With a 95% mortgage you could be moving into a new home sooner than you thought. It's available to anyone buying one of our new homes in England, up to a maximum of £500,000.

How it works

The company will select at least two local estate agents, and arrange for independent valuations of your property.

We aim to make you a part exchange offer within 48 hours of receipt of the valuation.

If your property is currently on the market, your agent will not necessarily be one of the agents who is asked to prepare valuations unless you have signed a specific contract with that agent, in which case please let us know.

We will take an average of the valuations of your property and make you an offer based on that amount.

If our offer is accepted, you can reserve your new Bloor Home, subject to contract and satisfactory structural survey plus a visit from a Bloor Homes member of staff to view your property.

You must pay a deposit of £750, this covers the increased administration and survey costs.

We will help you to choose a solicitor and provide you with independent financial advice, to ensure that completion of the purchase of your new home is achieved in an agreed timescale.

Once the results of the structural survey are received, we will discuss the report with you, and on the basis that it is satisfactory, you can proceed with your purchase - and leave the rest to us, giving you more time to concentrate on moving to your dream home.

You do not have to worry about purchasers changing their mind and wasted solicitors fees, or agreeing completion dates with a long house chain - it’s just you and Bloor Homes working together to help you move on time, with no stress.

The Bloor Homes Part Exchange Scheme is subject to our purchasing critieria and may be withdrawn at any time.

Available on selected plots, and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Should your house be sold whilst in occupation Bloor Homes will pay an early sale bonus.

Bloor Homes is pleased to announce that young first time buyers, CAN secure a new home at its development The Briars in Long Lawford, Rugby. Danielle Cresswell (20) and her boyfriend Gary Lang (22) recently purchased a three bedroom property at the popular new homes development with the help of FirstBuy.

Danielle comments: "At the time we were living with my mum in Sherbourne near Warwick and really did not think we would be able to purchase a property.  We had considered renting but it is so expensive and such a waste of money."

"A friend of ours then recommended that we take a look at The Briars as the FirstBuy incentive has proved a popular choice for young couples like us. We really didnít think we would be able to afford it but decided we would go down to the site and have a look."

The couple both work near Stratford upon Avon, Danielle as a supervisor, whilst Gary working nights as a security guard. "We thought it would be too far away but were pleasantly surprised as it took about half an hour to get there from Warwick. After viewing the show home and discovering the benefits of the FirstBuy scheme, we were excited and moved quickly, putting down a small deposit to secure our home."

With the Government backed Firstbuy scheme, an equity loan of up to 20% of the property price is provided meaning the purchaser only needs to arrange a mortgage for the remainder of the purchase price plus a 5% deposit. To qualify, the household income must be less than £60,000 a year and the applicant must be unable to finance a property in the area where they currently live or work.

The Briars offers a choice of two, three, four and five bedroom houses the offering something to accommodate all tastes. Bloor's FirstBuy has been very popular and has meant that many have been able to secure either a two or three bedroom house on sale at The Briars. Whilst for those who already have a property to sell the 100% Part Exchange incentive available on some of the properties has been very beneficial.  

Danielle continues: "Our neighbours moved in the same day as us, so it was good to meet everyone, they are all so friendly. It's peaceful in the evenings here too, which is welcoming after a long day at work!"

As standard each home comes complete with led lighting to the kitchen and downlighters to the bathroom and en-suite. If purchasers make an early decision to buy like Danielle and Gary, there is a choice of finishes to the house subject to the build stage, so you can really make your house a home.

But it was a different story for Mr Ian Roberts who was looking to relocate from Humberside to Rugby for his new job. He thought it would be a long process spanning a few months, but he was delighted to learn of the Bloor Homes Part Exchange scheme, which enabled him to sell his home quickly and at 100% of the value. He was then able to move straight into The Briars in Long Lawford in four weeks, less than half the national average!

Mr Roberts explains: "Bloor Homes were really helpful with the whole Part Exchange scheme. They managed to secure a sale on my two bedroom house and arrange everything so I could move into my new four bedroom home in just under a month from the beginning of the whole process, I couldn't be happier.

"I chose to move into a new build property as I wanted the easy life, I needed to be able to just rock up and go, as working full time I didn't want to be spending my free time doing DIY and trying to change what the previous owners have done to the house!"

Bloor Homes offer to exchange your old home for up to 105% of its market value, meaning you do not have to worry about selling your current home and the whole purchase process can be completed in a matter of weeks. All estate agent fees and valuations are taken care of for the buyer.

Bloor Homes will determine the market value of a purchaser's present home by asking three local estate agents to provide a valuation of the property, based on the price the agent believes the property will achieve for an immediate sale.

For a limited period, Bloor Homes will offer up to 105% of this sale price.

Mr Roberts concluded: "What struck me most about the The Briars development is the homes aren't cluttered and built on top of each other. I've got privacy, and a garden double the size of the one I had before. I've got this fantastic oak tree which has been made into a design feature, I think my neighbours are a bit jealous of it!"
