When homeowner Tom Betteridge relaxes in his new four-bedroom detached home, The Rowan, at Baker Estates’ development in Honiton he knows he made the right decision by choosing the local housebuilder’s popular Home Exchange scheme at The Oaks.
Designed to take the stress and uncertainty out of moving, Home Exchange enables customers to secure their new home quickly while Baker Estates manages the sale of their existing property.
“Home Exchange took the stress out of selling my house in Cornwall,” said Tom, an engineer who works on cruise ships. “Baker Estates organised three agents to value my house and we agreed the best price for it.”
By arranging independent valuations and agreeing a fair market price, the scheme removes the hassle of managing viewings and negotiations, giving customers peace of mind and a clear timescale for their move.
Now settled into his new home, Tom is making the most of one of the property’s standout features – a spacious double garage measuring an impressive 6m by 6m.
“The garage is very large and one of the reasons for buying the house,” he explained. “When I’m not at sea, I love spending time doing up cars, so having that extra space is perfect.”
Tom is equally delighted with the layout and design of his new home.
“My house has some great features and it flows so well. The open-plan kitchen is a lovely big space to entertain.”
The move has also brought his family even closer together. “My family love the development. So much so, my dad has also bought a house here too, so I’ll see him more when he moves here!”
Tom praised the Baker Estates team for their support throughout the process.
“The Baker Estates team were excellent. They followed up on all my questions and helped deal with everything that I needed to do, which is just what you need. I can’t recommend them enough.”
Annie Williams, Sales and Marketing Director at Baker Estates, said: “It’s lovely to hear Tom’s moving experience was such a positive one. Our Home Exchange scheme gives our customers peace of mind and is very popular. It’s designed to make moving as straightforward and stress-free as possible, while helping buyers secure the home they really want.”
Baker Estates’ Home Exchange scheme continues to support customers looking for a smoother, faster way to move, removing uncertainty and allowing them to focus on settling into their new home.
