House swaps set a new trend for movers in Hornchurch

Savvy house-hunters can take advantage of a hugely popular part-exchange scheme and swap their old property for a brand new home at the Harrow Lodge development in the London Borough of Havering.

George Wimpey North Thames is offering part-exchange on a selection of its new homes at Harrow Lodge in Hornchurch, helping busy people make a quick and easy move.

Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Part-exchange is already proving hugely popular at our new homes developments across the North Thames region and so we’re delighted to extend the scheme to the new homes at Harrow Lodge.

“The scheme means that homeowners won’t have to worry about finding a buyer for their current property. Instead we will purchase it from them for an agreed price, enabling them to make a hassle-free move to Harrow Lodge.

“But with a limited number of homes available under this popular part-exchange offer, customers hoping to secure their dream home will have to act quickly.”

Just one of the houses available under the scheme is the spacious three-bedroom ‘Manningford’, with a magnificent open-plan kitchen and dining room at its heart to make it the ideal choice for families and for those who enjoy entertaining friends at home.

The ground floor of the ‘Manningford’ is completed by a light and airy reception room with a contemporary bay window to the front, a cloakroom off the entrance hallway, an integral garage and a private rear garden accessed through French doors from the dining room.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three generously proportioned bedrooms – one with en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes – and a main bathroom.

The ‘Manningford’ is available from only £360,000, while fast-movers can alternatively choose the versatile three-bedroom ‘Chadwick’ townhouse from just £315,000 or the sumptuous four-bedroom ‘Alverton’ priced from £375,000.

Meanwhile, one quick-off-the-mark customer can secure the delightful detached ‘Chadwick’ at Plot 11 of the development for just £329,950 – and move in time for Christmas.

With a beautiful ground floor kitchen/dining room and a comfortable first floor lounge, as well as three good-sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, the ‘Chadwick’ is ideal for families seeking extra space and home comforts ready for the festive break.

As an alternative to part-exchange, George Wimpey also offers a range of tailor-made deals for first-time buyers and those with a home to sell. Further details are available from the Sales Executive.
