Most buyers of new build residence in Greasby contact 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 Greasby tend to acquire 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.
