Buying a New Build Home: Legal Essentials Every Buyer Should Know

Why Buying a New Build Home is Different

Purchasing a new build home is an exciting prospect - everything is brand new, energy-efficient, and ready for you to put your own stamp on. However, the process of buying a new build is very different from purchasing an existing property.

 

Many new homes are sold off-plan, meaning you commit to buying before the house is even built. Instead of walking through the exact property you’ll own, you often only have a show home and floor plans to guide your decision.

 

At Marsons Solicitors, we have decades of experience and expertise in new build purchases and we have helped many buyers secure their dream homes. Unlike many other solicitors, we understand the unique challenges of buying a property from a developer and we work efficiently to ensure a smooth transaction.

How Marsons Solicitors Can Help with Your New Build Purchase

Experienced in New Build Developments

●  We are regularly recommended by developers and have acted for many buyers on the same sites.

●  Our in-depth knowledge of developments, contracts, and legal documents helps speed up the process.

●  Our existing relationships with developers’ solicitors often allow us to negotiate deadline extensions if needed.

Independent and Trusted Legal Advice

●  Although developers may recommend us, we act only for you.

●  Some solicitors pay referral fees to be recommended by developers—we do not.

●  Our reputation and expertise are based on merit alone, ensuring that your best interests are protected.

Avoiding Unexpected Legal Issues in New Build Contracts

Developers work to strict exchange deadlines, often giving buyers limited time to complete the legal process. This can be stressful, especially if issues arise in the contract.

 

‍

Our team reviews your contract swiftly, ensuring:

 

●  The terms align with your expectations.

●  There are no hidden clauses that could cause problems later.

●  You fully understand all legal obligations before signing.

 

We also check for any unexpected terms implied by law that might not be obvious but could affect you in the future.

Transparent Pricing – No Hidden Costs

Some firms charge extra fees for standard work such as dealing with lenders, and even for simple admin tasks like postage and telephone calls.

 

At Marsons Solicitors, our pricing is clear and upfront. When we provide a quote for our conveyancing services, that’s the price you pay - no hidden charges.

Recognised for Excellence in Conveyancing

Choosing a solicitor is a big decision. You want to be sure you’re working with a firm that meets the highest professional standards.

 

We are accredited by the Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), an annual assessment by the Law Society that ensures we provide expert legal services. We also hold the Lexcel accreditation, a mark of excellence in client care and legal practice management.
