Couple seal the deal at The Spires

A couple from Chesterfield have been able to satisfy their need for a bigger home thanks to Barratt North Midlands’ part-exchange scheme at The Spires development on Derby Road.

Jonathan and Katherine Smith were living in a two- bedroom townhouse in New Whittington but felt the time had come to take the next step up the property ladder as they were outgrowing their existing home.

The couple wanted to stay in the Chesterfield area to be close to Jonathan’s work and after looking around a number of new homes developments, they found the perfect place at The Spires.

38 year old Katherine comments “The Spires ticked all our boxes really. The location, number of bedrooms, a garage and of course the actual design of the home, but when we found out about part-exchange that really sealed the deal.”

Barratt’s part-exchange deals allowed the Smiths to trade in their old home for a brand new three- bedroom detached house in the style of a Jedburgh. Offering spacious accommodation and a thoughtfully planned layout, this design is ideal for couples or smaller families looking for a contemporary new home.

Katherine adds “Part-exchange made our move a lot less stressful and we didn’t need to worry about the possibility of a broken chain as Barratt were a guaranteed buyer.

“The Barratt sales advisors were very helpful throughout the entire process and any questions we had about any of the paperwork or forms, they were more than willing to lend a hand. They provided a good point of contact too, so any worries we had we knew they were always just a phone call away.”

The couple have been living in their new home since the end of March and after waiting a month to get some custom made curtains fitted, their new house is beginning to feel like home.

Katherine concludes “We’ve really settled into our new home and have enjoyed making it our own. One of the main advantages of buying a new build is that everything is brand new and we’ve enjoyed being able to move straight in without having to do any DIY!
“Our moving experience has been extremely straight forward thanks to part-exchange and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it and Barratt to family and friends.”

James Poynor, Sales Director at Barratt North Midlands, comments “Part-exchange is one of our most popular schemes as it alleviates a lot of the pressures usually associated with moving home.

“It provides a guaranteed buyer for your existing property and eliminates the chances of a broken chain which, during the current climate, has proven a lifeline for those struggling to sell.

“We pride ourselves on our customer service and I’m thrilled Katherine and Jonathan have been able to enjoy moving into their new Barratt home by leaving all the hard work to us.

“Part exchange is being offered at all our developments throughout Derbyshire, so if you want to move up to a brand new Barratt new home, visit one of our sales offices today to find out more about how we can help that dream become a reality.”

The Spires is located on Derby Road and comprises a stylish selection of one- and two- bedroom apartments and three- bedroom houses.

Prices at the development start from £106,995.
