Part Exchange

You’ve seen the new Rydon Home you want to buy and you can’t wait to move in. So why risk losing it by not being able to find a buyer for your old home, or wasting time in a frustrating chain?

With Rydon Homes Part Exchange, you don’t have to run that risk. Instead, the scheme offers you:

  • A guaranteed purchaser for your old home*
  • No chain
  • No estate agent's fees
  • No stress. You move when you want to and
    you can be sure of the new Rydon Home
    of your choice

Part Exchange Q & A

Is every Rydon Home available under the Part Exchange Scheme?

Part Exchange is usually available on most of our developments, but sometimes it may apply to selected plots only. Speak to your Sales Consultant for further information.

Will my old home qualify?

The value of the Rydon Home you want to buy should be at least 30% higher than that of your existing home and be in Rydon’s operating area.

How do we agree the value of my existing home?

Rydon Homes will instruct three independent local estate agents to value your existing property. Subject to contract, a survey and our inspection we will then make you an offer for your home.

Will the Part Exchange Scheme cost me any money?

Our Part Exchange Scheme is completely free to buyers of a new Rydon home. And with no estate agent’s fees to pay, it could even save you money. Like every customer, you will have to pay our standard reservation fee and we will ask you to pay 50% of the cost of a Home Information Pack, which is now a legal requirement for selling your old home.

What happens next?

We then instruct the chosen estate agent to undertake to sell your home on our behalf. We ask that you allow a ‘For Sale’ board to be displayed and allow prospective purchasers to view the property in the normal way.

When should I organise my mortgage and instruct my solicitor?

You can go ahead and arrange your mortgage and instruct your solicitor as soon as you have accepted our offer for your home. An additional benefit of Rydon Homes’ Part Exchange Scheme is that you will be able to exchange contracts on your new Rydon Home even before your existing home has a buyer, at no risk to yourself.

Do I have to move as soon as a buyer is found for my existing home?

Even when a buyer has been found for your existing home, you don’t have to move out until your new Rydon Home is ready.
