Dean uses PX to upsize into dream PennyFarthing Homes property

Many homeowners reach a point where their current property, once perfect, begins to feel a little cramped. Whether it’s due to growing families, new hobbies, or simply a desire for more space, upsizing to a new-build home with minimal maintenance can provide the ideal solution.

That was exactly the case for Dean and his partner in Christchurch, who were ready to move from their much-loved one-bedroom first-floor flat into a larger home that better suited their lifestyle. “We’d owned our flat for around 13 years and loved how convenient it was to the local amenities; it made daily life really easy as we had everything on our doorstep,” said Dean, “but like many homeowners, even though the location was perfect, we just wanted, and needed, more space.”

Finding the dream

The couple decided that, given their future and what they wanted from a property, it was time to move. “We wanted to stay in Hampshire as we didn’t want to move too far away from the area we knew and loved,” said Dean. “We were lucky to find a new-build development by PennyFarthing Homes that was only a 15-minute drive from our flat. It was love at first sight when we saw a stunning 2-bed semi. It was perfect and gave us the space we needed, in the location we wanted.”

Moving forward with an ideal solution

However, with their Christchurch flat not yet on the market, Dean and his partner spoke with the PennyFarthing Homes sales team to find out what they could do to help their dream move go ahead. “The team on site told us about Spring’s Part-Exchange service, which meant we wouldn’t have to wait and find a buyer for our flat; Spring would simply buy it directly from us. This meant we would be able to buy our new home straight away. It was the ideal solution for us, easy and convenient,” explains Dean.

The team at PennyFarthing Homes sent the couple's details to Spring to start the part-exchange process. “The team at Spring were excellent. I visited their website and found all the information I needed,” said Dean. “Spring’s license to occupy feature included in their part-exchange service was excellent; we took advantage of this, and it helped make our move so much easier.”

Room to move now

With their part-exchange now complete, the couple are happy and settled in their spacious new home. “We are glad we made the move. Using part-exchange was so convenient; the whole process was very straightforward. We’d recommend the service to friends and family. Our dedicated client advisor, Paul, was excellent,” said Dean. “We love our new home, and the space we have now is fantastic. We are looking forward to the future here.”
