Moving house has never been easier with part-exchange at Harrow Lodge

It’s often said that moving house is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through in their life – and for anyone who has suffered the hassle and headache of trying to sell a property, this may well ring true.

In Hornchurch, part of the London borough of Havering, it takes an average of more than seven months* to sell a home on the open market and, for those who do manage to find a buyer, there is still no guarantee that their asking price will be met.

However, movers can cut out estate agency fees and all the stress and uncertainty of selling their existing property – including the worry of their buyer backing out – by choosing from a selected range of homes now available at George Wimpey’s popular Harrow Lodge development in Hornchurch.

Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Many people who dream of upgrading to a larger, more comfortable home can be put off by the very thought of putting their existing property on the market.

“But at Harrow Lodge, it couldn’t be easier for customers to swap their old home for the brand new home of their dreams.

“Those qualifying** for the part-exchange scheme will benefit from George Wimpey acting as the guaranteed buyer for their current home, yet they can continue to live there until their new property is completed.

“Anyone who wants to find out more about our amazing part-exchange initiative should contact the Sales Executive today.”

Part-exchange is available on selected plots at this sought-after development, including the superb three-bedroom ‘Chadwick’ townhouse, priced from only £300,000 and an ideal choice for growing families.

At the heart of this stylish and contemporary home is its spacious kitchen/dining room, which opens through French doors into the private rear garden, while the entrance hall also leads to a guest cloakroom and integral garage.

Upstairs, the accommodation is generously laid out across two storeys with a large lounge benefiting from French windows to a Juliet balcony on the first floor alongside an en-suite bedroom, and the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom sharing the top floor with a further bedroom and family bathroom.

As alternatives to the ‘Chadwick’, homebuyers at Harrow Lodge can also choose the detached four-bedroom ‘Alverton’ from £375,000.

Meanwhile, the expansive four-bedroom ‘Codicote’ at Harrow Lodge is priced from £480,000, although this home is not available to purchase using part-exchange.

All new homes at the development are completed to a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Harrow Lodge comprises just 29 private three and four-bedroom houses and 15 two and three-bedroom affordable homes off Hyland Way, less than a mile from Hornchurch town centre and providing easy access to nearby schools, shops, and leisure facilities including a swimming pool, tennis courts, bowling alley, boating lake, parks and gardens.

For commuters, the nearby mainline stations of Upminster, Gidea Park and Romford put central London just 30 minutes away, while the London Underground tube stations of Elm Park and Upminster Bridge are both less than two miles from the development.

The Sales Centre at Harrow Lodge is located off Hyland Way and open 10am to 2pm on Monday and 10am to 5.30pm on Tuesday to Sunday.
