Moving is easy with Taylor Wimpey North Midlands

Selling your home doesn’t have to be a nightmare, explains Carl Cooke, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey North Midlands, the housebuilder behind a number of developments of property for sale in Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Birmingham and the Black Country.

Buying a new home can seem like a distant dream for many Midlands property-seekers – and not always because they’re first-time buyers struggling to purchase their first home.

Sometimes an existing home that has previously given a homeowner their foothold on the property ladder can become the problem when the time comes to sell it on and move upmarket.

The hassle involved in selling a home cannot be under-estimated – keeping it perfectly tidy and ready for viewings, the emotional stress of negotiating prices, offers falling through at the last minute – and it’s a rollercoaster that most people are glad to get off.

Unfortunately for many homeowners, this stressful state of affairs can last for far too long, with homes often remaining unsold for several months.

The fact is that one in four of Taylor Wimpey’s customers who have bought a new home this year in the North Midlands region – which includes developments of West Midlands property for sale and new homes in Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Derbyshire – had an existing property to sell, and many were frustrated by the lack of progress they had experienced in trying to sell their own homes.

However, there is an easier way to move – and that’s where schemes like Part Exchange and easymover can help those choosing selected brand new Taylor Wimpey homes.

With Part Exchange, Taylor Wimpey agrees a price for an existing property based on the average of independent valuations. With the housebuilder as their guaranteed buyer, the customer can then relax and stay in their home until their brand new place is ready to move into.

Meanwhile, with easymover, Taylor Wimpey acts as the customer’s ‘personal estate agent’ and takes all the stress and hassle out of finding a buyer for their current home.

The average selling time for easymover customers is less than five weeks – and many see their homes sold within a fortnight!

Ninety per cent of properties are sold successfully through the initiative, the typical timescale from sale to exchange of contracts is just 10 weeks, and Taylor Wimpey can even cover the cost of estate agents’ fees.

The customer stays in control of the price and doesn’t have to sell if they’re not happy – so there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain!

What’s more, a specialist house-to-home removal service will provide buyers with a fully inclusive moving package that covers full packing and unpacking, even insurance cover, all for free.

And when purchasers move into their brand new Taylor Wimpey home, they’ve got the peace of mind of Taylor Wimpey’s two-year warranty and the National House-Building Council’s ten-year Buildmark guarantee.

Selling your home doesn’t have to be one of the most stressful experiences of your life, so why not sit back and take it easy while Taylor Wimpey does all the hard work for you?
