How does conveyancing in Flintshire differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Flintshire come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Flintshire tend to purchase the real estate, 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.

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 Flintshire or who has acted in the same development.
