Make an exchange for the better in Kesgrave

Choosing to part-exchange your existing property is a great way to take the stress out of the housing chain and is the perfect choice for potential movers - especially in light of recent research which says people are finding it harder to sell their existing home.

Opting to part-exchange will see Redrow buying a customer's current house (subject to criteria) and effectively ‘swapping' it for a new home; meaning a guaranteed, quick and easy sale, minus the worry of being stuck in a housing chain that's going nowhere or might even collapse.

It could be a lifeline for potential customers who want to buy one of the last remaining new homes at Redrow's Oakside Park in Kesgrave, near Ipswich Suffolk.

Beryl Williams, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Eastern) says: "According to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the number of housing transactions hit an all time low in June, but why worry about selling your existing home when Redrow can do it for you?

"Some people are reluctant to put their existing property on the market in the first place because they ‘think' they won't find a buyer. Our ability to potentially accept their home in part exchange on selected plots removes this barrier right away."

Part exchange also removes the threat of being ‘gazundered'- a trend that hasn't really surfaced since the 1990s but is now increasing - where a buyer substantially lowers their offer just days before the exchange and the seller must either accept the lower figure, or reject it and start the entire sales process all over again.

And part exchange is just one of the ways Redrow can help get people moving, with a whole package of support, advice and incentives under the umbrella of ‘re:assure from Redrow' - all of them designed to make moving as easy as possible from the moment of enquiry right through until after the customer has settled in. Other options include a mortgage subsidy or help with a deposit, stamp duty, legal fees or other moving costs.

Part exchange will be considered, subject to conditions, on the remaining six properties at Oakside Park, all of which are ready and waiting to move into and offer a choice of three, four and five-bedroom accommodation from £220,000 to £305,995.

They include the ‘Wharfe', a beautiful five-bedroom detached home with a detached single garage. This stylish property is arranged over three floors and features two bathrooms and one en-suite, a walk-in wardrobe, separate dining room and utility room, and is priced from £299,995.

Oakside Park is located just four miles east of Ipswich town benefiting from urban and rural lifestyles as the development borders the countryside and is also in close proximity to coastal areas.

The location is ideal for commuters as the nearby A12 gives access to Colchester and London to the south and much of Suffolk to the north. Ipswich railway station offers frequent services to Colchester, which can be reached in approximately 20 minutes, and London Liverpool Street in around one hour 20 minutes.

The last remaining homes at Oakside Park are being marketed from Redrow's new Bramford Gardens development in Ipswich. For further information, log on to Redrow.co.uk.
