How does conveyancing in Fforestfach differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Fforestfach come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed.

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 Fforestfach or who has acted in the same development.
