The buying process follows the same steps as purchasing any other home. We can provide a list of local solicitors familiar with Burnham Waters, although you’re free to use any solicitor you choose.
Once your solicitor is instructed, our solicitors will liaise with them to progress the purchase. When all parties are satisfied, you pay a 10% deposit and contracts are exchanged. This is also the stage at which any home customisations are finalised.
Completion times vary depending on whether you’re buying a completed home or reserving earlier in the build programme. If your purchase depends on selling your existing home, deferred completion dates may be available and are handled on a case-by-case basis. Our aim is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Part-exchange plans have not yet been finalised. Updates will be shared once arrangements are confirmed.
You’re welcome to visit the Marketing Suite, speak to the sales team, or use the contact form to request a call-back.
