Most buyers of new build residence in Great Sankey approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Great Sankey tend to acquire 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.
