How does conveyancing in East Molesey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in East Molesey approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into.

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. 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.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
