Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Shipston on Stour contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Shipston on Stour usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.
