How is buying a new build different?

New builds come with unique challenges – 28-day exchange deadlines, homes still under construction, and specific warranty requirements. You'll also need to navigate stricter mortgage criteria and the snagging process to identify any defects.

Having a conveyancer you trust is crucial – one who understands developer pressures while thoroughly checking all the legal requirements that protect your investment in your brand-new home.

The new build conveyancing process

1.

Reserve the property

Pay your reservation fee to secure your chosen plot. This often starts a limited timeframe to exchange contracts, typically around 28 days.

2.

Instruct a conveyancer

Choose a conveyancer who will handle the legal process for you. At Eden, we understand new build timelines and will make sure everything goes smoothly.

3.

Pre-exchange

A lot happens at this stage. Your conveyancer will review legal documents, conduct searches to verify planning permissions and building regulations, and ensure your new build purchase stays on track. We'll keep you updated every step of the way, so you'll always be in the loop.

4.

Exchange

A big day! This is when your deposit is paid and contracts are formally exchanged, making the agreement legally binding. Both you and the developer are now committed to the purchase – your new home is officially secured.

5.

Completion 

Moving day arrives! It's time to collect your keys and step into your brand-new home. At Eden, we'll handle the final funds transfer and registration details, so you can focus on celebrating this milestone moment.
