New Build Purchase

Purchasing a new build property from a developer differs to purchasing an established property. The process can be complex and overwhelming especially when you are required to pay an upfront reservation fee, proceed to an exchange of contracts in a very quick and set timeframe and hand over a substantial deposit (usually 10%) on a property that may not yet have been built.

We have dedicated new build teams at both our Wakefield and Barnsley Offices, who have the extensive experience and expertise in dealing with the fast-paced nature and requirements of purchasing a new build property. We will guide you through the new build conveyancing process and ensure that exchange of contracts occurs in accordance with the requirements of the developer’s reservation agreement and in we will do so as quickly and smoothly as possible.

When purchasing a new build property there are many factors to be aware of, such as the strict exchange deadline (which varies from developer to developer). We have experience dealing with a vast majority of well-known developers and we are dedicated to ensuring that these deadlines are met.  Exchange of Contracts usually takes place well in advance of the plot being completed and it may be that you are purchasing “off plan”.  Completion will usually be on notice, usually 10 working days, being received by us, from the developers’ solicitors that the plot is build complete and ready for occupation.

The property will be built to the agreed planning and building control specifications.  New build homes are usually sold with the benefit of a new build warranty, such as NHBC, LABC, Premier Guarantee to name a few, which offers protection against structural defects for 10 years from completion.

We are also experienced in dealing with the Governments Help to Buy Scheme, Forces Help to Buy Scheme and Part Exchange Schemes available and you can rest assured that we have the knowledge and expertise to take care of the whole process for you.
