Buying a New Build House
Expert Legal Guidance for New Build Home Purchases
One of the key complexities of purchasing a new build house is the need to navigate the intricacies of developer contracts. These contracts often include specific terms and conditions that differ from standard property transactions.
For example, there may be clauses regarding warranties, snagging procedures, and completion dates that need to be carefully reviewed to ensure they are fair and clear. It is also essential to confirm that all the necessary planning permissions have been granted, and that the developer has complied with building regulations.
Our expert solicitors are skilled in reviewing these agreements and providing thorough advice to ensure that your interests are protected throughout the purchase process.
Specialist Legal Support
New build properties often come with additional legal considerations that do not apply to older homes. For instance, if you’re buying a home on a bespoke plot sale basis—where the property is being built specifically for you or on a custom plot—there may be further issues to address, such as land rights, access, and any special conditions attached to the land.
It’s important to ensure that the developer’s plans meet your expectations and that the property’s legal title is clear and undisputed. We will guide you through every step, from the initial reservation agreement to the final completion, ensuring that all necessary legal documentation is in order.
Furthermore, when buying a new house, you may encounter the use of shared facilities or communal areas, such as private roads, gardens, or amenities, which can impact the terms of your ownership. Our solicitors will carefully review these arrangements and advise you on any implications regarding service charges, maintenance responsibilities, and your rights within any shared spaces.
We will also review the developer’s insurance policies and make sure you are aware of the property’s warranty, such as the NHBC (National House-Building Council) or similar guarantees, which protect you in case of defects.
