- an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
- Unfortunately we are unable to accept Your Property for Part Exchange if it has a pre-paid meter fitted.
- A Property Inspection Form (PIF) will be filled out and form part of our legal agreement. The Property Inspection Form (PIF) will specify fixtures and fittings that must remain within Your Property and form part of our offer. The remainder of your belongings in Your Property, including the contents of attics, sheds and garages where applicable, must be removed from Your Property prior to legal completion.
- In the event that there are specific items you wish to remove from Your Property, you must document these on the Property Inspection Form (PIF) and you would be responsible for the costs to replace them and repair and re-decorate any walls, ceilings or floors affected, to an acceptable standard.
- You remain responsible for all services to Your Property, up to and including the day of legal completion.

Our Property
- Our 100% Part Exchange offer is made on the basis of you paying 100% of the advertised sale price of Our Property.

Our Process Together

- Upon acceptance, you have 2 (two) further working days to complete our Reservation Form and pay the Reservation Fee.
- While Marden Homes will consider any property that meets our criteria, we are under no obligation to make an offer.
- Our offer is subject to a RICS survey, undertaken at Marden Homes cost. In respect of this, an additional £1,000 Survey Fee will be added to the standard Reservation Fee and credited on legal completion. In the event that either party withdraws from the contract prior to legal completion, the additional £1,000 Survey Fee will be deducted, in addition to any other costs due, from the amount to be refunded.

- Full vacant possession of Your Property will be required upon legal completion.
- You will not receive the keys and alarm codes to Our Property on the day of legal completion until such time as completion has taken place on Your Property and Marden Homes have confirmation that you have provided the keys and alarm codes to Your Property in accordance with the arrangements made between us prior to legal completion. In the event this does not occur, any costs incurred to change locks or reset alarms on Your Property will be your responsibility and will be recovered by Marden Homes.
- Any agent(s) appointed by Marden Homes to market and sell Your Property will be acting on behalf of Marden Homes and any fees, commissions and costs agreed will be met by Marden Homes, should the complete transaction proceed to legal completion.
- In the event that either party withdraws from the transaction, but you later proceed to sell Your Property to any individual introduced by the Marden Homes appointed agent(s) during the period of our instruction, then you would be responsible for the agent’s commission, including VAT.
