Most buyers of new build property in Stamford Bridge come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Stamford Bridge tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.
