Property part-exchange option - Scotland's first chain breaking solution!

Part-exchange generates much more interest in a property.

How does your part-exchange option work if I am looking to buy?

McEwan Fraser Legal will refer you to McEwan Fraser Investments, which operates independently from McEwan Fraser Legal. They will make you a guaranteed cash offer for your own property, thus allowing you to make an offer for any property on our site safe in the knowledge, if successful, that McEwan Fraser Investments will buy your property with an entry date that meets your own personal circumstances.

For avoidance of doubt the part-exchange option does not mean that our clients who are selling their properties are looking to exchange their properties with yours.

How does your part-exchange option work if I am looking to sell?

Anyone looking to buy your house who has not yet sold has the option to accept a cash offer from McEwan Fraser Investments, allowing them to sell their property direct to McEwan Fraser Investments and in turn releasing the funds for the buyer to enable them to purchase your property.

This unique initiative makes your property significantly more attractive and of huge interest to buyers who have yet to sell their own property. When prospective buyers are keen to purchase your property they are far more likely to make an offer if they know that they have a guaranteed offer on their own house.

This simply means that McEwan Fraser Legal should help you achieve maximum interest in your property, and makes your house attractive to buyers who may only be thinking of moving or are struggling to sell their own house.

Do not underestimate how powerful this part-exchange marketing strategy is for prospective buyers, and it is one of the reasons why we are Scotland's fastest growing estate agents.

Many sellers who have had their property on the market with other estate agents for many months have changed to McEwan Fraser Legal and literally sold their property in a matter of a few weeks through our unique Part-exchange option. See testimonials.

If I am selling my house what does it cost to use your part-exchange option?

The part-exchange option does not cost you anything. Our normal estate agency fees only apply if we are successful in achieving a sale of your property.

I am interested in one of the properties you have advertised on your site and I am keen on the part-exchange option as I need to sell first - what should I do next?

Please contact us to let us know which property you are interested in. Priority is given to those who complete our online form and, thereafter, one of McEwan Fraser Part-Exchange valuers will contact you to let you know what they may be able to offer you for your own house. McEwan Fraser Legal cannot enter into any correspondence or communication about the part-exchange offer as we do not operate this arrangement.

Does McEwan Fraser Investments need to view my property before they make me a formal offer?

McEwan Fraser Investments would normally need to view your house before they make you a formal offer, however time can be saved if you are able to provide an accurate estimate of the price you are seeking for your property. Full details can be provided by McEwan Fraser Investments. Please note it will be unlikely that McEwan Fraser Investments will offer you full market value for your property and you should always seek independent legal advice before accepting any offer for your property. Please note McEwan Fraser Investments will always work hard to achive a price to change that can work for both the seller and the buyer. At the end of the day what is important is the price to change properties rather than the price you actually obtain for your own property.

What will McEwan Fraser Investments' offer for my property be based upon?

Firstly, it would be beneficial if your property has had an independent valuation so you are fully aware of your property's market value. Any offer made by McEwan Fraser Investments for your property will vary depending upon the location, size and condition. You can contact McEwan Fraser Investments for full details by completing the online form.

Does McEwan Fraser Investments make an offer for every property?

No, they do not offer on every property as certain properties may be unsuitable to McEwan Fraser Investments. The most common reasons for an agreement not being reached include price differential, structural defects, and mortgage unsuitability.

Why do more estate agents not offer Part-Exchange

The simple reason is money and expertise. McEwan Fraser investments have literally bought over £75 million worth of property and have helped thousands of buyers and sellers move home and no other estate agent has their business set up to offer this innovative solution to buyers and sellers. McEwan Fraser investments have recruited an experienced investment team with the necessary skills to operate in this highly specialised market and only work exclusively with McEwan Fraser legal.

 

Note: McEwan Fraser Investments is a trading name of McEwan Fraser LLP and operates independently from McEwan Fraser Legal. Sellers should always seek independent legal advice before accepting any offers for their property.

Lowest price you would accept for part-exchange (£) As property prices continue to fall sellers who seek unrealistic prices for their property run the risk that McEwan Fraser will be unable to help you and as a result your enquiry may not progress past our initial evaluation stage. Sellers who are more realistic in their price expectations and who fully appreciate the current decline in the housing market stand a much greater chance of achieving a quick sale for their property through McEwan Fraser.
