How does conveyancing in Forty Hill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Forty Hill approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Forty Hill tend to 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.
