Upgrade your home with new for old in Bristol

Swapping your existing property for a brand new home in Filton is a quick, stress-free and appealing solution, especially when it’s taking vendors nearly three months to find a buyer for themselves.

Latest figures from Hometrack show that the average length of time taken to sell a house in the south west of England is over 10 weeks; and it takes an average of almost 14 viewings to achieve each sale.

It’s great news then that Redrow Homes is offering part-exchange at its Cheswick ‘village’ venture in Filton, north of Bristol, where homebuyers can take advantage of the chance to swap new for old, so they can move virtually straight away.

Award-winning Redrow offers part-exchange on selected plots, effectively acting as a cash buyer for the customer’s existing property, subject to criteria. It takes the problem of finding a buyer or being stuck in a housing chain out of the customer’s hands and paves the way towards that longed-for new home.

Philippa Groves, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “Part-exchange is perfect for people who want to move right away, but are being held back by their current house. We take any hassle out of their hands so they can concentrate on their all-new Redrow home.

“They will also enjoy all the other benefits that come with owning a new home such as improved energy efficiency and cheaper running costs, no costly renovations or upkeep and no living with a previous owner’s decorating disasters.”

The opportunity to part-exchange is currently available on the impressive four-bedroom Caxton townhouses currently priced from £249,950. These homes boast Redrow’s desirable new interior specification, including convivial open-plan living spaces and contemporary kitchens with floor to ceiling units and top brand name integrated appliances.

Being able to part-exchange gives new homes a big advantage over the second hand sector in the current economic climate, with Redrow also able to provide access to a network of financial and legal advisers to help customers find the best mortgage for their circumstances and to ensure the move goes smoothly.

Set in leafy surroundings in Filton, just a few miles from Bristol city centre, Cheswick will be made up of several smaller ‘villages’, the first of which is Tallsticks. Once complete, the development will boast shops, places to eat and all the local amenities of an established residential neighbourhood.

The beautiful Caxton show home at Cheswick is open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
