Home Exchange Service

Moving from your current home into a brand-new property marks the beginning of something special.

At Deanfield Homes we have created a “Home Exchange” Service to help our customers move as quickly and easily as possible, whilst saving the cost of estate agency fees too!

How does Home Exchange work?

  • Visit one of our stunning Deanfield developments and select one of our fantastic new homes for sale.
  • Talk to our sales team at the development and let them know you would be interested in having valuations carried out on your existing property, with a view to Deanfield Homes providing the Home Exchange service to buy your home.
  • We will place the selected plot on hold for you whilst the process takes place (for a maximum period of two weeks from application).
  • We will then organise with the Home Exchange service team at The PX Hub to arrange two estate agent valuations of your current property at a mutually convenient time.
  • Once these have been carried out, a full report will be available within a few days, which our team will then discuss with you. The report will include the valuations of your home and local comparable properties which have recently been sold, or which are on the market.
  • Subject to your home meeting our Home Exchange criteria (which our sales team will run through with you) a Home Exchange Service proposal will be made to you. The Home Exchange proposal will include the saving on agent fees which we pay for you, our offer to purchase and any other items which we are including with your new Deanfield home.
  • For your information, we regrettably cannot offer this service on a leasehold property or apartment, or a property with mixed tenure (retail or commercial). Full details of locations and age of property will be explained to you.
  • Once you have accepted our offer to purchase your property, you will then be able to reserve your new Deanfield home with our team. At that time, a full reservation fee of £1,000 will be required.
  • When you reach the time where contracts are due to be exchanged by the solicitors, an exchange deposit will not be required from you other than the reservation fee already paid. (Your solicitor will go through the process with you).
  • Once your new home is complete, a simultaneous purchase and completion take place. It may be that a new buyer for your home is also due to move in on that day, and you will be asked to ensure that the property is left in good order and clear of all possessions.  Your keys will be given to the local estate agency who are acting on our behalf to resell the property. (Full details are available via the sales team at the new build development in which you are interested).
