Leading housebuilder David Wilson Mercia has helped just over 20 per cent of homebuyers at its Falcons Rest development in Doseley, Telford, sell their previous property and move in to their new David Wilson home.

Since the launch of Falcons Rest twelve customers haven taken up the Movemaker and Part Exchange schemes.

Donna Salmon, Sales Manager for David Wilson Mercia comments, "These two schemes are ideal for anyone who is looking to move to a new home but is struggling to find a buyer, or simply wants to cut out all the hassle of selling the property independently."

The Movemaker scheme is a popular service from David Wilson Homes which takes care of selling your existing property, doing everything a good estate agent does. We aim to help you find a buyer within six weeks, and then to complete legal ownership to allow you to move into your new David Wilson home as soon as possible.

David Wilson instructs two estate agents on your behalf to sell your home, manages all the valuations, viewings, liaisons and phone calls. All you need to do is agree with the asking price and check the sales particulars are correct. With Movemaker there are also no estate agent fees to worry about.

With Part Exchange the company arranges for the property to be inspected by two independent valuers and makes a fair offer based on the average of the two valuations. All the purchaser needs to do is agree with the valuation and reserve their new David Wilson home.

Plus David Wilson is effectively a cash buyer, so there is no chance of a chain falling through and purchasers can concentrate on enjoying their new home.

Donna continues, "Many purchasers feel daunted at the prospect of selling their property and don't know about the schemes available that could help them.

"It has been great to see our purchasers keen to take advantage of Movemaker and Part Exchange at Falcons Rest. If you would like to find out if we can help you sell your current property to purchase one of ours then visit our sales centre."
