How does conveyancing in Northumberland Heath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Northumberland Heath come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Northumberland Heath typically 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.
