Our fully funded part exchange proposition is not only designed to help house builders and developers. It also helps home owners who want to buy a new home but cannot sell their existing property or do not have the time to sell it.
While working with the developer and the home buyer, we typically arrange two independent valuations of the property, provide a valuation report to the developer and facilitate a cash offer to the home buyer for their existing property. We also work with developers who have their own in-house part exchange schemes, offering them appraisals and comparisons while managing the sale of the existing property through a UK wide chain of group and independent estate agents.
Government initiatives relaxing planning regulations, finally appear to be filtering through. The good news came out on the 10th August in the Office of National Statistics’ Construction Index that private housing new build figures are now higher than at any point in the past 15 years. This applied both for quarter two of 2017 and for the month of June.
There has been much rhetoric on the need for new housing and it is something that consecutive governments have failed to address. There is still much more to be done but it is refreshing to see the numbers heading in the right direction.
