Most buyers of new build property in Shirley approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Shirley usually acquire 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.

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.
