FAQs

Generation Trade‑In is an easier, simpler way to move into a new build Generation Homes property by selling your current home to us. You stay living exactly where you are while your new home is built. When it’s ready, you move in and we take ownership of your old home using a guaranteed value agreed from the start. It’s about making moving home feel simple, secure and stress‑free without having to go through open homes.

We created this option for homeowners who want a home that better suits the next stage of life, but don’t want the overwhelming process of selling their home first. It’s perfect if you:
• Want lower maintenance or easier living.
• Feel your current home is too big or no longer a good fit for purpose.
• Want to unlock equity without rushing a sale.
• Prefer independence over retirement village living.
• Would love to move to a warm, modern home but don’t want the hassle of open homes and the long process of selling.
It works for many different life stages - not just older homeowners.

It’s beautifully simple:
1. We help design your new Generation home.
2. You stay living comfortably in your current home throughout the build.
3. Together, we agree on a guaranteed value for your existing property.
4. You move into your brand‑new home.
5. Generation then takes ownership of your old house.
6. If there is a financial difference between the two transactions, you then receive the balance of the money into your bank account.
One move. One team. No juggling.

Certainty – you know exactly what you’ll get for your existing home.
• No open homes, no staging, no stress.
• A single, coordinated process rather than dealing with multiple companies.
• Financial clarity – no bridging loans, no risky “buy before you sell” decisions.
• Independence and control – you own your new home outright.
• A modern, warm, low‑maintenance home designed around your lifestyle.
Generation Trade‑In simply make things easier.

There are a few situations where it may not be suitable.
For example:
• If the existing mortgage is too high and you don’t have enough equity in your home.
• If the gap between the value of your home and your new build is too large.
• If your home carries unusual market risk.
But don’t worry, we look at every situation individually and we may have another product or solution that fits your needs.

Generation Homes takes ownership of your home and may perform light repairs or tidy‑ups before we take the property to market, work with a real estate agent to sell it as is, or possibly sell it to an investor. This will vary between properties but you don’t need to do anything except relax and enjoy your new home.

Before we purchase your property, we have agreed a guaranteed value which gives you peace of mind, but also allows us to take on the ownership, financial risk, and management of the resale of your property. We will take you through the numbers, so you are clear on what is happening.
