Leading housebuilder Barratt West Midlands has helped just over 70 per cent of homebuyers at its latest development The Pavilions in Halesowen sell their previous property and move in to their new Barratt home.

Since the launch of The Pavilions in October five customers haven taken up the scheme which is 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.

Katie Yates, Sales Manager for Barratt West Midlands comments, "With Movemaker we instruct an estate agent on your behalf to sell your home, manage 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.

"Movemaker has been extremely popular at The Pavilions in Halesowen and we are proud to say it has helped five out of seven couples and families afford a new home during our first month of launching the development.

Katie 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. 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."

The Pavilions currently offers a range of two-bedroom apartments priced from £124,950, three-bedroom houses priced from £205,950 and four-bedroom houses priced from £279,950. For more information about the development please call the sales centre on 0121 559 4540, open daily from 10am to 5pm.
