Most buyers of new build premises in Melton Mowbray come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Melton Mowbray usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended.
