Most buyers of new build residence in Axmouth and Branscombe contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Axmouth and Branscombe tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.
