Specialist Legal Support for Buying a New Build Home
Buying a new-build property is exciting but comes with tight deadlines, complex contracts, and unique risks. Whether you’re a first-time buyer using Help to Buy or an experienced mover purchasing off-plan, it’s vital to have a solicitor who understands the process inside-out.
Convey Us Legal provides fast, precise, and reliable legal support for new-build purchases across Birmingham and the West Midlands. We work closely with developers and lenders to ensure your transaction completes smoothly, on time, and without unpleasant surprises.
What Makes New Build Different?
New build properties come with:
- Strict 28-day exchange deadlines
- Long or variable completion dates (e.g. “on notice”)
- Developer-specific contracts and terms
- Issues around planning consents, roads, and warranties
- Shared ownership, leasehold or management company complexities
- Help to Buy or mortgage conditions
You need a solicitor who can act quickly, ask the right questions, and protect your interests from reservation to completion.
Our Legal Services Include:
- Reviewing and reporting on the developer’s contract pack
- Ensuring the property has valid planning permission and building regs approval
- Checking NHBC / LABC warranty and guarantees
- Raising enquiries with the developer’s solicitor
- Liaising with your mortgage lender and broker
