Eco-friendly features, a great layout and the convenience of Part Exchange are just some of the reasons why Owen and Joanna chose to buy a new family home at The Hawthorns in Market Harborough.
Owen and Joanna have been together for 5 years, and already owned a home before moving to The Hawthorns. However, the uncertainty of the housing market meant Part Exchange became their go-to option. The scheme provided the security and certainty they needed in the process of moving house, which is often a stressful time.
Friends and family had often experienced the disappointment of house sales falling through at the last minute on the open market, but using the Part Exchange scheme, having Persimmon as a guaranteed buyer meant Owen and Jo could move to a bigger and better opportunity at The Hawthorns.
They told us all about their buying experience, and what led them to choosing their home.
"I love having the patio doors open on a sunny day and pottering around in my garden."
