Part Exchange for Sellers

Whether you're moving up the property ladder or choosing to downsize, a successful move will always be dependent on a timely and efficient sale. However, selling property isn't always easy. You may find that your property doesn't get much interest from genuine buyers, or that the market is sluggish and offers are few and far between. In such scenarios part-exchange is often an option worth considering.

• More secure sale
• May not need to find a buyer
• Less complicated transaction
• Possibility of reduced selling fees
• No long chains

Countrywide estate agents are experts in managing the part-exchange process and provide many benefits to those wishing to exchange their current property for a new one.

Essentially part-exchange provides a short chain and a strong sale, and can sometimes cut down on estate agency fees. In return, those choosing to part-exchange their current property for a brand new home generally receive 90-95% of the exchanged property's market value.

In the vast majority of cases the property you wish to exchange must be in a good state of repair with no structural problems, and generally, its value should be no more than 70% of the value of the property it is being exchanged for.
