Let Barratt sell your house free of charge

Appointing Barratt as your ‘estate agent' to sell your house when you want to buy a brand new Barratt property may seem unusual - but more and more people are discovering it can be a smart way to buy and sell in one easy move.

By taking advantage of the housebuilder's completely free Agency Selling Service buyers can save time, money and hassle and obtain full market value for their old house, when purchasing a Barratt home. Barratt will also arrange and pay for a Home Information Pack and legal fees.

At its North Petherton development Stockmoor Parade Barratt is offering the service on a range of two, three and four bedroom contemporary homes. This service also applies to Barratt's Festival development in Bridgewater on a range of two bedroom homes.

Barratt arranges for an independent professional valuation of an existing house and agrees a realistic asking price before marketing it professionally, preparing sales literature, arranging advertising and putting up a ‘For Sale' board. Once a buyer has been found the sale is smoothly progressed, and when the new home is ready, the move goes ahead.

Barratt sales director Caroline Hill said: "Our Agency Selling Service has been popular for many years as buyers can secure the new Barratt home they want, on the plot of their choice, while we get on with selling your old one."

Current availability at Stockmoor Parade includes the Suffolk, three or four bedroom townhouse with garage from £212,950.

Available at Festival is the Milton two bedroom apartment including en suite and parking at £138,950 and the two bedroom Norton apartment at £134,950.

The agency selling option is subject to terms and conditions. For further information, log on to Barratthomes.co.uk.
