How does conveyancing in Dartmouth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Dartmouth approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Dartmouth usually 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 conveyancers 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 Dartmouth or who has acted in the same development.
