Most buyers of new build premises in Bishops Stortford contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Bishops Stortford typically purchase the land, 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. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly.
