Dockleys have been working with a number of developers recently to sell new build property in East London. There are many reasons why newly built houses and flats appeal to buyers, from practical matters like brand new boilers to more emotional ones like being the very first person to live there.

If you’ve invested in a buy-to-let property, you’ll be wanting to maximise your return – it stands to reason.
