How does conveyancing in Harrow on the Hill differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Harrow on the Hill contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Harrow on the Hill usually purchase 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.

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.
