About us
Specialists in developer part exchange
Residential Property Partners exists for one purpose: to remove the customer's existing property as a barrier to buying a new build home.
Our story
Built around the way developers actually sell
Daniel Hawes
Founding Director
Daniel has worked in the property industry since 2004, with extensive experience in residential sales and acquisitions for corporate clients, including managing property sales across the UK for PLC companies.
As Founding Director of Residential Property Partners, Daniel helps lead what the company believes to be the UK’s largest fund dedicated to purchasing part-exchange properties. He attributes the business’s success to its knowledge of the UK property market and its longstanding partnerships with the companies it works with.
Daniel believes successful partnerships are built on honesty, transparency and clear communication—values that shape how RPP supports developers and their customers through every stage of the move.
Today, RPP works with regional and national housebuilders across the UK, supported by an in-house valuation and case management team. We provide a personal service, clear updates and practical support throughout each transaction.
Our mission is simple: simplify Part Exchange, help developers progress sales and make moving home as stress-free as possible.
