This area covers buying newly built homes, including plots in housing developments, off‑plan purchases, and completions under build contracts. A solicitor helps by reviewing the contract of sale, checking the developer’s warranties and fixtures, guiding deposit protections, and coordinating with lenders, surveyors, and the mortgage offer. They also handle deeds, land registry entry, and post‑completion registrations, and liaise with the builder and warranty providers on snagging and defects. The work is shaped by contract terms, planning permissions, and building regulations.
Purchasers face deadlines for exchanges, completions, and deposit protection; delays or misdescribed finishes can have serious consequences. A solicitor provides guidance on the contract, protects funds with client accounts, and ensures warranties (such as structural or NHBC) are in place. They manage notices and remedies, and handle post‑completion registrations to secure a title and enforce build standards.
