It may now be a distant memory but, during the recession, sellers faced a hugely challenging time due to lack of suitable buyers and a stagnant property market that seemed to have no end.
Thankfully, after almost 5 dormant years, the property market has sprung back to life this year with strong demand from buyers that have fuelled sizable increases in house prices, particularly in London and the south east.
What did prove popular during the downturn, however, was the concept of Part Exchange which provided homeowners with a guaranteed sale, allowing them to realise the value of their property and enabling them to plan forward without the worry stress of fall-throughs and delays.
But, even though the market has changed markedly this year, Part Exchange is still proving popular, particularly for those people who are looking for a quick, hassle-free sale. And there are a growing number of estate agents offering part exchange as part of their everyday services.
It may seem counter-intuitive at first that estate agents should promote Part Exchange, or PX as it's often referred to, but, as their primary role is to match buyers with sellers, many see PX as another useful tool to help speed up sales, to the benefit of all parties.
At Silverbridge Properties, we've been offering Part Exchange schemes for more than a decade, working closely with some of the largest developers, estate agencies and residential park operators nationwide to help homeowners to move quickly and cost-effectively.
One particular estate agency in particular we've been working with is now actively marketing our PX schemes. Marc Allen is Hungerford's longest established independent estate agent and has been selling and letting homes in the town and the surrounding villages for over 20 years.
Whilst offering PX has been nothing new for us, we're definitely seeing an upturn in its use since our clients see it sometimes as the quickest way to complete a sale, explained Marc Allen, founder of the eponymous estate agency.
And by dealing through us, as an established estate agent, our clients feel more re-assured that the sale process is still being managed locally, added Marc.
Silverbridge Properties will consider ANY property type at ANY value and can provide an offer within 24 hours. Contracts can be exchanged within 28 days and final completion dates be can extremely flexible; particularly if customers are waiting in a chain. Silverbridge can also take the stress out of your move by allowing you to remain in your property for up to 2 weeks after completion.
The part exchange facility offered by Silverbridge has been refreshingly straightforward from start to finish. It has enabled our clients to move with certainty and simplicity, commented Marc Allen.
The icing on the cake is that Silverbridge Properties also take care of all the legal paperwork and associated fees which is a welcome boost for any seller.
