Most buyers of new build property in St Mellons come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in St Mellons typically 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.
