Unfortunately, you cannot reserve a property before it is released to the market, however you can note your interest in a future plot and we will contact you when it is released for sale.

A non refundable fee of £250 is payable at reservation. This places your chosen plot under offer in your name during the 4 week reservation period.

The reservation is valid for 4 weeks. During this time, we send the contracts, referred to as ‘missives’, to your appointed solicitor, who will then have 4 weeks to conclude and return them to GS Brown.

When the missives are concluded a further deposit of £1,000 is payable. This is normally paid via your solicitor when the concluded missives are returned to us. Both the reservation fee and the deposit are deducted from the purchase price of your property when balance payment is made on the date of entry.

Your solicitor is unlikely to advise you to sign and conclude our missive, until he/she is satisfied that your own sale is concluded, or that you have finances to support both properties. To avoid disappointment, we recommend you check this with your solicitor prior to reserving a property.

If the missives, for whatever reason are not returned within 4 weeks, GS Brown reserve the right to drop the reservation and remarket the property. Should your solicitor require a short extension, this should be negotiated between the various parties.

At the point of reservation, if you don’t have a solicitor in place, our sales advisor can advise you of local solicitors.

GS Brown operate under the Consumer Code as part of the NHBC warranty policy. This ensures that you are fully informed of all the details of your home and the development, prior to reservation. We want the transaction to be fully transparent from the moment you reserve, to avoid any unexpected surprises during the sale and build process.

Unless the home is complete we do not allow access, however our sales team will be in touch to arrange your property demonstration and home tour around 7 days prior to your handover date.

We recommend contacting them prior to your handover date, although you can do this after you have moved in. Some new build properties are not assessed for Council Tax Banding until they are occupied. Your local council should keep you updated with the progress of their assessment process.

Your new address will not be active and live on national databases until we receive a completion certificate for your new home, normally a week or so prior to your handover date. Sometimes it can take a few weeks for the new address to register on systems such as Royal Mail and Broadband suppliers.

Your home has the benefit of cover under NHBC Buildmark warranty scheme. GS Brown Construction Ltd will attend to any issues during the first 2 years following legal completion. Thereafter we handover to NHBC for the remaining 8 years of the policy. Your policy has clearly defined responsibilities with regards to defects in materials or workmanship. Your solicitor will receive the policy details and should pass them on to the homeowner after completion.

Six months after entry we will write to you requesting details of any matters that require attention. Our Customer Care Team will coordinate the necessary work directly with you.
