Overcome Olympic-sized hurdles in selling your existing home

If you're desperate to move to a bigger place you may find there is one hurdle you just can't seem to get over - the sale of your existing home. If this is a situation you're currently finding yourself in, you need to be talking to Persimmon Homes as the UK's most successful housebuilder is offering its successful Home Change scheme across developments in South Yorkshire - an incentive designed to help customers find a buyer for their existing home.

With Home Change, customers have the security of a reserving their desired plot with the added bonus that Persimmon will handle the sale of their existing home and will even offer a guaranteed price. The property is marketed at a price agreed with the customer based on valuations from two independent estate agents and is marketed for six weeks. If the property sells, Persimmon will pay the estate agency fees and will also cover the cost of the Home Information Pack (HIP).

Lawrence McGeehan, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Yorkshire, said: "Anyone who's ever bought or sold a house knows how stressful it can be - not only do you have to find your dream home, but at the same time you have to contend with selling your existing property - and sell at a price that will enable you to move to your next one - and rarely does the timing and financing coincide.

"All too often we hear stories of house hunters who have lost out on their dream property because they couldn't sell their current home. Our Home Change scheme has been designed to smooth the process, allowing purchasers to leave their old property and their HIP in our capable hands so they can focus on the excitement of moving into a brand new home.

"This incentive has already helped hundreds of buyers across the region move quickly and to a home they really love - you too could soon become one of them."

Persimmon can not only help you change your home, the company can also help to change your fitness levels too as anyone who completes a Home Change request within the month of August will automatically be entered into a prize draw to win a Nintendo Wii and Fitness Board!
