How does conveyancing in Bitterne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Bitterne approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Bitterne usually purchase the land, 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.
