How does conveyancing in Rufford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rufford contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Rufford tend to 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Rufford or who has acted in the same development.
