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

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.

Thank you so much Nicholas for the brilliant service you have given is throughout the selling and buying of our properties. You, and Maddie, have been exceptional.

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.

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

Jonathan Kerr Crow

Nicholas Smith

For the sale and purchase of our properties we found the service we received throughout the conveyance to be exemplary. A clear, efficient and professional service from Nicholas Smith and his team.

I would look no further for any future property conveyance and as a result of this experience with George Ide I will consider them, first and foremost, for future legal matters.

Ian & Susan Archer

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

We just wanted to take the time as well to say a personal thanks to the pair of you for your excellent service and support during our move. We had used you before but, like many people, we were tempted to go this time with one of the low cost on line conveyancing quotes we received. Had we done so we are now sure we would have regretted it as we feel that the exemplary service we got from yourselves was true value for money. In particular, towards the end of the process when we had to deal with a very demanding buyer for our house we felt very well supported by you not just in the technical elements of your service but also in the responsiveness and personal support we received. We have heard numerous stories from friends and colleagues of how they have struggled with conveyancing services during property transactions and have enjoyed telling people what a positive experience we had with George Ide.

Jeremy & Nicky Mills

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.
