Oakleaf home is just what the doctor ordered

Homebuyer Dr Samantha Bishop has found the perfect place to set up home in one of Barratt West Midlands Oakleaf properties on Ampleforth Drive in Stafford.
Mention of the name Barratt usually brings brand new homes to mind, but less well known is the fact that the housebuilder also sells thousands of older homes nationwide each year.

Sam, 44 explained, "I have moved home with my two daughters, Jade, 16 and Ellie, 18 and ideally I wanted to part exchange my old home and move to a larger property. I am a self employed Doctor of Child Psychology and with two teenage daughters, one studying for an Art degree and the other beginning her ‘A' levels we needed more room.

"Barratt Oakleaf's part-exchange scheme allowed me to move to a much larger property, have a spare room for two desks, for my self to work and my daughters to study, this allows me to spend more time with Ellie and Jade."

Sam bought a four-bedroom detached property comprising master bedroom with en-suite and Jacuzzi, two double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom which Sam now uses as a study. There is also a family bathroom, spacious living and dining area and stunning modern kitchen.

Sam concluded, "I have been very impressed with Barratt Oakleaf throughout the entire move process, especially with Part Exchange Manager Michelle Barnsley, who was friendly and thorough every step of the way. We were on holiday in the Caribbean for three weeks during the process and it still went through smoothly and without any problems. We were able to sit back and enjoy our holiday."

Michelle Barnsley, Part Exchange Manager for Barratt Oakleaf explained, "Oakleaf properties are homes Barratt has taken in part-exchange against brand new homes and which it offers for sale again as Oakleaf homes, at especially low prices and with other additional benefits. Extra may include cooker, fridge and washer, or carpets, or help with the deposit for first-time buyers.

"We offer these Oakleaf homes for sale at extremely competitive prices - many below market valuation - with the kind of incentives that are usually available only to purchasers of new homes."

Barratt Homes currently has a fantastic selection of Oakleaf properties for sales in a variety of locations across the West Midlands at prices starting from £89,950. For further information log on to Barratthomes.co.uk/olderhomes.
