How do I sign up for Part Exchange?
Signing up to Part Exchange your current home for a new Redrow one is easy. Simply speak to the sales team at your preferred development and they’ll let you know which homes are available with Part Exchange. Once you find one you like, you can complete and submit the Part Exchange application form.
What criteria do I need to meet to use Part Exchange?
Part Exchange is only available on selected plots and developments and is subject to terms and conditions, details of which you can find at the bottom of this page. Ex-local authority, leasehold and investment properties along with apartments, homes which have listed status or an EPC rating below an E cannot be used.
When will the valuations be carried out?
Once you’ve completed your Part Exchange application form, we will then instruct our preferred independent partners to carry out valuations of your current home.
How will I know the valuation is correct?
Your current home will be independently valued at least twice so that we can offer you the fairest possible price, based on a presumed sale within 6 weeks. You remain in control at every stage and it’s up to you if you still wish to proceed once you’ve been given an offer for your current home.
How long do I have to decide once an offer is made on my current home?
Following the independent valuations of your existing home, we’ll make you an offer which you’ll need to respond to within two working days. If you do not accept the offer, your Part Exchange application and reservation for your new Redrow home will be cancelled.
