How does conveyancing in South Woodham Ferrers differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in South Woodham Ferrers contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in South Woodham Ferrers typically acquire 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.
