How does conveyancing in Clapham and Salph End differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Clapham and Salph End approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Clapham and Salph End 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 Clapham and Salph End or who has acted in the same development.
