The part-exchange scheme, available at Morris’ popular The Point development, West Derby, guarantees homebuyers a sale for their existing property in just seven days – shaving an average 255 days off the moving process*.
If buyers also choose one of Morris’ ready-built stock properties, then they could even be settled in their new home within four weeks.
Chris Minshall, sales director for Morris Homes, explains: “The average semi-detached property in Liverpool is on the market for 262 days.
“This means that if you were to put you house on the market on October 1st this year the house would still be up for sale on 21st June 2011. By taking advantage of one the Morris incentives, you could be settled in you new home in time to enjoy Christmas.
“Under the 100 per cent part-exchange scheme, you don’t have to pay estate agency fees, you’ll get 100% of your property’s market value and, best of all, it cuts out the dreaded property chain.”
Morris has put together the following handy guide to help homebuyers in Liverpool choose the right moving scheme and speed of buying for them:
Part-exchange
Morris will buy your existing property for 100% of its market value – leaving you free to move into your new home as soon as it is ready. You won’t need to pay estate agents fees and the scheme removes the hassle of the property chain.
Speed to move: You’ll be given an offer on your property within seven days. If you choose a stock property (see below) you could be settled in your new home within four weeks. Otherwise, you can stay in your existing property until your new home is ready.
Agency
Under the agency scheme, Morris will reserve your chosen property for up to six weeks. During this time you’ll have Morris’ property experts working with the region’s leading estate agents to sell your existing home – taking the pressure off you. In addition, Morris will pay your estate agency fees – cutting the cost of moving.
Speed to move: Morris will aim to sell your existing property within six weeks – cutting the average move by four and a half months.
Chain Breaker
If you have sold your home and found a new dream property at a Morris development but are being held-up by a slow property chain, then ask your sales advisor about the chain breaker scheme. Morris may be able to buy one of the homes in your property chain to get everything moving again.
Speed to move: The struggling homeowners will receive an offer from Morris within seven days.
Stock properties
Stock properties are homes that have already been built and are ready to move into. Housebuilders often have one or two stock properties on each development and choosing these can really cut your moving time.
Speed to move: As little as four weeks, depending on whether you have a property to sell
