Spotlight on Spenmill Grange

Moving home ranks behind only divorce and bereavement on the list of life's most stressful activities - and it's also one of the most expensive!

However, buying a brand new property at Portford Homes' attractive development Spenmill Grange couldn't be easier or less hassle with the house builders Home Exchange scheme.

One of the biggest costs of moving is estate agent fees - typically charging upwards of 1.5 per cent of your sale price, plus VAT. With the Home Exchange scheme Portford Homes will buy your present property - giving you the full market value - so this means no chain, no estate agent's fees and no bridging loans.

It's been well noted that one in four property chains collapse and that 28% of accepted offers fail to reach completion - a statistic that means many people have to go through the incredible disappointment and then hassle of finding and buying a home all over again.

With the Home Exchange Scheme available on selected plots, Portford Homes will purchase your existing property (subject to criteria), taking the problem of finding a buyer out of your hands and paving the way towards that all-important new home.

"There's no better option for people who want to move right away, but are being held back by the red tape of selling their current house. This is the ideal solution and leaves buyers free to concentrate on their new dream home," says David Mackintosh, Sales and Marketing Director at Portford Homes.

"Our Home Exchange scheme offers a hassle free way to move home, and we are now offering it on selected plots at our Spenmill Grange development where the aim is to make buying a Portford Homes property as stress-free as possible."

Currently the home of the week at Spenmill Grange is plot 123, a four-bedroom detached Firth priced at £280,000 which is now ready to move into and is available for either home exchange or with a host of tailor made incentives to help buyers get moving.

Set on the edge of Cleckheaton, Spenmill Grange is an outstanding new development of two-bedroom apartments to three and four-bedroom townhouses and detached homes. Portford Homes always design developments to promote a healthy community mix and Spenmill Grange is no exception having attracted first time buyers, families and older couples because of the range of house types available. It is in a great location close to Cleckheaton town centre and offers an easy commute further afield.
