Part Exchange

Terms and conditions apply. Please speak a member of the sales team for full details.

1. Part Exchange is available on selected plots and at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to refuse or withdraw Part Exchange at any time.
2. Part Exchange may not be available in conjunction with other offers or incentives and is subject to the terms of your Reservation Agreement with Dandara.
3. All offers made on your property are subject to satisfactory Homes Report (Scotland) or RICs valuation survey (England & Wales) and contract.
4. You agree to cancel any existing arrangements with any agents and any agents’ fees or commissions and VAT that may have been incurred by you prior to our agreement will remain your responsibility. Dandara accepts no liability towards any such costs or charges. 
5. A minimum of two estate agents will be appointed to undertake an independent valuation and inspection of your current property, based on achieving a sale within 8 to 10 weeks (potential regional variations).
6. Any estate agents appointed by Residential Property Partners to market your existing property will be acting on our behalf and any fees and commissions for the appointed agents will be met by Residential Property Partners upon legal completion. However, should either party withdraw from the transaction, but you continue to sell your existing property to any individual introduced by our appointed agents during the period of our instructions, and any such sale proceed to a legal completion, you are responsible for the agents’ commission and VAT.
7. Following inspection and valuation of your existing property Residential Property Partners will make you a verbal offer. Your acceptance will be required within 2 working days. Should you choose not to accept our offer, your application for Part Exchange and your reservation on the new property will be cancelled and your £500 refunded.
8. A Home Report of your current home will be arranged and your chosen Dandara home will be removed from the market for 42 days. This is ‘the Reservation Period’. The appointed estate agents will then begin marketing your existing property. 
9. You must legally exchange contracts to purchase your chosen Dandara property in this 42-day period. Failure to do so may result in the termination of the Reservation Agreement and Part Exchange Agreement. Please also note that reservation fees cannot be refunded if you cancel the purchase once the Home Report has been instructed, or if you do not exchange contracts within the 42-day Reservation Period. 
10. Dandara can recommend a solicitor and mortgage adviser to facilitate exchange of contracts within the Reservation Period, or you may use a solicitor and mortgage adviser of your own choosing. 
11. You agree to allow reasonable access for accompanied viewings to your existing property to facilitate the resale (subject to agreed appointments) and to the erection of a “for sale” sign. You must also maintain your existing property to an acceptable standard internally and externally until legal completion. 
12. Items deemed to be fixtures and fittings (including items in the garden such as plants, shed and water features) within your existing property will be identified and set out in our Residential Property Partners’ offer, which in turn will form part of their legal agreement. If there are specific items you wish to remove these must be identified with the appointed estate agent and duly documented. 
13. A Corgi or Gas safe service certificate will be required for all gas equipment and an electrical testing certificate for all electric equipment within your existing property prior to exchanging contracts.
14. You will be responsible for all service company invoices up to and including the day of legal completion. Please ensure you have had all your meters read in order that the final bills can be forwarded on to you for settlement. Dandara is not responsible for any bills or invoices for periods of consumption prior to the completion date. 
15. You can stay in your current home until your new Dandara home is ready and a notice to legally complete is issued by us specifying the moving/completion date. On legal completion the property must be left clean and tidy including the garden, loft and any outbuildings with only the agreed items remaining. Residential Property Partners will hold a £1,000 retention fee which will be refunded if the property is left in a satisfactory condition.
