Most buyers of new build residence in Sedbergh come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Sedbergh usually purchase 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.
