How does conveyancing in Hackney Wick differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hackney Wick approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Hackney Wick typically acquire 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. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers 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 Hackney Wick or who has acted in the same development.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hackney Wick. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
