Swap your old home for a new one in Chorley

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 in the north of England has risen by almost 50% in the last year to 12 weeks; and it now takes an average of 13.1 viewings to achieve each sale.

So it’s good news then that award-winning Redrow is giving buyers at its Buckshaw Village venture, in Chorley, the opportunity to swap new for old using part-exchange - allowing them to move virtually straight away.

Available on selected detached properties, 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.

Lesley Myers, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (North), 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.

Part exchange is available on a selection of four-bedroom detached homes at Buckshaw Village, which offer space and style in abundance.

Buckshaw Village is a major regeneration project, which is successfully delivering over 2,000 quality-built homes and creating a thriving community between the bustling towns of Chorley and Leyland.

Along with the new homes, there is a successful business park and proposals for a district shopping centre, provision for a new railway station with park and ride facilities, a primary school, health centre and outdoor sports amenities.
