Who is ready to get moving? 🏠✨
If you’re already a homeowner, the first step is usually to get an estate agent on board. 📋
However…
If you use Part Exchange or Assisted Move to buy a new build home the home builder’s friendly team will help you through the process of getting your property on the market with a local agent… AND the estate agent fees will be covered. ✅🙌
That’s one less thing to worry about - and pay for. ✨
These schemes are offered by most home builders. Have a chat with their sales teams or check out their websites to find out more.
