How does conveyancing in Creigiau differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Creigiau approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Creigiau tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Creigiau - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
