Once that’s done, we’ll keep you informed of the build progress and will let you know in advance any key dates you need to be working towards (for example, when to have a mortgage in place).
*any costs incurred (such as legal fees) at time of refund will be deducted.

We can also put you in touch with our preferred estate agent should you need help selling your home.
