Most buyers of new build premises in Totteridge come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Totteridge tend to 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.

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