Why you should choose Cooklaw Solicitors for new build conveyancing

Purchasing a new build property can be an exciting and nerve-wracking experience, especially when understanding new build conveyancing


The term ‘conveyancing’ refers to the legal action of transferring property ownership from one person or company to another, a process that can involve a great deal of paperwork and, at times, legal jargon. 


If you are purchasing a new build property and want the process to run as smoothly and stress-free as possible, it’s important to hire a professional new build conveyancer who has experience in dealing with new builds with a complete understanding of the conveyancing process. 


With that in mind, we've put together five reasons why you should hire us to handle the legal aspects of your property transaction. 


We’re a highly experienced, dedicated team of professionals


Our team of highly skilled professionals are led by the head of our New Build Department, Director Richard Walls. With over 20 years of experience in conveyancing, Richard specialises in acting for clients buying newly built properties from builders and developers, providing buyers with independent advice and ensuring they are properly advised on all aspects of the purchase. 


Richard guides the conveyancing team to consistently exceed client expectations. He has supported strong investment in our team and continuously strives to achieve the highest standards. As a result, our team is renowned for providing accurate, professional legal advice to each of our clients.

We believe in transparency and certainty! Our fixed-fee conveyancing service means that you can be sure of the costs upfront. We will provide you with a fixed-fee quote with no hidden charges at the outset helping you to keep track of your budget while remaining confident that there will be no unexpected costs in the future.

You will be working with a dedicated team


We understand that buying a new home can be stressful, which can be amplified by being moved from conveyancer to conveyancer during the process. This is why when you work with us, you will only engage with a specialist team who will be responsible for working with you throughout the entire process.


From the first phone call to the delivery of the documents, your point of contact will keep you informed and updated at all times. You are not required to visit us in person if you do not wish to do so. The whole process can be completed over the phone or email, whichever is more convenient for you! We have invested heavily in modern technologies to ensure a seamless process for you.


We offer expert advice and guidance


Buying a property, particularly a new build, can be a complex and time-consuming process, therefore it's essential to find a conveyancer with expertise in the field. Our conveyancing team are specialists in dealing with the complications of buying a new build and can guide you throughout the whole process while protecting your best interests. 


Whether Freehold, Leasehold or shared ownership, our team will thoroughly review the documents relating to your purchase. This is particularly important with new build leases as they may contain liabilities such as ground rent, service charges, or restrictive covenants that you may not be aware of.


We are a deadline-driven team


When purchasing a new build property, you will likely be required to exchange contracts and complete within a designated time frame. 


At Cooklaw, we provide a deadline-driven service, proactively working on your behalf to ensure that deadlines are met and you move into your new home as quickly as possible.
