How does conveyancing in Fakenham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Fakenham come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Fakenham typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

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.
