Part Exchange
No need to wait for your house to sell.
- No Estate
Agency fees - Move in
within 4 weeks - Cash sale
with no chain
Designed to make your move as straightforward as possible
Our Home Purchasing is the simple and effective alternative to selling your property on the open market.
A cash sale with no chains based on a fair offer based on market value. No need to wait for your house to sell before you move to your new home with us. Subject to surveys and contracts, if your property is suitable, we’ll make you an offer.
You could be moving within 4 weeks
Starting a new chapter is much easier than you think. Our part exchange offer does all the heavy lifting, leaving you to live the retirement life you’ve been dreaming of. No need to find a buyer for your house – we could buy from you, at a fair price based on the market rate. There’s no chain, no estate agents, and no fees.
In as soon as four weeks, you could be looking out over glorious country views from your terrace. Or getting ready to head to a yoga class. Or choosing the film for movie night in our cinema. Or making new friends over morning coffee. No fees, no waiting: just choose your ideal location and leave the rest to us. What are you waiting for?
Why choose our Home Purchasing Service?
No waiting
We’ll call you back within five days to let you know if we can make a conditional offer for your property.
No uncertainty
If you accept our conditional offer and subject to a satisfactory survey and Board approval, we can agree to a date for us to complete legal conveyancing and you can start to the process of moving in.
No estate agent’s fees to pay
We manage the agents and pay them. We’ll arrange an appraisal by three independent, local estate agents to see if your property is suitable for us to purchase.
Gainshare Threshold
If we resell your house for more than expected, 80% of the net sale proceeds above an agreed gainshare threshold will be paid to you upon completion of the onward sale of your home.
Speed of Move
Using our Home Purchasing Service will mean you can move into your new village property within four weeks**, rather than waiting for your current property to sell on the open market.
Helping with the stress of moving
Moving doesn't have to be stressful with our move package. Make use of:
- Decluttering services to help you pack and unpack, with six hours of tailored support.
- £1,000+VAT towards removals so we can help with the physical strain of moving.
- Your dedicated move manager will facilitate your move and create your moving itinerary.
- Our partner interior design team can offer support to design your new home!
Important to note
- A higher value may be achieved by selling independently of the Home Purchasing Service.
- A conditional offer will be subject to both a survey and Board approval, and may be reduced following the survey.
- You are not obliged to accept any offer.
- We recommend that you seek independent financial advice.

Barbara's story
By selling her home to Inspired Villages, rather than waiting for the buyers at the bottom of the chain to progress the sale of her house, Inspired Villages Home Purchasing Service allowed Barbara to move into her new apartment quickly and remove the stress she was experiencing.
Barbara was kept in the loop throughout the whole process and moved into her new home at Austin Heath soon after. “Looking back at the process, it was absolutely the right thing to do. The whole process was so fast, it was unbelievable," explained Barbara.

Terms and conditions
The Home Purchasing Service is only available for the sale of new Inspired Villages properties, not for resales or rentals.
-
We agree to buy your property at a fair value
-
You agree to buy our Inspired Villages apartment or cottage
-
You pay us the difference in value when you complete your purchase, if your property is worth less than our apartment or cottage
-
We will pay you the difference in value within 6 months (or earlier if we resell your property quickly) if your property is worth more than our apartment or cottage.
An offer made by us under the Home Purchasing Service is subject to survey and any necessary further enquiries or reports.
We are under no obligation to make an offer, as not all customer properties will qualify. If you have already incurred costs (e.g. estate agents or legal fees) at the time of negotiating a part exchange, we will not reimburse these costs.
We reserve the right to market the property you are selling prior to your move into a new Inspired Villages property 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. Your home and garden should be maintained to the same standard as when the valuations took place. We also require that fitted carpets, integrated appliances, fitted wardrobes etc. remain in the home as part of the sale.
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. A retention will be held by the solicitors pending the company’s inspection of the part exchange property, upon completion.
