How does conveyancing in Markyate differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Markyate approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Markyate tend to acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Markyate or who has acted in the same development.

Why is New Build conveyancing in Markyate more costly?
Purchasing a brand new property is significantly distinct from the normal house buying conveyancing in Markyate.

In addition new build conveyancing often necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Lenders requirements are also more demanding. Due to the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
