Barratt OakLeaf homes offer special benefits

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.

These are properties 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. Extras may include cooker, fridge and washer, or carpets, or help with the deposit for first-time buyers.

Because of the continuing popularity of part-exchange in the Midlands, Barratt's part exchange manager Nicky Phillips has had to draft in new homes sales negotiator Ashley Bridges to assist with the rising number of inquiries.

"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," said Nicky.

"People often ask how we can afford to do it: they think there must be some kind of catch. However, the answer's simple. The concept of part-exchanging your present house for a brand new one has become as accepted as trading

in your car. Consequently we take in a lot of properties and we have to sell them on quickly to keep turnover high. As a result, buyers can benefit from low prices and additional incentives."

Barratt currently has a good selection of OakLeaf homes for sale in a variety of locations across the Midlands, in locations such as Wolverhampton Telford and Stafford and at prices ranging from £104,950 to £359,950. For further information visit Oakleafhomes.co.uk.
