Buy and sell in one easy move says Barratt

Appointing Barratt as your ‘estate agent' to sell your house when you want to buy a brand new Barratt property may seem unusual - but more and more people are discovering it can be a smart way to buy and sell in one easy move.

By taking advantage of the housebuilder's completely free Agency Selling Service buyers can save time, money and hassle and obtain full market value for their old house, when purchasing a Barratt home. Barratt will also arrange and pay for a Home Information Pack and legal fees.

At its Okehampton development Broome Park Barratt is offering the service on a range of three and four bedroom contemporary homes.

Barratt arranges for an independent professional valuation of an existing house and agrees a realistic asking price before marketing it professionally, preparing sales literature, arranging advertising and putting up a ‘For Sale' board. Once a buyer has been found the sale is smoothly progressed, and when the new home is ready, the move goes ahead.

Barratt sales director Caroline Hill said: "Our Agency Selling Service has been popular for many years as buyers can secure the new Barratt home they want, on the plot of their choice, while we get on with selling your old one."

Current availability at Broome Park includes the three bedroom, three storey townhouse with garage at £206,950; and the four bedroom Radleigh detached house at £311,000.
