Whether you're stepping onto the property ladder or adding to your investment portfolio, buying a new build home is an exciting opportunity - but it comes with its own set of challenges.
At Porter Dodson, we specialise in helping buyers navigate the unique legal process of purchasing a new build property. We’ll make sure everything runs smoothly, on time, and with minimal stress.
Buying from a developer isn’t like buying a traditional home. You’ll often be working to tight deadlines - most developers require you to exchange contracts within 28 days of reserving the property.
New build contracts can also be more complex, with specific clauses around:
We’re highly experienced in this area and will explain everything in plain English, so you feel confident and in control.
Peace of mind from start to finish
We know how important it is to feel supported throughout your purchase. That’s why we combine legal expertise with a warm, personal approach - keeping you informed, reassured, and ready to move into your new home.

Reena Raval is well known as the most knowledgeable and experienced conveyancing solicitor in the South West. That reputation, in our experience, is fully justified. Reena grasped all the issues and negotiated, on our behalf, with ‘the other side’. Reena is kind, efficient and experienced. My wife and I are very, very grateful and recommend her without hesitation.

My wife and I used Porter Dodson for conveyancing on the recommendation of our estate agent, and we are vey glad that we did. Reena and her team kept us up to date and explained in detail the process of selling our property. Reena had to deal with both the solicitor of our purchaser and also the solicitor of the management company. She did so with skill and patience when the other two solicitors at were not, at times, always up to speed. We have also employed Porter and Dodson to act as conveyancers for the purchase of our new build. I expect this transaction will go equally as smoothly. I can certainly recommend this company.

Very good experience with our home sale and purchase, despite having difficulties with the online conveyancers at the bottom of the chain, Reena Raval and Beckie Old persisted and eventually succeeded. Well Done.
