How does Cala's Assisted Move service work?
If you are interested in a Cala home but your own home is not yet on the market, Cala may be able to help you make your move happen with our Assisted Move service.
Assisted Move helps you make a smooth move to your dream Cala home but without some of the usual stresses and costs associated with selling your existing property.
We’ll even contribute to your removal costs. If you are using Help to Buy, Cala may still be able to offer Assisted Move, provided this is agreed at reservation.
An easier way to move home
How does Assisted Move Work?
We will reserve the Cala home you have set your heart on for an agreed number of weeks while we help you secure a purchaser on your existing property.
To do that, we will arrange independent valuations of the property and let you know what we think it should be priced at. If you agree to go on at that price, our experienced staff will help manage the selected selling agents.
We will pay your selling agent’s fees and home buyer report costs (where applicable) and, as an added bonus, will contribute £1,000 toward your removal fees.
Find out what Cala recommends
Based on two independent valuations, we will tell you of our recommended list price and selling agent.
Reserve your Cala home
If you choose to go ahead, we will take your reservation fee and reserve your dream Cala home whilst we help you sell your old property.
Save on moving costs
On completion, we will pay the estate agent fees and gift you with £1,000 toward your moving costs.
What happens if your home doesn't sell?
If a suitable buyer is not found during the agreed reservation period, we will talk to you and agree whether to extend the period or end the reservation and refund your deposit.
Part Exchange Calculators
Find out if you could be eligible for our Part Exchange Service and how much you could save with the help of our easy-to-use Part Exchange calculators. We consider various aspects such as the value of your home, as well as estate agent services and advertising fees to estimate how much you could potentially save. We can also give you an idea of whether your current property value is right for our home part exchange service.
Terms & Conditions
Assisted Move is only available on selected Cala homes subject to Cala’s discretion. We have the right to refuse your application for the Assisted Move service.
We will only accept an Assisted Move reservation in the absence of a cash purchaser.
Geographically, we will only consider an Assisted Move reservation if the sale of your existing property can be easily managed from a Cala regional office location.
You agree to Cala appointing an estate agent to market and sell your existing property. Whilst we will consult with you, the terms of that appointment (including the choice of agent and the list price) will be at Cala’s discretion.
You agree to allow the appointed agent to market your home and arrange viewings by appointment, at reasonable times. You agree not to instruct another agent during the period that your Assisted Move reservation is active and, if you have an existing contract with an agent, you agree you will dis-instruct that agent. Cala will not be liable for any related cancellation fees.
The buyer of your existing property must be able to exchange within a period of 28 days from the date their offer is accepted. If no acceptable offer is received within the temporary reservation period, we reserve the right to re-market our available plot.
The Assisted Move service cannot be used with any other incentives or purchase services unless we specifically agree at the time of reservation.
Agent fees, home report costs (where applicable) and the contribution to removal fees will be payable on legal completion of your new Cala home provided the sale of your existing property is achieved through the agent agreed by Cala and within the agreed timescales.
