Most buyers of new build property in High Wycombe come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in High Wycombe tend to buy 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.
