How does conveyancing in Upton Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Upton Park contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Upton Park typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

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.
