Less fees to pay
To help you on your way, we’ll pay your estate agency fees (up to a value of £3,000). That gives you more money for your deposit or to spend on your new home.
Secure your dream home now
Once you’ve signed up to EasyMove, you can provisionally reserve your Prospect home. So you won’t miss out while you wait for your existing home to sell.
EasyMove is a hassle-free way to sell your home, especially when you don’t qualify for part exchange.
How it works
Step 1 – Valuing your home
Once you’ve chosen your new Prospect home, you can provisionally reserve it. In the meantime, we’ll arrange for your existing property to be valued.
Step 2 – Appoint an estate agent
Next, we’ll appoint an estate agent to work with us on the sale and marketing of your home. We’ll work with the agent to make sure your home is sold quickly, and at the right price – keeping you in the loop along the way.
Step 3 – Sell your existing home
Once you’ve accepted an offer on your existing home, you can then formally reserve your Prospect home. From there, you’ll go through the usual steps of buying and selling a home. We can recommend a choice of independent financial advisors and solicitors who’ll help you through the process.
Step 4 – Move into your Prospect home
When the purchase of your new home is complete, we’ll pick up the estate agency fees for the sale of your old home. Now, all you need to do is move into your Prospect home and celebrate a new way of living.
The EasyMove scheme is available subject to contract and status. It cannot be used in conjunction with any other Prospect offer. Terms and conditions apply.

Get moving sooner with Prospect part exchange
Found your ideal Prospect home but have yet to sell your existing property? Then Prospect part exchange could get you moving quicker. By ‘trading in’ your home, you’ll cut out the stress of selling – no waiting around, no agency fees and no buyers to negotiate with. We’ve helped lots of people move up to a Prospect home. Find out if we can help you.
Why choose Prospect part exchange?
It’s less hassle
Selling a home can be stressful. Prospect part exchange takes away the hassle of viewings, negotiations, and waiting for buyers to come along.
No chains to hold you back
Prospect part exchange is a chain-free process. It’s comforting to know that you can set a moving date, without the risk of hold ups.
No estate agency fees
With a guaranteed buyer (us), you won’t need to advertise your home. Saving on estate agency fees gives you a little extra to spend on your new home.
How it works
Step 1 – Make an application
First, you’ll need to fill in an application form. Once we’ve got your application, we’ll arrange for an estate agent to visit your home to inspect and value your property. This usually happens three working days after putting in your application, so you’ll need to give us access to your home.
Step 2 – Making an offer and reserving your home
If we decide to make an offer on your home, we’ll get three valuations to make sure our offer is fair to you. We’ll make you a verbal offer, which will be based on a sale within 4-6 weeks. You’ll then be able to reserve your new home.
Step 3 – Instructing a solicitor and financial advisor
At this point, you’ll need to instruct a solicitor to act on your behalf. If you need a mortgage, you’ll also need to work with an independent financial advisor who’ll help you make a full mortgage application.
Step 4 – Home survey
If you decide to accept our offer, we’ll arrange and pay for a survey of your home. This will need to be paid within two working days after accepting our offer.
Step 5 – Moving in
You’ll be able to move into your new Prospect home once the sale of your existing property has completed. You don’t have to wait for us to sell your home to another buyer.
Who’s eligible?
Part exchange is available on selected plots and developments. To be eligible for part exchange:
- The value of your property must be 30% lower than the value of your new Prospect home.
- You property must be freehold, built after 1900 and structurally sound.
- We don’t accept ex-council properties.
Moving forward
To move forward with Prospect part exchange you’ll need to:
- Agree to cancel any existing arrangements with an estate agent and pay any outstanding agency fees yourself. We cannot accept liability for such charges.
- We’ll begin to market your existing property before you move into your new Prospect home. You’ll need to give us reasonable access to your home to help with the sale, including the installation of a ‘for sale’ sign.
- Any estate agents we appoint to market your property will be acting on our behalf, so we’ll pay their fees and commissions.
- You should continue to maintain your property (both inside and outside) to an acceptable standard.
When you move out, the property should be left clean and tidy – including the garden, loft and
any outbuildings, with only the agreed items left in the property. Our solicitor will hold back a £500 ‘retainer’ from the sale price to cover any cleaning costs. After inspecting your home, if we find it’s been left clean and tidy, the retainer. will be released back to you. - When you move out of your property, we’ll need a full set of keys. If any keys aren’t provided and we have to get a locksmith, their costs will need to be paid by you.
Prospect part exchange isn’t available in conjunction with any other offer. Terms and conditions apply.
Prospect Part Exchange is just one way we can help you sell your home. Have a look at our EasyMove scheme to see if this could work for you too.
Buy a home with 5% deposit
Saving for a deposit might be the biggest hurdle to owning your dream home. Most lenders typically ask for a deposit of between 10% and 20%. But with Deposit Unlock, you could buy a home with just a 5% deposit. It makes the first step towards buying a home much more affordable. Find out if Deposit Unlock could help you buy your new Prospect home.
Why choose Deposit
Unlock?
Less waiting while you save
With less time spent saving for a deposit, you could move into a new Prospect home sooner than you thought. With your property search now over, you can start planning for your future.
You don’t have to be a first-time buyer
You can apply for Deposit Unlock whether you’re buying for the first time, or you already own a home. That’s good news if you’re selling but you don’t have enough equity for a big deposit.
You can access competitive mortgage rates
Deposit Unlock comes with an insurancebacked guarantee. Put simply, it means that we insure your mortgage – giving lenders the confidence to offer you a 95% mortgage at competitive rates.
You’ll own your home outright
With Deposit Unlock, you’ll be a freeholder, owning 100% of your home.
How it works
Step 1 – Check whether you qualify
Once you’ve found the Prospect home you want to buy and it’s available through Deposit Unlock, speak to an independent financial advisor to check if you qualify for the scheme. If you get the go-ahead, we’ll give you a Confirmation Letter so you can apply for a Deposit Unlock mortgage. At this point, we’ll also ask for a reservation fee to secure the home you want to buy.
Step 2 – Apply for a mortgage
Your independent financial advisor will help you apply for a 95% mortgage from a lender participating in the scheme. You’ll need to meet the lender’s own affordability criteria before the mortgage is accepted. If you’re selling your existing home, you’ll need to have it valued and on the market.
Step 3 – Instructing a solicitor
Once your mortgage is in place, you’ll need to instruct a solicitor to assist you with the purchase. They’ll carry out local searches and make legal enquires on your behalf. Make sure you keep in touch with your solicitor and us to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Step 4 – Moving in
You’ll be able to move into your new Prospect home once the sale has completed, and when your old home has sold if you had one.
