Find out how Quick Move Properties could boost your sales with Part Exchange



·         UK’s largest independent property part exchange company will be exhibiting at The 2015 Caravan Extravaganza Weekend


Quick Move Properties – the UK’s largest independent property part exchange company - will be on-hand to help park and leisure home operators convert enquiries into purchases next month, when they attend The 2015 Caravan Extravaganza Weekend.

Quick Move Properties, who will be at the event along with a host of other exhibitors on Tuesday 8th, Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th September, will be offering information on their range of services; including property part exchange and their new Assisted Move service - which enables customers to secure their new park or leisure home without any hassle or upfront cost.

Patrick Chambers, Sales Director at Quick Move Properties, explains: “Many people dream of making the move to a new park or leisure home, but the upfront costs, the selling of their current property and the sometimes lengthy lead time can prove to be quite major obstacles.  The aim of Assisted Move is to take the hassle and up-front costs out of the move; turning enquiries into proceedable sales.  

“Customers can simply tell Quick Move Properties where they’d like to live and our team will set about finding suitable residential or leisure parks.  We will then work with the customer to choose the park or leisure home that best suits their requirements, budget and timescales – because the company has longstanding relationships with home manufacturers we can often reduce the timescale and speed up the move – and finally, we will work alongside an independent estate agent to sell the customer’s existing bricks and mortar property.  The funds from the sale will then be used to cover the customer’s onward purchase and hopefully leave them with a little left over.

“Our aim is to support park and leisure home operators and home manufacturers, removing obstacles and helping to secure quick, smooth and guaranteed sales.”

For more information on Quick Move Properties’ Assisted Move scheme you can call the team on: 01793 840917 or visit the website: www.quickmoveproperties.co.uk for more information on their full range of services.

Fancy owning a holiday home that can guarantee you a 7% return in the first 3 years?

Property has long been considered a wise investment and, with interest rates remaining painfully low, it is increasingly something that is appealing to a wider demographic. 

Whilst traditional buy-to-let is still popular, investing in low maintenance holiday property, such as a lodge on a holiday park, is a trend that seems to be growing in popularity at an exponential rate.

But why has owning a holiday lodge become so popular?

Best of Both Worlds
For those who wish to own their own holiday home, cover the costs of having a Lodge – and obtain some income – this is the perfect solution.

A Great Return of Investment
You are guaranteed a 7% return for the first three years. This competes very favourably against ISAs, Buy-to-Let and savings accounts. Records shows that Lodge sales have doubled year-on-year since 2010 and the best parks have seen Lodge prices increase 100% in the last five years, with manufacturers having to offer waiting lists of nine months.

Where can you buy a holiday lodge?
There are hundreds of holiday parks across the UK who offer a guaranteed return on your investment, one such park in Rutland Escapes. Rutland Escapes is set in the picturesque village of Langham, near Oakham – this is an ideal base for enjoying glorious nearby Rutland Water, a paradise for cycling, sailing, wildlife, windsurfing and fishing. Manton 18-hole golf course and the spectacular Stapleford Park Country Club offer more delights within only three miles.

Part Exchange is available!
Rutland Escapes have teamed up with Quick Move Properties to offer a property part exchange solution for people looking to purchase a holiday lodge without the normal delays and hassle!

Quick Move Properties is the UK’s largest property part exchange company and work alongside a wide range of residential and holiday parks throughout the UK. Anyone who owns a bricks and mortar property is eligible to use Quick Move Properties part exchange service.

"If we hadn't been able to do it the way we did with Quick Move Properties, we wouldn't have moved"

When Mr and Mrs Brown decided to move to Shirmart Park in North Devon, they already knew that they wanted to part exchange their existing property.

Mr Brown explains: "We had heard about Quick Move Properties from a former neighbour - it was a quicker way of moving to this property and it was a very efficient service from start to finish.  Everything was just as they explained in the beginning and the service was fantastic, it really was.

"If we hadn't been able to do it the way we did with Quick Move Properties, we wouldn't have moved.  Most of it was done on the telephone - there was no stress in it; it was simple and really quick.  I'd definitely recommend Quick Move Properties' part exchange service to anybody."


So what was it about living on a residential park that appealed to Mr and Mrs Brown?

"It was the quietness really; it's relaxing here.  I've got my little garden at the back and my wife's got hers at the front.  It's really quite private as well."

Gary Self, owner of Evolution Park Homes and Lodges who own and manage Shirmart Park, says: "Residential parks are becoming increasingly attractive to home owners looking to downsize, live mortgage-free, or reduce the time and money required to stay on top of property maintenance.

"The ability to part exchange your existing property has also made the proposition a lot more attractive, and we've seen a significant increase in sales since we started offering a property part exchange service through Quick Move Properties.

"Part exchange takes away the hassle of selling your existing property, and in my experience that tends to be the biggest worry for someone when they're looking to downsize.  Using part exchange eliminates the risks and horror stories people hear about; things like sales falling through, buyers pulling out last minute, and renegotiations following a bad survey.  When our customers use the part exchange service they know they've got a solid cash buyer, and they can stay in their existing property until the new home is ready to move into.

"When I first meet with a customer and we discuss the option of part exchange, the first thing I do is advise them to let us do a free, no-obligation appraisal of their existing property.  We can provide them with a cash offer within seven days and there's no stress, no hassle and no pressure on the customer.  All of our customers tell me how easy it was for them; there was no stress, there was no worry, they weren't chased by any solicitors or buyers or anything like that, and that makes a big difference to their move."

