- Financial benefits: there is no need to pay for estate agent fees and we’ll provide up to £1,000 towards solicitor fees*.
- A smooth move: our part exchange offer includes a free specialist removals service
Part Exchange in just 3 simple steps:
- Valuation:
Three independent local estate agents and a surveyor will value your property. - Offer:
You’ll receive an offer from us based on these valuations. There’s no obligation to accept, and you may get a higher price on the open market. It’s up to you whether the benefits of part exchange outweigh this. - Sold:
Should you accept this offer, we’ll work with your legal representatives to finalise the contracts — and even contribute £1,000 towards your solicitor fees*.
