Most buyers of new build premises in Pontypridd approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Pontypridd typically buy the site, 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.

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.
