Spicerhaart Part Exchange sees 33% increase in business

Published on

Spicerhaart Part Exchange and Assisted Move has enjoyed a 33% increase in business over the past 12 months, its most successful year to date.

Acting for builders and developers across the UK, Spicerhaart Part Exchange and Assisted Move provides a range of part exchange and assisted move services, including its own funded part exchange proposition.

The business was launched in 2007, rebranded in 2017 and now acts for more than 70 clients.

In 2018, it enjoyed its most successful year to date after more than doubling in size and increasing business by 24%.

But, compared with the previous 12 months, June 2018 to June 2019 has seen a 51% uplift in the number of properties taken on, a 35% increase in the number of property sales agreed and a 33% increase in profit.

The business is still actively expanding and is looking to take on additional business development managers and office staff. The team is also relocating to a larger office in Sheffield next month.

Jan Biggins, national sales manager at Spicerhaart Part Exchange and Assisted Move, said: “The property market has really plateaued over the past few years and developers need to adapt to this slower market and offer a ‘complete package’ to secure as many new build plot sales as possible.

“Developers are increasingly realising that if they don’t have part-exchange or assisted move options, they will miss out on those buyers who are not in a position to proceed straight away, so are increasingly looking to experts like us to help them.”

Neil Knight, business development director, added: “I think this shift in the market – combined with the fact that Spicerhaart are market leaders in the property sector – has been a key factor in the part-exchange and assisted move business’ growth.

“And we are not slowing down any time soon. We have the opportunity to grow even further and cover even more of the UK, so are keen to hear from anyone who would like to be a part of our expanding team.”
