During your purchase
- Sovereign recommend that you use a suitably qualified legal professional when buying your new home. Sovereign offers an approved panel of solicitors on our website, all of which have experience dealing with new build purchases. Please note we cannot recommend a solicitor to you and you are welcome to use another solicitor not listed on our panel. We strongly suggest that you obtain full written quotes before instructing your chosen one.
- The property will be reserved for a period of 6 weeks (or until your exchange of contracts deadline date). Your exchange deadline date will be issued when the draft contract documentation is issued to your solicitor. In the event that contracts have not been exchanged by the deadline date we reserve the right to withdraw the reservation. We will proceed to remarket the property which may be result in a difference in the price.
- You have the right to withdraw from your purchase at any time before contracts are exchanged. Please note that if you withdraw from the purchase for any reason whatsoever before contracts are exchanged, or if you fail to exchange contracts by the deadline date, then you agree that we will retain the sum of £250 from your reservation deposit towards our administration costs and legal expenses incurred.
- Provided the matter proceeds to exchange of contracts and completion, the £500 reservation deposit will be used in part payment of the final price that you pay for your new home. Until you exchange contracts, your purchase is subject to contract.
- Should your purchase not proceeded to completion, you will be responsible for all costs you have incurred including all costs relating to your mortgage, solicitor and estate agent if applicable
