How does conveyancing in Willerby differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Willerby come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Willerby tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.
