Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Whaley Bridge contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Whaley Bridge tend to purchase the land, 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.
