In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Hornchurch conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.

How does conveyancing in Hornchurch differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hornchurch contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Hornchurch tend to acquire the site, 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.
