Barrat Part Ex

Hello all :j
Just curious if anyone has any experience doing a part exchange with Barratt.
We tried to sell our apartment not long back and the estate agents put it on at 90k to 100k with an expected 90k final price, this was their estimates. We went along with this and had very little interest, a seperate estate agent said they felt this was a bit too high and expected more around 85k.
We took this off the market and recently noticed a new build we liked the look of. It was first posted on 4th April at 220k, this has now been reduced to 215k and apparenlty has an upgraded kitchen and free flooring.
We spoke with the rep at the site who was a bit off with our enquiry, when we asked about the incentives advertised on rightmove. Main one being 10k towards deposit. She essentially said no incentives with part ex. Then we were pointed to new homes mortgage people to check our affordability.
This has now passed and they are sending the part ex manager around this week along with 2 estate agents for valuations.
Is it pointless to try negotiate? Who do I negotiate with the site rep or the part ex manager?
Anyone had any luck with this?
All a bit new! Hoping they offer around 85k as this will give us enough for a decent deposit etc but if not was hoping they would agree to the deposit contribution listed on the webiste.
For now they have removed it as we paid a reservation.
Any advice/experiences would be great

Of course you can try to negotiate. Whether you get anywhere or not depends on how well they're selling that site...
PX is an incentive. Especially if you're hoping to get offered £85k on a property the open market doesn't want to pay £90k for...0
