A hassle-free way to a bigger home?

If you're planning to move up the property ladder but can't sell your current house, Barratt Mercia could smooth the way with their new and improved part-exchange offer.

Barratt has been offering the scheme nationally for more than 30 years and thousands of buyers have already taken advantage of it. It is now available with an added incentive on homes at Barratt's new home developments throughout Warwickshire.

* Barratt will buy your current home at full market value so that you are free to buy one of their brand new homes.
* You will be able to move quickly without the hassle of a chain.
* You can stay in your old property right up until your new one is ready.
* As an additional incentive, complete by 20th June 2008 and Barratt will pay your mortgage for you until January 2009. This is based on a maximum 90 per cent loan, over a 25-year interest only mortgage, on a maximum loan of £350,000 at a maximum representative rate of six per cent fixed for two years.
* There's no hassle, no estate agent fees or last minute haggling over price.

Chris Ashmore, Sales Director for Barratt said: "We know that moving house can have difficulties such as finding a buyer and chains breaking.

"Barratt's part-exchange offer removes all this uncertainty. Just like trading in your old car when you buy a new model, we effectively buy your old home for cash, enabling you to relax without the worry and cost of selling a property."
