Make an easy move to a new property in Rochester

Taylor Wimpey’s easymover scheme takes the stress away from moving to a brand new home at the leading housebuilder’s Castle Walk development of houses for sale in Rochester, Kent.
House-hunters who dream of taking a step up the property ladder – but who are struggling to overcome the obstacle of selling their existing home – can find the solution to their problems at Taylor Wimpey’s Castle Walk development of property for sale in Rochester.
Thanks to the leading housebuilder’s fantastic easymover initiative, choosing a brand new, maintenance-free home at this prestigious village development in Lower Upnor couldn’t be more straightforward for Rochester property-seekers with a home to sell.
Under this stress-free scheme, buyers in search of houses in Rochester can take their pick from a choice of family-size homes at Castle Walk and then let Taylor Wimpey help find a buyer for their current property.
While it takes almost six months to sell a typical property in Rochester on the open market*, 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 and pay for a full removals service.
Tina Westlake, Regional Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Selling a property can be a difficult and extremely time-consuming process, and it’s something you certainly don’t want standing in your way if you’ve got your heart set on the home of your dreams.$
“With easymover, we take all the hard work away and can make all the arrangements in a matter of weeks – so all our customers have to do is sit back, relax and look forward to their move to a beautiful new home at Castle Walk.”
