SPONSORED: Buy and sell in one easy move with Part Exchange and Barratt Homes

Buying a new home can be a stressful process, but with Barratt Homes’ Part Exchange many of these worries needn’t be necessary.

Buyers that are looking to move to a larger property and have an existing home to sell can look to use the five-star housebuilder’s scheme – an incentive which allows customers to secure a fair value (based on two independent valuations) for their current property, allowing for a quicker move with no estate agent fees or fuss.

Part Exchange is proving to be an extremely popular scheme in the north east, and is currently open to qualifying buyers at a range of Barratt Homes’ developments including Osprey Heights in Inverurie, Parkhill View near Kemnay, Kingseat close to Newmachar, Riverside Quarter in Bucksburn and Westburn Gardens in Aberdeen.

Here Barratt Homes lists its top properties available to purchase using Part Exchange at these developments.
