Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Walton on the Hill contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Walton on the Hill typically purchase the site, 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.
