Most buyers of new build residence in Shaftesbury contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Shaftesbury usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.
