As said above, it may be that if the home is built when you exchange contracts, we’ll give you a fixed completion date. In other cases, we’ll give you an estimated date for completion of the build. Then, when the home is built, we’ll issue a completion notice to your solicitor. This will trigger the completion date (the date you’re entitled to move in) two weeks later.
Your solicitor will send you a financial statement letting you know the balance of any money that you will need to pay to him/her before completing your purchase. They will also provide you with details of your warranty and insurance provider, the warranty and insurance certificate, schedule and details of the cover.
On the completion day, your solicitor will transfer the balance of the purchase price to us or our solicitor by a same-day bank transfer. When the money is received and the transaction document (the transfer deed or lease) formally dated, we’ll give you the keys to your new home.
