I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Radcliffe on Trent.

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Radcliffe on Trent contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Radcliffe on Trent usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.
