Agreeing on a price for the new holiday home and the value of your current holiday home is an important step in the part exchange process for a holiday home.

Here are some specific steps to take when agreeing on a price for the new holiday home and the value of your current holiday home:

·      Compare the value of your current holiday home to the price of the new holiday home. You may need to negotiate with the holiday park to find a mutually beneficial price for both parties.

·      Once you have agreed on a price for the new holiday home, and the value of your current holiday home, sign a formal agreement outlining the terms of the part exchange. This agreement should include the purchase price of the new holiday home, the value of your current holiday home and the terms of the exchange.

By agreeing on a price for the new holiday home and the value of your current holiday home, you can ensure that both parties are satisfied with the terms of the part exchange and proceed with the exchange process with confidence.
