If you’re dreaming of moving into a brand new home but dreading the hassle of selling your current one, there’s good news: part exchange schemes are changing the game for homebuyers. Instead of waiting around for buyers, negotiating offers, or worrying about chains falling through, part exchange lets you trade in your existing property directly with the developer –  just like swapping in an old car when buying a new one.

Sound too good to be true? Let’s break down why part exchange is becoming a favourite route for savvy buyers – and why Graven Hill in Bicester, Oxfordshire, offers one of the best versions of it.

The Perks of Part Exchange

  • No estate agent fees – You save thousands by selling directly to the developer.
  • No property chain stress – Forget waiting on someone else’s mortgage or paperwork. Your move is firmly in your control.
  • Quick decisions & fast moves – Most part exchange offers are confirmed in days, not months.
  • Fair market value – You’ll receive an offer based on real, independent valuations.
  • Move when you’re ready – Many schemes including Graven Hill allow you to stay in your current home until your new one is ready – no sofa-surfing or temporary rentals needed.

 

 

Why Graven Hill’s Part Exchange Stands Out

Set in the heart of Bicester, Graven Hill is already famous for its innovative mix of self-build, custom and high-quality new homes – but our part exchange scheme makes moving there even more attractive.

Here’s what makes it special:

  • Flexible and fast – Graven Hill’s sales team understands that every move is different. We guide you through the process personally, keeping things simple and jargon-free.
  • Realistic valuations – You’ll get a genuine market price for your existing home, based on independent assessments – not lowball offers.
  • No double move – You stay in your current home right up until completion day. Smooth, stress-free and seamless.
  • Perfect for upscalers, downsizers and future-planners – Whether you’re looking for more space, less maintenance or a home built to modern eco standards, Graven Hill has options for all life stages.

Instead of months of viewings, phone calls and price negotiations, you choose your new Graven Hill home, agree a part exchange deal –  and move straight into a brand new, energy-efficient home with all the guarantees included.

No delays. No drama. Just progress.
