Making smooth moves in Glamorgan

For home buyers in Glamorgan who want a speedy move into their dream home, house builder Redrow is offering a stress-free part-exchange option. For one couple in North Cornelly this meant they could reserve their dream home and move in right away, without the hassle of having to find a buyer for their house.

When Nick and Frances Morgan found their new Redrow home it was love at first sight. They knew they had to have it straight away and couldn’t risk losing out by having to wait until they sold their house.

The busy couple, who both work full-time and have a two-year-old son Spencer, opted to part-exchange their old three-bedroom house and, within three months of securing their new four-bedroom home on the Dôl Gorwel development, they had moved in.

Dôl Gorwel, situated in the village of North Cornelly, is just four miles from the prestigious seaside resort of Porthcawl and six miles from the bustling town of Bridgend, with all its shops, bars and restaurants.

Mum-of-one Frances, 32, said: “When we saw the development we knew it was perfect for us.

“It’s nice and private, it’s safe for Spencer and it’s on the edge of beautiful woodlands.

“But we knew there were only one or two plots that suited us so we wanted to secure one of them quickly.

“We opted to part exchange and get everything sorted as quickly as possible.”

Frances, a marketing manager at The Towers Hotel and Spa, and her quality engineer husband Nick, 39, met on holiday in Tenerife in 2001.

The happy couple are delighted with their new home, their third together, and the ease at which they were able to move.

Frances added: “We’re both really busy and don’t get much free time. It was great for us and really took the stress of selling our home away.

“We chose a new-build for the same reason. We haven’t got time to spend on doing up our house; we’d have no time left to relax. The whole package was right for us.”

The Morgan family opted for the beautiful Parrett-design four-bedroom home with an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom, an integral single garage, separate dining room, handy utility room, plenty of under stairs storage and a downstairs cloakroom.

Rachael Davies, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), says: “The part exchange option is the perfect solution for busy people like Frances and Nick who want a hassle free and fast move. We take away any of the potential stress that comes with selling your home or the threat of a chain collapsing.

“For a limited period and on selected plots, customers can swap their existing property for a brand new Redrow home, subject to meeting certain criteria, taking the problem of finding a buyer out of their hands and leaving them free to concentrate on their move to Dôl Gorwel.

“It really is a great development and we would encourage anyone to come and see for themselves what is on offer.”

As well as boasting a prime location, Dôl Gorwel features a host of elegant and stylish homes. A selection of three and four-bedroom homes are still available from £149,995 to £220,995.
