Break the chain with Crest Nicholson

Moving home can be stressful at the best of times and property chains can lock families into relationships with complete strangers which can too easily fall apart at the final stages.

Crest Nicholson’s Part Exchange Scheme helps remove these problems, as Devizes residents Mike and Natalie Strong found out. The Scheme, which removes the pressures of finding a buyer for your existing home, is a great way to propel your climb up the property ladder, especially during the current climate – exactly what the Strong family were keen to do.

Mike and Natalie Strong, together with their two children, wanted to move from their town house in Swindon and so started looking for a more spacious property and found out that using Part Exchange could speed up the whole process whilst still allowing them to secure their ideal home.

Mike (42), who works as a Business Development Manager for a national recruitment agency, said: “We were attracted to Devizes because of the good secondary schools and the feeling of the town which is small enough to have a community feel but still offers lots of amenities such as supermarkets, shops and schools, in addition to lots of space and beautiful countryside on your doorstep.

“We knew that we wanted to upsize from our three bedroom town house in Swindon so we initially started looking for a home in Tetbury and were impressed by the quality of Crest Nicholson’s homes. We were told about the company’s development in Devizes and were delighted when we found our ideal home, the four bedroom Edington, which fell within our price range. We were told about the Part Exchange Scheme and thought it would be the perfect for us.

“There are many things we love about the house, including the large garden which gives the boys, who are nine and eleven, some space to kick a ball about. The four bedrooms are all very spacious including a large kitchen and separate dining area which we were looking for. The added bonus was we got a utility room and a study which is very useful for me as it enables me to work from home.

“What attracted us to the Part Exchange Scheme was the simplicity and potential speed of the process, in fact, from the offer being accepted to moving in only took five weeks. It takes away the hassle of selling your own home as Crest Nicholson looks after all of this. The sales staff and site manager at Devizes were excellent and couldn’t have been more helpful which made the whole process even easier.”

The process is simple with potential purchasers first identifying the Crest Nicholson property they wish to buy then the Company will arrange for three independent local estate agents to value their existing home. Providing the home meets the terms and conditions required for the part exchange, Crest Nicholson will make an offer on the property. Once the offer is accepted customers can reserve their brand new home without the additional cost of a Home Information Pack or any agents’ fees to pay.

Laura Osborne, Area Sales Manager for Crest Nicholson, commented: “The Part Exchange Scheme at Devizes offers an ideal solution for homebuyers looking to upsize and provides an immediate cash buyer for their home. This can give homebuyers extra piece of mind by removing complicated chain delays and breakdowns, often significantly reducing the time it takes to move into their dream home.”

Crest Nicholson at Devizes is a collection of 151 contemporary homes, ranging from three to five bedroom properties. The development is situated on the edge of the Kennet and Avon canal with a number of homes benefitting from views over the water. Conveniently close to the town centre, residents can take advantage of market town living and enjoy the many independent shops and bistros, not forgetting the weekly market, which are all within easy walking distance.
