Record numbers of homeowners are looking to move up the housing ladder in 2012 with leading housebuilder Barratt set to play a major role with its part exchange scheme.
Barratt says levels of customer interest in its part-exchange service are at a new high.
"We've been offering a part-exchange service for more than 30 years but we've never had so many people looking to take advantage of it," said Barratt senior sales manager Zak Long.
"People are coming to us who are understandably keen to move up the property ladder now. We know that it can be hard to find a buyer in the second-hand market and sometimes when you do find one, they drop out or insist that you reduce the price."
With its part-exchange service, Barratt will buy your current home for 100 per cent of the market value.
That way you can buy and sell in one easy move and know you're getting fair market value for your old home.
There are no estate agents' fees to pay, you side-step most of the hassle and cost usually associated with selling a property and - best of all - you'll have no worries about the dreaded housebuying 'chain' breaking.
"It's just like part exchanging a car," Zak added. "We'll consider buying your current home so that you are free to buy one of ours.
"We arrange for the property to be valued by two independent surveyors and make a fair offer based on the valuations. We are a guaranteed cash buyer, there's no chain, no agents' fees or last minute price haggling.
"This probably sounds like a very good deal to anyone who thinks they might struggle to sell their old home. I would urge anyone interested to call us today to find out more."
Part exchange is available at Barratt's Newport development Pan Meadows which is situated between Staplers Road and St Georges Way.
