How does conveyancing in Storrington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Storrington contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Storrington typically purchase 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Storrington or who has acted in the same development.
