We specialise in acting for clients who are purchasing both Freehold and Leasehold new build properties whether it is a purchase for you to live in or as an investment property on a buy to let basis. Purchasing a new build property can be a daunting experience. Buyers will often be asked to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built ! The purchase of a new build property is a more complex transaction than the purchase of an existing house or building. Most developers will adopt a slightly different Conveyancing procedure and developers in the large expect a buyer to commit to the purchase within a month of formally reserving the property. We specialise in new build purchases and our efficient service is designed to make the experience as easy to understand and as stress free to buyers as the law and circumstances permit.
QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright are proud to act for a number of local developers / family run development companies and independent builders so are fully experienced in dealing with development land acquisition which we always tailor carefully and individually remaining focused upon the end goal; namely the subsequent individual sales of the properties.
We can therefore offer competitive fee structures for the drafting of all necessary legal documentation, and production of resales packages which would include preparation of Development Information Sheets for Buyers Solicitors, drafting of New Build Contracts, Transfer Deeds, and Leases to turn ensure smoother sales for quicker returns.
We are also happy to deal with the Land Registry in order to obtain early approval of the individual plot plans, again to enable swifter returns on investments, in a market that continues to be constrained by availability of funding from high street lending institutions in comparison to prior to the recession.
The Government's new Help to Buy scheme assists first time buyers or existing home owners to purchase their first home or move up the property ladder. The Help to Buy scheme can be agreed with a developer on a new build property which involves a structured procedure to be followed.

To qualify for the Help to Buy scheme there is certain criteria that needs to be met which includes that the purchase price for the property must not be more than £600,000 and you must not own any other property anywhere in the world when you complete your purchase of the property under the Help to Buy scheme. We are experts in dealing with all element of the Help to Buy scheme for both new build and second homes. We will assist you through every step of your purchase.
As part of your estate planning you may wish to consider methods of converting some of the value of your home into cash which you can spend or give away to family members.Equity Release is now a growing and progressive market, which for you, the potential client, ensures a wider and much more competitive range of products to suit individual needs.
