Part-exchange for a perfect property in St Albans

Taylor Wimpey offers would-be movers the market value of their current home off the price of selected properties at its Highfields development of houses for sale in St Albans.

Families looking to make the next link in the property chain can avoid the hassle and headache of the housing market in an instant – by part-exchanging for a brand new four-bedroom home at Taylor Wimpey’s Highfields development of new homes in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Those trading up to the substantial ‘Batchwood’ family house at plot 16 or the spacious ‘Vintry’ at plot 20 at this sought-after development of property in St Albans can take advantage of the leading housebuilder’s part-exchange scheme and let the leading housebuilder purchase their current home from them.

Knowing that they are receiving the full market value for their current home, and have a guaranteed buyer, they can keep living there until their new St Albans property is ready to move into, without the worry of their side of the property chain collapsing.

Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The process of buying and moving to a new home can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience, but our fantastic part-exchange at Highfields initiative makes moving to one of our new build homes in St Albans a doddle.

“We arrange three valuations of the purchaser’s current property, and buy it from them for an agreed price, leaving them free to move in to their new home as soon as it is ready. Part exchange is available now on just two brand new homes at Highfields, and with properties selling fast it’s an offer that won’t be around for long.

“I would urge movers to get in touch with us without delay to take advantage of this straightforward way to step up the property ladder in style.”

The four-bedroom detached ‘Batchwood’ at plot 16 offers wonderfully spacious accommodation laid out in an attractive L-shaped design to include a kitchen with family/breakfast area and a separate living room, each with French doors opening out to the private rear garden, plus a dining room and a cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
