Two good to miss

When you think of Persimmon, chances are you automatically think of new build properties, but are you also aware that the company has an extensive portfolio of second hand properties to choose from which have been taken in under the Part Exchange and Home Change banner? Properties taken in by Persimmon all have to conform to the company's quality standards and are independently valued by two local estate agents.

In addition, Part Exchange or Home Change properties tend to be situated in proximity of active Persimmon developments which are often conveniently placed for quick and easy access to a local town and amenities.

Claire Jarvis, sales manager for Persimmon's Mercia region, comments: "Persimmon has established a solid reputation throughout the region for building high quality new build properties which is why it may come as a surprise to know that we also sell second hand homes.

"If anyone is interested in a property from our part exchange portfolio, they may also be able use our Part Exchange or Home Change incentives to help them sell their existing home - saving them time as well as money.

"As the whole process is managed by us, this eliminates a lot of the stress and hassle often associated with moving and there are clear financial benefits too as we pay agents' fees, help freeing up valuable funds which could be better spent on decorating and furnishing the new home.

"Purchasing a second hand property is often an ideal way for youngsters for example to take their first exciting step on the ladder, and what's more, with our current range of enticing incentives, moving to pastures new can be easier and more affordable than buyers imagine."

Part exchange properties currently available are currently priced from £94,950 which includes five per cent deposit paid. For further information on second hand properties available throughout the region, log on to Persimmonhomes.com.
