Most buyers of new build residence in Tongwynlais come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Tongwynlais typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.
