Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Liskeard come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Liskeard tend to purchase 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.
