elling your home in the present market is a waiting game. You’ve got to wait
for the buyer, and perhaps wait for them to find somewhere, and suddenly you’re involved in a chain with all the worry that entails – but there is a way of dispensing with the delays. Under a part-exchange
scheme you acquire a new home and sell your old in one fell swoop. The developer buys your old house and then sells it on the open market, often using a local estate agent, taking all the worry and waiting out of your hands. Taylor Wimpey is offering
just such a deal on their Herne Bay development Meadow View (pictured). Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director

Broome Court, Barham, Canterbury: £1,125,000 Property of the month
This country property would be ideal for a horsey family, as it has 12 acres of grounds and plenty of outbuildings. Broome Court’s satisfying classical style – its front door has a portico with columns and a pediment – gives it an air of grandeur which is also reflected in the spacious interior.
The house dates from the
1930s, and has been extended into a spacious family home.
There is a dining room, a sitting room and drawing room, which has french doors out on to the terrace. The large kitchen breakfast room has a gas cooker range. At the back of the house is a bedroom and a utility room with a shower, and another room that could be used as an office or as a family room. Upstairs there are four
bedrooms, one of which has a bathroom en suite, and another has a shower en suite. For everyone else there is a family bathroom. Going on up to the next floor, there are two attic rooms with sloping ceilings. Beyond

Cure your new home headaches with part exchange
for Taylor Wimpey South East, says: “Part Exchange sees the customer receive the value of their current home (based on the average of independent valuations) off the price of their brand new purchase, allowing them to sit back and relax until their new home is ready to move into.” In this way, part-exchange
gives you access to the equity in your property without you
having to wait for completion – and there is no need for you to instruct an estate agent, either, which represents a significant saving. A part-exchange scheme
can also simplify the timing issue – you can stay put in your old home until your new home is finished. For information about
Meadow View, call Taylor Wimpey on 0845 026 5684.
the park-like grounds are divided into two paddocks. The outbuildings consist of a coach house garage and a stable block with three loose boxes and a tack room. There is also a barn with a workshop. A pedestrian gate leads
