How does conveyancing in Worcester Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Worcester Park contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Worcester Park tend to 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. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly.

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