1.1 Part exchange deals are only available on selected plots and developments. Part exchange will only be available where the home being traded in is no more than 70% of the selling price of the plot being purchased.
1.2 Part exchange is only available up to a maximum value of £250,000 for your old property.
1.3 Valuations for part exchange will be based upon the price which an independent valuer believes your home would be likely to achieve in the current market as opposed to an advertised sale price.
1.4 We will appoint two independent valuers to value your home. Any part exchange value offered by us will be based on an average of these two valuations. If there is a discrepancy of more than 5% we will obtain a third valuation and our offer will be based on an average of the 2 closest valuations. If the 3 valuations are equal distance apart the offer will be based on an average of the 2 lower valuations. We reserve the right to refuse a part exchange and we are under no obligation to give reasons why. All valuations and decisions are final.
1.5 If you have already incurred costs (e.g. HIP, estate agents or legal fees) at the time of negotiating a part exchange Ward Homes will not reimburse these costs.
1.6 An offer made by us under the part exchange scheme is subject to any necessary further enquiries or reports.
1.7 We reserve the right to market the property you are selling prior to your move into a new Barratt Home and you agree to allow reasonable access to the property to facilitate the resale (subject to agreed appointments) and to the erection of a “for sale” sign at the property. You agree to cancel any existing agreements with estate agents and agree that you are responsible for any fees due to them.
1.8 You agree that no party is currently negotiating to purchase the property you are selling and that no introduction has already been made by any other party.
1.9 It is Ward Homes’ intention that BDW Trading Limited will purchase your existing home and take legal title to it prior to selling it on to a third party, to allow you to purchase a new Ward Home. If you withdraw from the transaction and Ward Homes has found a prospective buyer for your home, Ward Homes will not make an introduction between you and the prospective buyer. If an introduction has already been made by Ward Homes or their agent we may deduct from your reservation deposit the amounts set out in your reservation agreement with us (on the Reverse of Res Form A) and Ward Homes will have no further involvement in facilitating the sale.
1.10 On completion of a home purchase by us under the part exchange scheme we will retain a £500 retention bond which will be refunded to you provided your old property is left in an acceptable condition and you submit accurate meter readings to utility companies.
1.11 This offer is also subject to our reservation agreement terms (on the reverse of Res Form A)
1.12 Ward Homes will complete the Property Information Form (PIF) together with you for presentation to a subsequent purchaser of your existing home. Ward Homes has no firsthand knowledge of your existing home and therefore is only able to complete items a, b, c and 1 of the PIF. Insofar as the balance of the PIF is concerned Ward Homes will rely on the information completed by you. You confirm that you will complete this form accurately and acknowledge that a future purchaser will rely on your answers and that legal action may be taken against you if you are found to have given false information.
