New Build
New build purchases bring the developer's timetable, warranties and planning to consider. Each point is explained clearly before you commit.
Fees
Straightforward residential and commercial transactions are quoted as a fixed fee once the property and the transaction are known, with searches, Land Registry fees and other disbursements set out separately. More complex matters are priced once the scope is clear. There are no hidden charges.
