Buying a New Build? A Named Solicitor, Start to Finish.

Buying a new build should feel exciting, not overwhelming, but developer contracts, tight exchange deadlines and unfamiliar terms like snagging, estate rentcharges and management company obligations can quickly cloud the picture. Our new build conveyancing service is built around those pressures. Lauren Basger, a named solicitor at our Legal 500 Leading Firm (SRA 455207), handles your purchase from instruction through to completion, so you always know who is reviewing your contract, chasing the developer's solicitor and answering your questions.

That includes a careful read of the developer's contract pack, raising enquiries on planning consents, warranties (such as NHBC or equivalent), management arrangements and any ground rent or service charge provisions that could affect you long term. If you are buying with Help to Buy or a similar scheme, Lauren will coordinate the equity loan paperwork alongside your mortgage and searches, and make sure the developer's deadline for exchange is met without you feeling rushed into terms you don't understand.

It matters because new builds move on the developer's timetable, not yours, and small details in a contract can have real consequences for resale, future extensions or monthly costs. Having one solicitor who knows your file, rather than a rotating case handler, means fewer surprises and clearer answers on cost, timing and what you are actually agreeing to. If you'd like to talk it through with no obligation, call 0330 808 0849.
