It’s well known that selling up and moving home can be a difficult decision. In a recent survey almost half of respondents (47%) experienced increased stress levels as a result. An incredible 41% of adults suffered anxiety, 31% experienced sleep deprivation and 25% had arguments with their partner over the whole moving process. Coupled with retirement – an era of your life when you look to relieve all stresses and strains – it’s obvious that a hassle-free way to move home would be the ideal solution to a common problem.
Laird Estates has come up with that perfect solution! We offer a simple Easy Move scheme to help you make the transition, involving a part exchange of your old home for your new Laird Estates park home. In this brief edition of our blog we’ll explain more about our Easy Move scheme – and before you know it, all the stress of relocation will completely melt away!
How It Works
Find the right Laird Estates park
The first step is deciding that you want to move in to one of Laird Estates’ residential park homes, and the second is deciding which park suits your needs the best. Our eight parks have each been designed with care so that they make the most of their superb location. There’s a calm village ambience, so each park is friendly, whilst remaining peaceful and quiet. Set in picturesque countryside, these park homes for retirees are conveniently located for visits to (and the essential amenities of) their nearby towns. You can find out a little more about each park by clicking on the individual parks, below.
- Heatherbank Country Park (East Renfrewshire)
- Cunningham Head Estate (Ayrshire)
- Fairview Park (Cheshire)
- Warren Park (Shropshire)
- Peaklands Park (Derbyshire)
- Bluebell Heights (Ayrshire)
- Grindley Brook Park (Shropshire)
- Western Park (Cheshire)
Choose your retirement park home
The next step is to choose from one of our wonderful show homes or express your interest in a new plot, and order the home of your choice. At Laird Estates we always have an excellent selection of brand-new homes for sale, ready for immediate occupation. Once you have made your choice, two local estate agents or surveyors will view your existing property and submit a report, at no cost to you.
The offer: How long does it take to buy a park home?
Using the information provided by the estate agent or surveyors, we will aim to issue you with a formal offer within 48 hours of the reports. Once you’ve received this offer, there is no charge or obligation on your part to proceed.
Do I need a solicitor when buying a park home?
If you do decide to accept our offer, then solicitors are instructed. If you don’t have your own solicitor, then we can provide one from our panel of solicitors, and if this is the case we will also pay your legal fees. The sale and purchase will proceed to the exchange of contracts, and completion will be agreed for your preferred date. At this point you’re free to move into your new park home! Buying a park home really is that simple.
What are the benefits of the Easy Move scheme?
This Easy Move scheme from Laird Estates is a very straightforward and speedy solution to the problems inherent in moving home and changing your lifestyle.
- Financial
From a financial perspective, you will have price certainty – both on your new Laird Estates park home, and on the sale of your existing property. There are no estate agents to deal with (other than briefly, at the point of making a valuation on your home), so there are no estate agent fees to pay, nor solicitors and stamp duty.
- Reassurance
By using the Easy Move scheme you will avoid all sorts of other potential problems that can occur when moving home in the standard fashion. There will be no time wasters just wanting a peek around your home, and no complaints about what is ‘wrong’ with it.
- Simplicity
You will also completely avoid the disappointment of a house sale falling through or a buyer chain collapsing – as once the deal for your new Laird Estates park home is made, it’s definitely yours. The process is so simple. We will agree a completion date to suit you and to coincide with the availability of your new Laird Estates home, and the speed of exchange through this whole process means you will be living in it and enjoying your new lifestyle sooner rather than later.
- Removals (on request)
Part of the Easy Move scheme’s aim is to completely remove the stress of the whole scenario for you, so we also offer a personalised removal service in partnership with Ballards, specialists in the removal field. You can now book your removal service with them, through us, at a discounted rate. They even offer a handyman service so that any difficult furniture can be dismantled and reassembled in your new location. We don’t take any commission for this introduction.
