Part-exchange is hassle-free way to a bigger home

If you're planning to move up the property ladder but can't sell your current house, Barratt could smooth the way with its new and improved part-exchange offer.

Barratt has been offering the scheme nationally for more than 30 years and thousands of buyers have already taken advantage of it. It is now available with an added incentive on homes at a range of developments in the region.

As part of the relaunched offer Barratt will buy your current home at full market value so that you are free to buy one of their brand new homes.

This means that you will be able to move quickly without the hassle of a chain and you can stay in your old property right up until your new one is ready.

As an additional incentive, complete by 20th June 2008 and Barratt will pay your mortgage for you until January 2009.

Andrea Pilgrim from Barratt, said: "We know that moving house can have difficulties such as finding a buyer and chains breaking."

"Barratt's part-exchange offer removes all this uncertainty. Just like trading in your old car when you buy a new model, we effectively buy your old home for cash, enabling you to relax without the worry and cost of selling a property."
