New Build Solicitors: Your Conveyancing Specialists

If you’re buying a new build property, Tees can take care of all the legal details – and get you into your new home on time!

New build property conveyancing

Despite the commitment to increase housing stock in the UK, the property market remains competitive. Even people who are looking to buy a new build, perhaps off plan, have to move quickly. If you’re in this position, you’re going to need a solicitor who understands the process inside out, and who can complete the conveyancing in time.

What is different about new build conveyancing?

  • The site of the property will usually be owned by the developer, the sale of your new build property may be a part sale of the plot
  • The conveyancing procedure may be altered to simplify the process for the developer, who is likely to be involved in a number of sales simultaneously
  • Sales may be subject to deadlines imposed by the builders, you may find you have to commit to the purchase before a single brick is laid
  • Exchange contracts within as little as four weeks

Frequently asked questions

The answers to many of your questions can be found here, please get in touch for further information.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