Anyone interested in moving to a park home, who has an existing property to sell, may also benefit from Quick Move Properties' new Assisted Move service, which enables customers to secure their new park home without any hassle or upfront cost.

Patrick Chambers, Sales Director at Quick Move Properties, explains: "Customers can simply tell Quick Move Properties where they'd like to live and our team will set about finding suitable residential parks.  We will then work with the customer to choose the park that best suits their requirements, budget and timescales - because we have longstanding relationships with home manufacturers we can often reduce the timescale and speed up the move - and finally, we will work alongside an independent estate agent to sell the customer's existing property.  The funds from the sale will then be used to cover the customer's onward purchase and hopefully leave them a little left over."

Think a park home's not for you? Think again!

The property landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, especially for home owners over the age of 50.  The introduction of property aimed specifically at those of retirement age, or approaching retirement, has changed the playing field and people are increasingly being drawn to the lifestyle on offer at residential parks aimed at the over fifties.

Dave and Lyn Davis have recently purchased their second property at one such park; Shirmart Park in North Devon.


Mrs Davis explains: "We moved to the park a year ago.  We originally had a smaller home, a forty foot one, and then a few weeks ago we moved to our new home on the same site, that is a much bigger home.  We designed both of the properties ourselves from scratch.  Not many people realise that you can do that - you don't have to have a bog-standard, traditional home, you can decide the layout and how it looks.  Our home is very contemporary because that's the look we like, but there's the option to have more traditional features - you can choose whatever you like.

"Some people think residential communities like this will be full of people in their late seventies or eighties, but where we live just isn't like that.  A lot of people get to fifty and they want to be mortgage-free but without losing their standard of living.

"There's a real community here; we tend to go abroad a bit now that the children are off our hands, and we can just lock up and leave, knowing that our property will be safe and secure with our neighbours close-by.  They've even offered to keep an eye on our garden and water our plants while we're away; it's just idea for our way of life."

If the idea of a park home appeals to you, but you have an existing property to sell, Quick Move Properties could make your move quick, smooth and hassle-free with their part exchange service.  Gary Self, owner of Evolution Park Homes and Lodges, who owns and manages the park where Mr and Mrs Davis live, says Quick Move Properties' part exchange service is very popular with people looking to move to the park.

"Residential parks are becoming increasingly attractive to home owners looking to downsize, live mortgage-free, or reduce the time and money required to stay on top of property maintenance.

"Part exchange takes away the hassle of selling your existing property, and in my experience that tends to be the biggest worry for someone when they're looking to downsize.  Using part exchange eliminates the risks and horror stories people hear about; things like sales falling through, buyers pulling out last minute, and renegotiations following a bad survey.  When our customers use Quick Move Properties' part exchange service they know they've got a solid cash buyer, and they can stay in the existing property until their new home is ready to move into.

Guaranteed 7% return and improved quality of life: why a holiday property could be the best investment your family will ever make



Property has long been considered a wise investment and, with interest rates remaining painfully low, it is increasingly something that is appealing to a wider demographic.  

Whilst traditional buy-to-let is still popular, investing in low maintenance holiday property, such as a lodge on a holiday park, is a trend that seems to be growing in popularity at an exponential rate.  Some holiday parks are claiming that the rise in popularity has seen lodge sales double year-on-year since 2010 and their values increase by 100% in the last 5 years.  What’s more, several holiday parks have started to offer guaranteed return on investment – one such park in Rutland is offering a guaranteed 7% return for the first 3 years, which is highly favourable next to many ISAs, buy-to-let returns and savings accounts.

According to the 2011 Census, 1.6 million people living in England and Wales have a second home in the country that they use for a month or more each year – that’s 2.8% of the population.  

Patrick Chambers, Sales Director at Quick Move Properties, the UK’s largest independent property part exchange company, says the holiday let market is a growing one: “We’ve seen significant growth in the number of people buying holiday properties in the last year or so.  Property can be a favourable investment, especially with the low interest rates currently being offered on savings accounts, and people like the idea of being able to use the property for their own holidays and leisure time as well.   

“Some of our customers have inherited a property and want to invest the profit from its sale into a more manageable property, some may be downsizing from a large family home and want to buy both a smaller residential property and an investment property, and others are buying a holiday home mainly for personal use, but like the idea of generating a bit of extra income when they’re not using it.

“A large proportion of our customers are looking to invest in a holiday lodge on a designated leisure or holiday park.   On-site facilities are a fantastic draw for both the home owners and prospective holiday let customers, and additional services such as cleaning, property maintenance and holiday let marketing are available on many parks.  You know your property will be well looked after when you’re not on-site, and that makes for a great, low-hassle holiday let investment.

“A competitive return and a holiday property that you and your family can use in your leisure time is a fantastic combination that is proving hugely attractive to a wide range of people.”

Part exchange: If you have a second home, former investment property or inherited property that you’d like to sell in order to buy a low-maintenance holiday home, you might want to consider property part exchange.   You can find out more about how part exchange could take the time and hassle out of the selling and buying process here.

Quick Move Properties is the UK’s largest property part exchange company.  Established in 1998, the company has purchased over 5,000 properties with a value of £725 million.  If you’ve inherited a property that you’d be interested in part exchanging for a holiday property, or are looking to downsize in order to invest in a leisure or holiday home visit Quick Move Properties or call 01793 840917 to find out how Quick Move Properties could offer a quick, risk-free and hassle-free service.
