Property Part-ex

[JRCT]

Have you ever part-exchanged a property?

I'm considering it, just now. I know I won't get full market value, but trying to work out whether that hit is worth it considering I won't have to pay to sell, won't have to wait for a buyer.

Any experiences, good or bad?

Assuming you are going for a new build – don’t do it, unless it’s an “executive home” the build quality on new builds tends to be shocking, with minimal room size, gardens & parking

Agreed, that's why I live in an old barn, it would be lovely if it had been converted.

It's not a new build. Well, it's 12 years old.

The part-ex is a service that the estate agent offers, just to try and remove the chain as a blocker.

What's the mileage on it

Yep but at least prior to 1998 the amount of space between houses wasn't quite as bad as it was after that...

The one I'm moving out of is 1865. I love it, but it's just too small.

True, that & other details has gotten worse over the years, this is why I don't like resi works - I will stay in commercial build.

... and if you want a garage to put a car in and it says garage make sure you measure it up. You can't get a car in to a Persimmons one nowadays.. Well you can but you can't get out of the car.
