Most buyers of new build premises in Much Wenlock approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Much Wenlock usually buy the land, 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.

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