stamp on it which I am sure the children will help with.”

Helen Todd, Sales & Marketing Director of Linden Homes Chiltern, adds: “Homebuyers want as much financial and timescale security as possible. The scheme we are offering is helping people who need to move who may otherwise have delayed.

“Also if the home of their choice is ready to move into and they have agreed to the scheme, we then sell their existing home once they have moved out. This takes away any unnecessary stress for the seller while preparing for the move.”

The Linden Part-Exchange scheme is ideal for homebuyers looking to move up the property ladder who have little spare time to spend selling their property, enabling them to benefit from a quick and easy move.

Benefits of the Linden Part-Exchange scheme* include:

1 - Valuations carried out by three independent estate agents within seven days, once a price is agreed Linden become your guaranteed buyer

2 - No hassle of dealing with estate agents and no fees to pay

3 - No Home Information Pack (HIP) to arrange or pay for

4 - No fears of chains collapsing at the last minute or being gazumped
