    You have to have get out clauses in the contract.

    if they are late,
    price drops
    financing difficulties
    job loss
    etc.

    lodging a large deposit make sure it is ring fenced in case they go bust.

    28 Day exchange on New Build is very common. Speak to a specialist new build broker as there are products available that are designed specifically for New Build. Halifax, for instance, have one with a 6-month offer period and different rates to the mainstream market at 90%. I know your LTV is lower, but there are products available.
