Buying a new build property is an exciting prospect, offering modern features and the opportunity to be the first occupant. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that timing delays from builders can sometimes pose challenges in the process. At McDougall McQueen we have a specialist experienced new build department so not only do we understand the frustrations that can arise, we have close relationships with many of the housebuilders, and are here to guide you through the journey.

 

Timing delays from builders are a common hurdle to overcome in the new build property market. Factors such as construction setbacks, supply chain disruptions, and unforeseen challenges can cause project timelines to extend beyond the initial estimates. These delays can affect completion dates and impact your plans for moving into your new home.

 

At McDougall McQueen, we believe in managing expectations and setting realistic timeframes when purchasing a new build property. Our experienced estate agents and conveyancers have in-depth knowledge of the local market and can provide insights into typical delays and potential challenges associated with specific builders or developments. We work closely with you to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the anticipated completion date and potential factors that may impact it.

 

We act as a liaison between you and the builders, maintaining regular communication to keep you updated on the progress of your new build. By leveraging our established relationships with builders, we can inquire about any potential delays, seek clarification, and keep you informed throughout the process. This helps alleviate uncertainties and allows us to address any concerns or issues promptly.

 

While timing delays from builders can pose challenges when purchasing a new build property, McDougall McQueen is here to support you throughout the process. We understand the importance of protecting your interests and will work diligently to find solutions, whether it’s negotiating compensation or addressing construction issues.
