Skipton Properties | The Bridge, West Yorkshire
Skipton Properties has appointed Spicerhaart Part Exchange & Assisted Move as assisted move partners on The Bridge, a development in Haworth, West Yorkshire featuring two, three-and four-bedroom stone-built homes.
Caroline Verity, Sales, Marketing & Design Director at Skipton Properties said that, in the current market, being able to offer potential buyers the peace of mind that they will be able to sell their current home is vital. She noted: “We have always offered an assisted move service, because ensuring we can help our customers sell their current home, stress-free and on time has always been hugely important to us. But as we get busier, we are no longer able to provide this service in house, so we have brought in Spicerhaart to ensure our customers sell their homes when we are ready to exchange on ours.” Find out more…

We’re working hard to meet the growing need for new housing in this part of Suffolk and we’ve seen many first-time buyers choosing to make their home here.
