Families searching for affordable homes in Cheshire are being invited to an event in Helsby where they can find out more about a scheme which could help them buy their dream home.

Persimmon Homes is hosting an event at the Meres Edge development on June 6th and 7th to give househunters the chance to learn more about its Part Exchange deal.

Under the scheme, Persimmon effectively guarantees a buyer for an existing home, arranging for an estate agent and chartered surveyor to carry out a valuation before making an offer.

The householder can then sell their property to Persimmon, leaving them free to move into one of the developer's homes.

"We are offering Part Exchange on the last few remaining properties, meaning anyone looking for new place to call home shouldn’t let the fact they have to sell their existing one put them off," said Claire Jarvis, sales manager for Persimmon Homes North West.
