How does conveyancing in Ashford Kent differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ashford Kent approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Ashford Kent usually purchase the site, 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.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ashford Kent or who has acted in the same development.

Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded.
