Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Howden approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished.

Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly.
