Most buyers of new build premises in Crawley Down come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Crawley Down usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly.
