SHP will give buyers the opportunity to participate in a simple, quick and cost-effective part exchange at an agreed fixed fee paid for by the developer that includes fees for estate agent services (for property valuation), solicitors, HIP pack, survey, insurance and interest costs.
The scheme allows any home buyer that is looking at a new build property from an approved property developer to:
* Save on estate agency fees to selling their own property
* Achieve full market value for their property
* Agree a sale within four days
* Sell properties that may fall outside of the developer's own part-exchange policies
Other benefits for the part exchange buyer include:
* Certainty of purchasing their new home
* Purchase can be made as quickly or slowly as chain requires it to move
* Flexibility around moving dates
* Hassle free buying and selling experience
Robin King, director, movewithus, commented: "Many people opt for a new build property because it is more convenient than older homes; however this convenience is often hampered at the first engagement due to issues selling their own homes, especially in the current market. As we are experts in selling properties, and developers are experts in building them, we have developed a scheme that plays to each other's skills – we buy the properties and the developer helps fund this. They can afford to do this as it saves having valuable monies tied up in 'second hand' property, a win, win, win situation."
