The chain problem
OVER 33%
of property chains broke at least once last year.
When a chain breaks, your move doesn’t necessarily have to.
In a traditional sale, your move can depend on several connected transactions. A buyer withdrawing, a mortgage problem or an issue elsewhere in the chain may delay or disrupt everyone involved. Part Exchange removes the customer's onward selling chain by providing or arranging a chain-free purchase, subject to the agreed transaction.
If your buyer falls through during a traditional sale, RPP may be able to step in as a chain-free purchaser of your existing property, helping keep your onward move on track.
Rather than automatically starting the entire sales process again, speak to RPP to see whether Part Exchange could provide an alternative route forward.

Our offers, clearly stated
All offers are subject to a satisfactory RICS survey on the property.
Chain-free purchase with RPP-managed viewings
Once your Part Exchange has been agreed, RPP remains your chain-free buyer. RPP may begin looking for an onward buyer for your existing property while your move progresses, so viewings may take place. These viewings do not make your purchase dependent on another buyer and do not create a property chain. All viewings are arranged through RPP, and we will liaise with you in advance to agree a suitable date and time.
RPP's purchase of your property is not dependent on an onward buyer being found. If no onward buyer has been secured when you are ready to complete under the agreed transaction, RPP remains the buyer. Equally, finding an onward buyer will not extend the agreed completion timetable or require you to complete earlier.

Move based on what suits you
Upsize, downsize or move sideways with RPP
Many traditional new-build Part Exchange schemes require customers to buy a new home worth substantially more than their current property. With RPP there is no fixed requirement for your new home to be 30% more valuable than the one you are selling — subject to property eligibility and the agreed transaction, customers can upsize, downsize or move sideways.
All Part Exchange applications are subject to property eligibility, valuation, survey and agreed transaction terms.
A simple example
See what a typical 70% eligibility rule can mean
A common 70% eligibility rule
- Current home value
- £300,000
- Required new-home value
- Approximately £429,000
Where an existing property must be worth no more than 70% of the new home, a £300,000 property would require a new home costing approximately £429,000.
With RPP
No fixed 30% uplift requirement
Subject to property eligibility and the agreed transaction, you may be able to upsize, downsize or move sideways.
The example is illustrative. Eligibility criteria and transaction terms vary between schemes. Every RPP application is considered individually and remains subject to valuation, survey, legal due diligence and the agreed transaction.

How our process works
Eight clear steps from reservation to completion
Every case follows the same tested path, tracked live in the developer portal.
- 1
Step 1
Independent valuations
RPP arranges two to three independent local estate-agent valuations and reviews relevant local market evidence.
- 2
Step 2
Chain-free Part Exchange offer
RPP reviews the independent valuation evidence, relevant market conditions, property characteristics and the requirements of the proposed transaction before preparing a clearly explained written Part Exchange offer, subject to a satisfactory RICS survey on the property.
- 3
Step 3
Customer accepts and RPP becomes the chain-free buyer
The customer reviews and accepts the offer. The offer states its assumptions and conditions, and there are no estate agent fees to deduct. Once the Part Exchange is agreed, RPP is the customer's buyer. RPP's purchase is not dependent on a private onward buyer being found.
- 4
Step 4
New Home Reserved
The customer reserves their chosen plot with the developer.
- 5
Step 5
Legal work begins
Solicitors are instructed, the memorandum is issued and searches are ordered.
- 6
Step 6
Move timing coordinated with your new home
Where the agreed transaction allows, RPP will work with the customer and developer to coordinate completion around the new home's build programme. Exact arrangements remain subject to contract, developer timings and the individual transaction.
- 7
Step 7
Onward-buyer search and managed viewings
While the customer's move progresses, RPP may begin looking for an onward buyer for the existing property. Any viewings are arranged through RPP in liaison with the customer. The outcome of these viewings does not create a property chain or determine whether RPP completes the agreed purchase, and will not extend the agreed completion timetable.
- 8
Step 8
Completion and additional moving flexibility
On completion, the customer moves into their new home. In some transactions, RPP may agree a short licence-to-occupy arrangement to provide additional moving time. Availability, duration and conditions must be agreed in writing for the individual transaction. RPP does not charge the customer an additional fee for an agreed licence-to-occupy arrangement.
