In recent years, navigating the property market has become increasingly challenging. Economic fluctuations and rising interest rates have created a slower, more cautious housing environment, where many buyers and sellers find themselves waiting longer than anticipated. For those hoping to make a smooth transition into their next home, these hurdles can be both daunting and discouraging.

Gwen, a resident of Inspired Villlages, faced this very situation after placing a deposit on an apartment in 2022. Reflecting on her own experience, she shared, “I discovered that due to our unstable financial market regarding interest rates, that people were not selling or buying properties very quickly.” With her own property slow to sell, she decided to explore the part exchange option offered by Inspired Villages.

She found the part exchange process “quite easy to understand” and, after considering the “salient points”, she felt confident in moving forward. Each step was straightforward, with the Inspired Villages team providing attentive and professional support. “Everyone involved were all very pleasant and helpful,” she noted, adding that she appreciated the supportive approach. “At no time was I pressured into selling via them.”

When the initial move-in date approached, the Inspired Villages team was more than willing to wait as Gwen finalised the sale of her previous property. “They did not rush me and were quite prepared to wait until I sold my property,” she explained, appreciating the flexibility and understanding shown by the team.

If you’re becoming frustrated with the time it’s taking to secure the sale of your property, then Inspired Villages’ stress-free Part Exchange Service offers a simple and effective alternative to selling your property on the open market.

A guaranteed cash sale with no chains. A fair offer based on market value. No need to wait for your house to sell before you move to your new home. If your property is suitable, we’ll make you a purchase offer, subject to survey and contract. We’ll call you back within five days to let you know if we can make a conditional offer for your property and there’s no need to worry about a chain of other properties all coming together to make your purchase possible.

We will take on the risk of selling your current home, and if you accept our offer, we can agree to a date for us to complete legal conveyancing and you can start to move in. Using our Home Purchasing Service, means you can move into your new village property within just four weeks*. We also offer six hours of tailored support to help you pack and unpack, plus £1,000 plus VAT towards removals so you don't have to worry about the physical strain of moving.

There’s absolutely no estate agent’s fees to pay, as we manage and pay them. We’ll arrange an appraisal by three independent, local estate agents to see if your property is suitable for immediate purchase. If we resell your house for more than expected, 80% of the net sale proceeds above an agreed gainshare threshold will be paid to you upon completion of the onward sale of your home.

Starting a new chapter is so much easier than you think. We do all the heavy lifting, leaving you free to live the retirement life you’ve always dreamed of.
