Walton Homes puts the welcome mat out for part-ex customers
19th October 2012
House hunters in Armitage are being given the chance to learn about the benefits associated with purchasing a property through a part exchange scheme, at a special open day next weekend (Saturday 20th October).
The open day is being led by the UK’s largest part exchange company, Quick Move Properties and local housebuilder Walton Homes. Open to everyone looking for a new house in the area, the drop-in question and answer session is being held at Walton’s exclusive Appledore development on New Road in Armitage, between 11am and 5pm.
The housebuilder’s own part exchange scheme – which has been developed in association with Quick Move Properties – was launched at Appledore last month, allowing house hunters to use their existing property as part payment for one of the luxury homes.
Mark O’Dwyer, business manager at Quick Move Properties said: “People searching for a new home come face to face with an abundance of schemes and new initiatives that all say they can make it easier for them to buy a new property. The trick is, learning which scheme gives the benefits that you really need. Part exchange is great for those looking to move up the property ladder, especially if the sale of their home is taking longer than expected.
“Many might worry that the valuation given on the property will be lower than they are expecting, but under Quick Move Properties and Walton Homes’ part exchange scheme we obtain fair valuations from independent estate agents, meaning we can make an offer that is representative of the property’s true value.
“This open day will give house hunters a chance to get to grips with part exchange and find out if it is something that could work for them.”
Under the part exchange scheme available at Appledore, Walton Homes and Quick Move Properties obtain two independent valuations of the purchaser’s existing property, gaining a fair representation of the property’s value. A formal offer is then made and, upon acceptance by the homeowner, a solicitor is instructed to complete the sale. An agreed date is set for completion and the new purchaser is free to move into their new home.
Helen Rollason, sales manager at Walton Homes, added: “Appledore is a beautiful development that benefits from being located in the picturesque village of Armitage. It is the perfect for site for growing families and for those househunters looking for a larger and more luxurious home – without the hefty price tag!
“Hopefully, our part exchange scheme will give people looking to buy their second or third home in the local area a new lease of confidence in selling their existing property. I would encourage anybody who wants to know more about part exchange to pop along to the open day and explore the different options available at Appledore.”
The Appledore development boasts a selection of just nine three and four bedroom detached houses – all individually designed. The family sized properties have been built with high quality fixtures and fittings, including contemporary kitchens and modern bathrooms – not to mention that each house benefits from a secure garage and spacious garden. Prices for the new build homes start from just £209,950 for the three bedroom property.
The Appledore marketing suite is open from 11am – 5pm Thursday to Monday, inclusive of Saturday and Sunday. For further information contact the sales team on 01543 493641, or alternatively log onto www.waltonhomes.co.uk.
