We'll help you sell your current home
Selling your current home doesn’t have to take over your life. With Assisted Move, we’ll work alongside experienced local estate agents, support you throughout the sale and help make your move to an Owl Home feel simpler from start to finish.
Assisted Move
Why choose Assisted Move?
Selling your current home while buying a new one can feel like a balancing act. You’re coordinating estate agents, viewings, solicitors and timelines, all while trying to secure the home you’ve fallen in love with.
Our Assisted Move scheme is designed to make that journey feel more manageable. Rather than leaving you to oversee every detail yourself, we’ll work alongside you and your estate agent to help keep everything moving in the right direction.
From arranging independent valuations and agreeing a realistic asking price to staying in touch throughout your sale, we’re here to support you every step of the way. And because we’ll pay your estate agent’s fees, you’ll save money too. It’s all part of the Owl Homes commitment to making your move as straightforward and enjoyable as possible.

The buying process with Assisted Move
From arranging independent valuations to keeping your sale progressing, Assisted Move is designed to provide expert support at every stage. Here’s how the process works from finding your new home to moving day.
Find your new Owl Home
Once you’ve found the home you’d love to buy, speak to one of our Sales Advisors to find out if Assisted Move is available on your chosen plot.
We arrange independent valuations
We’ll ask two trusted local estate agents to value your current home, giving you an accurate picture of its market value.
Agree your asking price
Using the independent valuations, we’ll work with you to agree a realistic asking price, helping give your property the best opportunity to attract the right buyer.
Your home goes on the market
Your chosen estate agent will begin marketing your property, arranging viewings and handling enquiries while we stay in close contact throughout the process.
We help keep everything moving
We’ll liaise with your estate agent and keep you updated as your sale progresses, helping to coordinate your move so everything stays on track.
Complete your move
Once your current home has sold, you’ll be ready to complete the purchase of your new Owl Home. Better still, we’ll pay your estate agent’s fees, leaving you free to focus on settling into your new home.
Customer Stories
I was blown away by the exceptional build quality of my new home. The attention to detail is outstanding, and the overall layout of the development is a breath of fresh air and it’s clear that real thought has gone into the design. Homes aren’t crammed together like in so many other places; there’s space to breathe, relax, and truly feel at home.
Tom
Wow what an experience from start to finish. My sales advisor has been an absolute star plus equally as efficient and timely with our completion. The part ex above and beyond, having a week to move made a potentially stressful time most pleasant. We absolutely love our new home.
Janet
We had an amazing experience purchasing our first home with Owl. They made our experience so smooth and were always there to help. Thank you to our site manager for all his help and kindness once we moved in, we’re so grateful for the extra mile you go to ensure we were satisfied with our new home.
Sophie
We were supported the whole way through and their sales team put us at ease completely. As first time buyers it can be really daunting to start the process but we were never rushed and felt that there was a lot of choice for us to look at. Seeing our house being built has been a fantastic experience and we’re really happy here.
Sophy S
My husband and I recently visited Owl homes in Alderton and have to say we couldn’t rate Owl highly enough. Being in the new build business ourselves we were very impressed with the build quality and the layout of the development too.
Tracy
The sales staff were also extremely helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer questions and making the whole experience feel relaxed and informative. A really positive experience overall and definitely worth a visit if you’re considering a new home.
