How does conveyancing in Grangetown differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Grangetown contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Grangetown tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.
