Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Selston approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Selston tend to buy the real estate, 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.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended.
