As an overseas purchaser of a brand new Gore Developments Ltd. home at Rhyne Park or New Harbour Village, there are a few procedures that you will have to follow to make sure that your purchase transaction runs smoothly and on time.

Due to physical distance, it would be very difficult for you to come into our offices to sign the contract and mortgage agreement, as well as any other documents that may be necessary to complete your purchase. That is why we, at Gore Developments, have created a system to allow you to meet all of the purchase requirements in a convenient and timely fashion without you ever having to leave your country of residence.
