How does conveyancing in Brixham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Brixham come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Brixham tend to purchase the land, 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. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. 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 Brixham or who has acted in the same development.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Brixham. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Brixham to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
