How Arkhangelsk Residents Can Trade Old Homes for New Apartments

Many dream of a new apartment, but the process of selling the old one and simultaneously buying a new one often seems complicated and confusing. Traditional schemes involving finding a buyer on the secondary market, arranging a mortgage, and waiting for the deal can drag on for months. However, there is an alternative option—the TRADE-IN program can significantly simplify solving the housing issue, as it combines these stages.

In Arkhangelsk, such a program is offered by the leading developer in the region—Akvilon Group. The company has received the gold «Reliable Developer of Russia» badge a full 12 times! It is actively developing residential construction in Pomorye. In 2025, the company built over 155,000 square meters of housing, commissioned 10 facilities, and began construction on 9.

In the case of trade-in, the procedure for selling secondary housing takes from one week to two months. The agency takes on solving all issues related to selling the old apartment: from organizing an advertising campaign and preparing the property for showings to negotiating with buyers, collecting necessary documents, and organizing a secure transaction. Simultaneously, specialists help select a suitable mortgage program and obtain loan approval. The additional payment for an apartment in a new building can be made immediately or, if necessary, installment plans can be arranged.

How does it work?

The process of acquiring housing through trade-in has certain features:

• first, the buyer contacts the sales office, where they are helped to select a suitable property;

• then, the agency«s specialists conduct an appraisal of their apartment;

• after that, the apartment in the new building is reserved and a contract for services to sell the old apartment is signed: the reservation cost is 50,000 rubles (approximately $500 at current rates), it is valid for two months, during which the agency handles the sale of the apartment on the secondary real estate market (the price for the selected property and all current discounts are preserved);

• the final stage—concluding the deal to purchase the new apartment, taking into account the funds received from selling the old one.

Yekaterina Mikhailova, leading specialist at the real estate agency of Akvilon Group, said that the company also implements an instant buyout of secondary housing:

— This scheme is suitable for those who want to sell their old apartment in the shortest possible time and use the proceeds to purchase a new one in any residential complex from the developer. The trade-in program covers most of Akvilon Group«s projects. The exception is the newest residential complexes. They do not participate in the program for the first months after sales start.

Available properties can be viewed on the company«s official website.

Those wishing to buy an apartment through trade-in should consider that not all secondary housing is suitable for participation in the program. The only exceptions are apartments in emergency buildings and rooms in dormitory-type buildings. And there are practically no restrictions by district or condition of the apartment: there are buyers who prefer to purchase an apartment with old renovations to implement their own design ideas.

Why consider trade-in?

This approach allows, for example, exchanging an old one-room apartment for a modern Euro-two-room apartment in a «smart» residential complex. Moreover, you can get a discount of up to 150,000 rubles (approximately $1,500 at current rates).

A person who decides to use this opportunity moves to a new level of comfort and safety. Residential complexes from Akvilon Group are built using the E4 concept, which combines energy efficiency, ergonomics, environmental friendliness, and resource savings.

The houses implement the inHome («Smart Home») system, including IP intercoms, automatic meter reading collection, video surveillance, smoke sensors, leak control, and entry door opening sensors. All these technologies are aimed at increasing safety and simplifying daily life.

An important aspect is the thoughtful building design. The Termo-S concept involves the use of modern materials and technologies, such as increased insulation layer, multi-chamber double-glazed windows, and monolithic-brick construction with aerated concrete blocks and porcelain stoneware tiles. This ensures excellent thermal insulation and building durability.

Also, residential complexes offer developed infrastructure for comfortable living: closed, landscaped territories with children«s and sports grounds, cozy spaces for relaxation, free children»s clubs, and much more.

Thus, exchanging an old apartment for a new one in a residential complex from Akvilon Group—is an investment in comfort, safety, and quality of life. Learn more about the trade-in program and choose a suitable residential complex on the website.
