1. Do developers offer you full market value for your home?
Many customers worry that using a scheme such as Part Exchange will leave them shortchanged, regardless of the other benefits it provides. However, our Part Exchange team is trained to ensure you get the best possible deal. We arrange for two local estate agents to evaluate your existing property, at no cost to you. This ensures that we get an accurate reflection of the value of your home from the local experts, just as you would if you visited the estate agents yourself. As a result, you get 100% of the market value and can often expect an offer within 48 hours.
2. Will you have to leave your existing house before the new home is ready?
With our Part Exchange scheme, you can stay in your existing home until your new home is ready, with no pressure from a chain. You won’t be left without a home at any point during the exchange process. If for any reason your mortgage offer expires before your new home is ready, we will help you seek a lender’s extension on either a month-to-month or six-month basis.
In fact, the key benefit of Part Exchange is the level of security it offers. With Harron as a cash buyer, the chain that usually leaves buyers so dependent on others is removed: there is no concern about the sale falling through later down the line, and no need to worry about trying to sell and buy all at the same time.
3. Is using a buying scheme complex?
One of the few builders with an in-house Part Exchange team, Harron makes using the scheme as easy as possible. Customers who choose Part Exchange have the benefit of being able to directly contact our Part Exchange manager with any questions or concerns, all while receiving timely updates on the progress of the exchange. It is designed to be simple, accessible, and easy, allowing you to relax while you plan for your move into your new home.
4. Is Part Exchange expensive?
Harron pays the estate agent fees, and there is no fee for our service, which means you save thousands of pounds on your move. In addition, you are not reliant upon a chain, nor are you at risk of your sale falling through. Because of this, you’re saved from the hassle of having to arrange and rearrange countless viewings, and you won’t have to defer your move. Far from being expensive, Part Exchange saves you both time and money.
5. What restrictions does Harron Homes have on properties it will buy?
Unlike many other housebuilders, Harron’s team is not limited to purchasing specific types of properties, whether your current home is a leasehold, an apartment, or even an ex-local authority property. If it is located somewhere in England, we are open to buying it.
Darren Harley, Part Exchange Manager for Harron Homes Yorkshire, said:
“At Harron Homes, we are dedicated to ensuring the house-buying process is as simple and efficient as possible. Of all our schemes, Part Exchange is particularly popular. For buyers who have an existing property to sell, the scheme helps them secure a Harron home without any of the hassle and stress of having to sell their own. It’s designed to be simple, affordable, and convenient, and I encourage homebuyers to take advantage of it.”
