More choice for buyers with Barratt’s Oakleaf brand

Although Barratt is known for building new homes, the housebuilder also sells thousands of older homes nationwide each year under its Oakleaf brand. These older properties are homes which Barratt has taken in part-exchange against brand new homes and which it offers for sale again as OakLeaf homes, at reasonable prices and without the hassle of estate agents fees or a property chain.

Oakleaf can also offer similar benefits to buyers of brand new homes such as help with a deposit for first time buyers plus additional extras like carpets, fridges and cookers.

To cope with the part-exchange demand in the south, Barratt has created a new role for Donna Warr as part exchange manager to head up OakLeaf and deal with the rising number of enquiries.

"We offer OakLeaf homes for sale at extremely competitive prices - many below market valuation which in the current climate is a real attraction," said Donna.

"People often ask how we can afford to do it thinking there must be some kind of catch. But the concept of part-exchanging your present house for a brand new one has become as accepted as trading in your car. We take on a lot of properties and we look to sell them on quickly to maintain our turnover. As a result - buyers can benefit from the best prices."

Barratt currently has a good selection of OakLeaf homes for sale in a variety of locations across the region and at prices ranging from £122,500. For further information visit Oakleafhomes.co.uk.
