“If we hadn’t been able to do it the way we did with Quick Move Properties, we wouldn’t have moved”
When Mr and Mrs Brown decided to move to Shirmart Park in North Devon, they already knew that they wanted to part exchange their existing property.
Mr Brown explains: “We had heard about Quick Move Properties from a former neighbour – it was a quicker way of moving to this property and it was a very efficient service from start to finish. Everything was just as they explained in the beginning and the service was fantastic, it really was.”
“If we hadn’t been able to do it the way we did with Quick Move Properties, we wouldn’t have moved. Most of it was done on the telephone – there was no stress in it; it was simple and really quick. I’d definitely recommend Quick Move Properties’ part exchange service to anybody.”
So what was it about living on a residential park that appealed to Mr and Mrs Brown?
“It’s the quietness really; it’s relaxing here. I’ve got my little garden at the back and my wife’s got hers at the front. It’s really quite private as well.”
Gary Self, owner of Evolution Park Home and Lodges who own and manage Shirmart Park, says: “Residential parks are becoming increasingly attractive to home owners looking to downsize, live mortgage-free, or reduce the time and money required to stay on top of property maintenance.
“The ability to part exchange your existing property has also made the proposition a lot more attractive, and we’ve seen a significant increase in sales since we started offering a property part exchange service through Quick Move Properties.
“Part exchange takes away the hassle of selling your existing property, and in my experience that tends to be the biggest worry for someone when they’re looking to downsize. Using part exchange eliminates the risks and horror stories people hear about; things like sales falling through, buyers pulling out last minute, and renegotiations following a bad survey. When our customers use the part exchange service they know they’ve got a solid cash buyer, and they can stay in their existing property until the new home is ready to move into.”
“When I first meet with a customer and we discuss the option of part exchange, the first thing I do is advise them to let us do a free, no obligation appraisal of their existing property. We can provide them with a cash offer within seven days and there’s no stress, no hassle and no pressure on the customer. All of our customers tell me how easy it was for them; there was no stress, there was no worry, they weren’t chased by any solicitors or buyers or anything like that, and that makes a big difference to their move.”
Anyone interested in moving to a park home, who has an existing property to sell, may also benefit from Quick Move Properties’ new Assisted Move service, which enables customers to secure their new park home without any hassle or up front cost.
Sales Director at Quick Move Properties, explains: “Customers can simply tell Quick Move Properties where they’d like to live and our team will set about finding suitable residential parks. We will then work with the customer to choose the park that best suits their requirements, budget and timescales – because we have longstanding relationships with home manufacturers we can often reduce the timescale and speed up the move – and finally, we will work alongside an independent estate agent to sell the customer’s existing property. The funds from the sale will then be used to cover the customer’s onward purchase.
