Buying and selling made simple
Sell your current property to us and buy one of our new homes with Ashberry Home Exchange.
We understand your current home is more than bricks and mortar – it’s full of hard work and memories. The time has come to move on and up.
With Home Exchange, we’ll arrange for two independent estate agents to value your home, which we will take an average of to determine our offer price.
You can then decide on your new Ashberry home. With no risk of a subsequent price increase on your chosen plot, you’ll have added peace of mind.
Please note: Home Exchange will only be available where the existing home being traded is at least 30% less in value than the net price of the new Ashberry home being purchased.

Which estate agency carries out the valuation?
This will depend on your local area. Two estate agents, sometimes three, will undertake valuations of your property.
When will the valuations be carried out?
Estate agents will visit you to carry out valuations of your current home generally within two to three days of your Home Exchange application. You must be available for this within working hours. Our Home Exchange manager will also view your property.
What will your final valuation be based on?
This will be based on the valuations of two local estate agents, the details and information they have shared with us about your home – such as photographs and room measurements.
Ashberry Homes will base our offer for your property on the average of the anticipated 4-week selling price valuations from two independently instructed local valuers, but will take into consideration any reported factors that may affect the property value. Ashberry Homes reserve the right at its absolute discretion to refuse to consider or to accept any property in Home Exchange it deems unsuitable.
