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.

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

An outstanding week – thanks for the speed and efficiency on the two deals you’ve acted on. I just wish all solicitors were as proactive as you.
It doesn’t get much better than this.

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.

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.

Nick was at the very top of his game (again). If there is a better lawyer out there, I’ve yet to meet him. A giant amongst men. Respect.

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

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

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

Nick was always very quick to respond to any queries and made the whole process a lot less stressful, especially as it was my first property purchase. Guidance documentation was very helpful too. I can’t fault the service.

Teresa Durrant
