How does conveyancing in Great Barr differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Great Barr approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Great Barr typically buy 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.
