SELLING a house and buying somewhere new is a challenge even when there’s no Brexit to upset the proceedings.

A brand new development in a village on the Bucks/Oxfordshire border includes two bedroom bungalows and three bedroom semis expressly to appeal to downsizers.

To remove as many hurdles as possible the housebuilder is offering part exchange and Help to Buy with the company’s assisted move scheme to add to the options for the target 55-65 age group.

One of the house styles among the collection of homes being built by Dandara at The Grove in Haddenham has just won a prestigious industry award.

The design for a detached house with a garage priced at £585,000 has been presented with a top title in the 2019-20 UK awards.

The development is popular with downsizers.

The choice includes three-bedroom terraced and semi-detached cottages as well as detached houses and four bed styles.

Buyers who opt for part exchange know exactly how the sums will stack up.

The builder instructs two or three independent estate agents to value the purchasers’ existing property.

Once the valuation has been agreed by both sides, the owner’s property goes on the market.

As soon as an offer is accepted, the customer can reserve one of the newly built homes at The Grove.

When the sale goes through, Dandara pays the agent’s fee on the buyer’s behalf and bingo – the transaction is well on the way to a successful conclusion.

The new owners can book a removal van and look forward to moving in.

Prices at The Grove currently start at £425,000 for a two-bed and £435,000 for a three bed.
