How does conveyancing in Muswell Hill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Muswell Hill contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Muswell Hill usually buy 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 Muswell Hill or who has acted in the same development.

You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property was built more than a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. They will highlight any apparent issues and recommend further investigation if relevant. Where there are any signs of material issues obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
