How does conveyancing in Rufford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rufford approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed.

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 Rufford or who has acted in the same development.
