FAQs: Buying a new build property
You’ll need a solicitor to purchase any property, but it’s particularly important for new build properties.
Aside from the process of buying the property, new builds can carry their own challenges, including:
- Construction delays or deadline extensions
- Quality control
- Confirming planning permission
- New legislation around leasehold homes
- Liaising with the developer directly
To help you get your ideal home, you’ll need a solicitor that’s experienced in accounting for these risks and can help you navigate them.
No, you don’t. While they may recommend it, developers cannot legally force you to use their preferred solicitor.
We typically recommend that you use an independent solicitor who will fully represent your interests and provide you with impartial advice without any potential conflict of interest.
Having the right advice is vital to the success of your purchase. We can support you by:
- Reviewing contracts and permissions
- Carrying out searches
- Negotiating on your behalf
- Liaising with developers
- Managing sale timelines
We’ll be with you at every stage of the process.
