Upgrade your home with new for old in Essex

Swapping your existing property for a brand new home in Colchester 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 UK is nearly three months; and it now takes an average of almost 13 viewings to achieve each sale.

It’s great news then that Redrow Homes is offering part exchange at The Myle in Colchester, allowing buyers to swap new for old, so they can move virtually straight away to this beautiful development that enjoys a great location.

Part-exchange sees Redrow effectively acting as a cash buyer for the customer’s existing property, subject to criteria, taking the problem of finding a buyer or being stuck in a housing chain out of the customer’s hands.

The opportunity is currently available on a selection of four-bedroom properties at The Myle, including the impressive Walkham and Tamar which are both priced at £303,000.

In addition to featuring an abundance of space expected within a family home, both properties have green views across a playing field.

Beryl Williams, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Eastern), 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 brand new home such as improved energy efficiency and with it potentially 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. We 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.”

The Myle, situated off Mill Road, is a development of one and two-bedroom apartments and three, four and five bedroom homes with prices starting from just £176,800.

It is within easy reach of Colchester town centre and there’s also convenient access to the A12, while rail links from Colchester North Station offer journey times to Ipswich of less than 20 minutes and to London Liverpool Street in about an hour.
