Contact the sales team on your chosen development and they'll work with you to explore part exchange and book a free valuation.

Terms & conditions and purchasing criteria

Terms & conditions 

Part Exchange will be considered subject to CALA’s purchasing criteria, terms and conditions. We have the right to refuse your application for the Part Exchange service but if this happens our Sales Advisor will be pleased to work with your selling agents, recommend alternative selling agents or help you with other suggestions about how to market your existing home to help you to find a quick sale.

To determine a fair price to offer for your existing home, CALA will obtain two independent valuations based on achieving a sale in a six week period. We will not base our offer on historic valuations or offers and our offer is valid for seven days only.

We will carry out a survey on your existing home after you accept an offer. The part exchange sale depends on the results of that survey. In the event that the survey reveals problems with your existing home we will talk to you to find a solution, however if we fail to agree terms, we will deduct any cost incurred by CALA for the survey and specialists reports when we return your reservation fee.

While your new home is being built you will have to allow us to market your home and arrange viewings by appointment, at reasonable times. You cannot use the service with any other incentives or purchase services unless we specifically agree you can at the time you reserve your home.

You agree not to instruct another agent during the period that your Part Exchange reservation is active and, if you have an existing contract with an agent, you agree you will dis-instruct that agent. CALA will not be liable for any related cancellation fees.

Purchasing criteria

Where a part exchange sale is being considered:

  • CALA will only accept part exchange in the absence of a cash purchaser
  • There must be sufficient differential between the value of your existing home and the CALA home and market demand/sales potential for us to consider part exchange
  • Geographically, CALA will only consider part exchange on a property that can be easily managed from a regional office location
