How does conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Thorpe St Andrew contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built.

Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.
