Most buyers of new build property in Stoke Gifford come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Stoke Gifford usually buy 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.
