Buying a Standalone New Build - Wisdom & Tips
We’re in the process of buying a semi-rural standalone new build. The developer (an individual, small scale) became quite volatile and difficult with conveyancing (refusing to provide consent to connect to electric/sewer, stating certain solicitor requests didn’t exist, changing the goalposts on providing a 10year warranty) but ultimately our solicitor has stood firm and he has provided everything asked for, but we’re left with a feeling of loss of trust.
We’re now at the stage of meeting with our solicitor to look at the contract.
We’d really appreciate some shared wisdom from anyone who’s has bought before, and help us see any questions we might need to ask or anything we could have missed?
Thanks!
EDIT: Timber frame, 10 solar panels, separate garage, all finishes were already chosen when we went sale agreed
