How does conveyancing in Frenchay Common differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Frenchay Common come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Frenchay Common typically acquire the real estate, 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.
