What a difference a week makes

movewithus’ Part-exchange service is seeing phenomenal success at Redrow Homes’ Hawthorn Coppice development in the West Midlands. In difficult market conditions, Part-exchange gives customers the guarantee of a buyer for their existing property and secures the sale of a new property for the developer.
The risk associated with Part-exchange comes from the acquisition of second hand stock by the developer. However, due to their re-sale expertise, movewithus is showing that it is still possible to achieve quick sales for properties acquired by developers during Part-exchange. Mr Court, formally of Amblecoat in Stalebridge, used the movewithus Part-exchange service to move in to a Hawthorne Coppice Redrow home.
Mr Court said: “We received an independent valuation within a week of agreeing to the Part-exchange service. The last thing we wanted was to be messing around trying to arrange for the sale of our property in the run up to the festive period. I was on a really tight schedule and was particularly impressed by how movewithus dealt with the entire process.”
Not only was Mr Court completely satisfied by the service levels he received, movewithus were able to secure the sale of his former property on behalf of Redrow within just one week.
David Perrin, movewithus business development director, said: “We aim to provide a Part-exchange service which keeps customers satisfied and does not stop once the developer has acquired their property. Using our network of agents, we aggressively market the customer’s former property to achieve a quick sale, thereby freeing up the capital tied up in the stock so the developer can reinvest in their core business of new homes.”
Pauline Turnbull, Midlands sales director for Redrow Homes, added: “We’re confident in the benefits associated with owning a brand new Redrow home and want to extend that certainty to our customers who may be feeling hesitant due to gloomy market forecasts. Our Part-exchange offer, in conjunction with movewithus, guarantees a quick and effortless sale with no anxiety about the chain breaking. Free from all this concern, our customers can sit back and enjoy their move.”
