We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Hackney Marshes or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hackney Marshes.

How does conveyancing in Hackney Marshes differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hackney Marshes come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Hackney Marshes typically purchase 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. 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hackney Marshes or who has acted in the same development.

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