Part exchange proves popular in Mansfield

Part-exchange continues to prove a popular solution for many home hunters and thanks to this scheme a Nottinghamshire couple have been able to purchase their dream home at Rippon Homes’ Heathside Gardens development in Mansfield.

Steve and Kathy Calvert had been living in a three- bedroom detached bungalow in Bilsthorpe but upon visiting the development on Jubilee Way found their ideal home at plot five.

Kathy comments “As soon as we saw the development we fell in love – it’s a quiet cul-de-sac of individual detached homes and we liked the surrounding area too. The fact that there’s a golf club opposite really appealed to Steve as he’s a massive fan of the sport.

“We desperately wanted to live there but didn’t think we’d be able to move until we found out about part-exchange.”

Rippon Homes’ part-exchange deal is easy- the housebuilder will buy a homeowners existing property leaving them free to buy one of theirs. It is proving extremely popular, particularly during the current housing market, as it allows homebuyers to upgrade to a brand new home even if theirs is unsold.

Kathy adds “Thanks to part-exchange we were able to buy our dream home, it’s been a straightforward and relatively stress free process which I would recommend to anyone looking to move but has an existing property to sell.”

Part-exchange allowed the Calverts to purchase plot 5 which is a four- bedroom detached home in the style of a Rowsley. This traditional family home offers spacious accommodation and a thoughtfully planned layout that lends itself well to the demands of a modern lifestyle.

The ground floor of this design boasts a welcoming entrance hall, spacious lounge with French doors that lead onto the garden, a kitchen, separate dining room as well as a study and cloakroom. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, the master with en-suite, as well as the family bathroom.

Kathy adds “The Rowsley really stood out for us- I thought it looked like a castle and even though it’s a four- bedroom property, it’s really cosy and felt like home as soon as we moved in.”

The couple have settled in well into their new home and with three extra bedrooms they can have their daughter and granddaughter to stay without having to worry about space.

Kathy concludes “We really love our new home, it’s perfect for us and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else now.

“We’ve been really impressed with the quality of our new home and the service we’ve received from Rippon Homes. It’s a fantastic development in a great location but with the golf course across the road, Steve spends all his spare time there and it’s become a bit of a joke amongst friends that I’ve become a golfing widow- but I don’t mind because I love pottering around our new home!”

Tracey Nicholls, Sales Manager for Rippon Homes says “Part-exchange continues to prove a popular option for many home owners taking their next step up the property ladder.

“There are a number of advantages- it considerably speeds up the buying process, eliminates a lot of the stress associated with buying a new home as it totally removes the chain, or the possibility of a broken chain, it is a guaranteed sale plus it wipes out all estate agent fees.

“Unlike many of our competitors we are still offering this incentive as we are committed to providing what home buyer’s want and unquestionably they still want the part-exchange deal.
