New for old is still the best way to get moving says Portford Homes - April 04

In addition to everything else buyers have to worry about at the moment, in today's property market, waiting to sell your home can really hold you back.

If, however your criteria for moving up the property ladder is a move to a brand new home, the Home Exchange scheme being offered by Portford Homes could be the answer to some of your moving problems.

David Mackintosh, Sales & Marketing Director at Portford Homes commented; "Buyers are dealing with a slowing economy, tighter credit conditions, and stretched affordability. Selling their home on top of all that is just another stress to add to the property headache!"

"Our Home Exchange scheme allows you to avoid certain costs and worries, such as estate agent fees, but also means that Portford Homes will be the top and the bottom of the chain, so unless you decide not to go ahead with the purchase of your new home, you will not lose it. It couldn't be more straightforward!"

Home Exchange enables buyers to move quickly, as there is no chain. It can also help save you money too - because there are no estate agent's fees to be paid by you. In addition, Portford Homes will provide the Home Information Pack (HIPs) now being required to market all properties, saving you further cost.
