How does conveyancing in Whitstable differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Whitstable contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Whitstable typically 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.

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.
