Purchasing a new build property, with all the enticing sales incentives and guarantees that come packaged with it, might make it seem like an attractive, chain free, stress free option. It might offer you the fresh start and blank canvas you have always wished for, but, from our experience, it does not come without significant risks attached.

New build conveyancing explained

The conveyancing process on new build property purchases is often the most complicated since it is very different to buying an existing property, having the potential for a lot to go wrong.

• Local searches.
• Checking access rights, boundary rights, rights of way and access to services.
• Restrictive covenants which may prohibit any alterations to the property without permission.
• Snagging and warranties provision that can be written into your contract for issues relating to any structural or cosmetic building work that falls short of expectations, or any errors or defects that need to be itemised and passed on to your builder for repair.
