Most buyers of new build residence in Thurmaston contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Thurmaston typically 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.

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.
