“Aside from being a stress-free move up the property ladder, there are many other advantages including a guaranteed buyer, no estate agent’s fees to pay, no worry of a chain falling through and with selected homes ready built, you could move in weeks.”

For anyone considering taking advantage of this deal, Cathy is offering her top four tips to a successful Part Exchange:

1. Speak to an Independent Mortgage Adviser

As with any purchase, before making any plans it is advisable you speak to a specialist mortgage adviser to make sure you get the best deal around and that the property you’re looking at is affordable.

2. Be realistic about the valuation

We offer fair market value based on two valuations however it’s still important to be realistic about it and remember that even if you were to sell the property independently you might still have to negotiate.

3. Keep on top of DIY
