Home / Residential Property Conveyancing Solicitors / Buying from a Developer

Buying from a Developer

Buying a new-build home directly from the developer brings many advantages and can prove to be a great option for help-to-buy and first-time buyers as well as for more established property owners looking for modern-style living.

However, this type of transaction can be complex and there are significant differences between buying your new home from a private owner compared with entering into a contract to buy from a building company. No surprise, then, that dealing with a developer demands a specialised approach to property conveyancing.

Put our proven track record to the test

Over the years, our experienced conveyancing professionals have built strong relationships with well-known local and national developers and have successfully acted for many buyers of new-build homes, helping their purchases run smoothly and ensuring their best interests remain paramount throughout the process.

We can liaise with your lending bank or mortgage provider to ensure the funds you need are available when you need them, as a lump sum or in instalments and, as a full-service law firm, we have access to a full-range of legal, financial and investment expertise to help you through the first few years in your new home – and beyond.

Client Testimonials

Nicholas Smith was highly professional, focused and responsive. He worked to a very tight timetable to
complete the purchase of our house and I would strongly recommend him to prospective clients

Robert & Nathalie Forman

Nicholas Smith

Many thanks again for your work and support on the sale of my flat in Putney – as per my previous experiences on sale/purchasing properties with your help, you give conveyancing lawyers a good name! Very efficient, prompt and pragmatic plus you know what to advise/caution me on without overdoing it. After the dust has settled I will be looking for an investment property to buy so no doubt will be back in touch in due course. Enjoy the rest of the summer and thanks again.

Katherine Marshall

Nicholas Smith

You have been a pleasure to deal with and have been so competent, patient, organised and professional. I still cannot believe how stress-free the whole procedure was with you. In stark contrast, I completed today on my house in N Ireland after five (!) months of legal wrangling. I am delighted with the house and, although still surrounded by packing boxes, am making progress. Once again. Thank you for all you did. Kind regards,

Elaine Young

Nicholas Smith

Nick, Sally, Maddie & Lara, I just wanted to thank you for the excellent service that you all provided in the recent sale and purchase of our home. You made a stressful process a great deal easier, with your prompt responses, ready availability and sound advice. We are very grateful and would recommend you to others. I will complete your feedback form, but just wanted to email my thanks to you directly. Best regards

Richard Clay

Nicholas Smith

Just a note to thank you both very much for your help during the sale of Betty’s apartment. I was pretty stressed about it all, especially after the first sale fell through. But your kindness and efficient follow-up on everything really helped me. I have total confidence in your services and would not hesitate to work with you again. Very best wishes.

Sandy

Nicholas Smith

“Just a very quick, but nonetheless very sincere and heart-felt thanks on behalf of J and myself for your highly professional and sympathetic help in the house sale/purchase saga – you certainly saved our respective sanities on several occasions when your wise words proved to be the right course of action.”
Mr T

Nicholas Smith

The speed from offer to completion surprised everyone we spoke to and more than met our deadline to beat the June Stamp Duty deadline. Well done, absolutely delighted.

John Middleditch

Nicholas Smith

Thank you very much for facilitating the sale of my house in Solva despite all the difficulties of me being in Portugal at the start, and the tardiness of the other solicitors.

It is great that all is completed and I am grateful for your cheerful help.

Nicholas Smith

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your team for your friendly and efficient manner when carrying out the conveyancing of my late Grandmothers property. Other than the delays caused by our buyers it went very smoothly and I am grateful to you for pushing it through so quickly once their issues had been resolved and have pleasure to attach our client satisfaction questionnaire. Kind regards

Jon Sargent

Nicholas Smith

Excellent service again – even better than last time. I was particularly impressed and grateful for the very speedy email communications; they were always prompt but also importantly, they were succinct. I was also pleased at the help given in distilling the important considerations and that Nick identified a major issue with the title very early on in the process.

Mike Smith

Nicholas Smith

It is hard to improve on an existing, excellent service and I have no suggestions to make. I will definitely recommend you and would use your services again.

Mr. Philip Oliver

Nicholas Smith

A friendly, helpful and competent service close to home and we felt welcome, relaxed and confident in their hands. Thank you all.
