How does conveyancing in Petersham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Petersham contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Petersham usually purchase 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. 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.
