Upgrade your home with new for old in Desborough

Swapping your existing property for a new home 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 has risen by almost 50% in the last year to 10 weeks; and it now takes an average of 12 viewings to achieve each sale.

Therefore it’s good news that Redrow is now offering part exchange at Redrow @ The Grange, in Desborough, allowing buyers to swap old for new and move to a brand new home virtually straight away.

Part exchange sees Redrow 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.

Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), 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.”

Being able to part-exchange gives developers like Redrow a big advantage over the second hand sector in the current economic climate. Redrow can also 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.

The Grange, situated off Harborough Road in Desborough, currently has a selection of three and four-bedroom homes available, with current prices starting from as little as £139,995 and rising to £217,995.

Home owners will benefit from close proximity to the amenities of Desborough and nearby Market Harborough and Kettering, plus easy access to the motorway network and major A-roads, providing links to the cities of Leicester, Peterborough and Northampton and beyond. Trains from nearby Kettering station provide journey times to London St Pancras of just over an hour, so Redrow @ The Grange can even provide a peaceful and cost-effective retreat for city commuters.
