We have a specialist team who deal regularly with the acquisition of brand new properties either newly constructed or off-plan.

Many developers will give a strict time frame of approximately 28 days from receipt of paperwork to achieve the exchange of contracts. We pride ourselves on being able to deal with such matters expediently so that the time frame can be met.

We also take care to ensure that the development paperwork has been set up properly so that you do not face problems when you come to sell the property in the future and to ensure that the Home Build Warranty has been properly documented.

A purchase at auction is binding as soon as the winning bid is accepted, with all the benefits and drawbacks that come along with it.

Before even considering buying at auction, it is important to know what you’re getting into and the potential pitfalls.

Our team has extensive knowledge in reviewing pre-auction contract packs and providing you with a comprehensive report on all available documentation ahead of the auction taking place. This allows you to commence bidding for your desired property with confidence and knowledge of any issues which may be present with the title to the Property.

Right to Buy allows most council tenants to buy their council home at a discount.

You can apply to buy your council home if:

• it is your only or main home
• it is self-contained
• you are a secure tenant
• you have had a public sector landlord (for example, a council, housing association or NHS trust) for 3 years - it does not have to be 3 years in a row.

Our Commercial Property team is highly experienced in this area and acts for landowners and private sector developers on all aspects of the development process from land assembly and acquisition through to site set up and plot sales.

An easement is the right of one landowner to make use of another nearby piece of land for the benefit of his own land. An easement may take many forms, however the most commonly encountered easements are as follows: A right of way; A right to light; A right of support.

It is important that careful consideration is paid to the creation of any rights which will materially impact upon your use and enjoyment of the property as these matters often give rise to a neighbour dispute.

We have a specialist team of Property Lawyers who are able to assist with the production of a Deed of Easement to formally document any such rights as may be required from time to time.
