This is because house builders in Much Hadham tend to 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.

It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Much Hadham or who has acted in the same development.
