Buying a new build property Whether you are purchasing a new build property as a first time buyer, on a help to buy ISA or as shared ownership, being a home owner can come with a unique set of challenges. Our specialist new build team provide expert advice and guidance on these challenges, making your home move as stress-free as possible. Short timescales New build transactions often involve short deadlines. It’s common practice that developers may expect an exchange of contracts to take place within 28 days of solicitors receiving draft contract paperwork. We are experienced in working to tight timescales and can get you to where you want to be in the timescale you require! Buying off plan Buyers will often purchase a new build house from a developer’s plans; with only the show-home as an approximation of what they property will look like. Our solicitors specialise in off-plan contracts and have extensive experience in ensuring that the individual needs of each client in these types of purchases are catered for.
Communication We do our utmost to keep our clients fully informed of developments as they happen. One of the main benefits to our clients is that we have developed excellent relationships with the key contacts within the new build process including solicitors, developers, IFAs and estate agents. This also helps to avoid any delays in the process. Fixed fees Open and transparent fees are fixed at the outset, and give you the reassurance that you will not receive any unexpected bills. For more information on new build services we can help with, contact our New Build Team on 01295 204000 or email newbuild@se-law.co.uk

This winter’s weather has been tough on Buckinghamshire’s roads – while the heavy snowfall in December was the most remarkable weather event, the worst conditions for roads are actually when the ground temperature fluctuates constantly between just above and just below zero. Pothole formation is accelerated by this ‘freezethaw’ effect, whereby moisture gets into small cracks in the the road surface and expands when it freezes, then thaws out when the temperature rises. This process repeats until the road surface begins to break up and potholes are formed. County Councillor Mark Shaw, Cabinet Member for Transportation, urges road
users in Buckinghamshire to report potholes when they see them: “Transport for Buckinghamshire will investigate every pothole reported to them, and react on a risk based prioritisation process – put simply, that means the worst ones will be attended to first, as a matter of urgency. But we’re not mind readers, and the road network is far too vast for us to possibly know where all the potholes are, so we need members of the public to report them to us either using the online form, which only takes a few minutes, or by calling if it’s dangerous or an emergency. I would ask that everyone be patient while we deal with the fallout of a bad
It’s poth
winter – potholes are as inevitable as weather, roads are made of a porous material so that they don’t flood constantly in rain and so when water within the structure freezes, defects will form.” On average, when there are no severe weather issues, TfB repairs over 4,000 potholes every month.

Family Focus
Sort those sleep patterns
There are plenty of wonderful things about having small children, but lack of sleep certainly isn’t one of them! If you look back wistfully on the days when your baby would sleep through the night, leaving you to luxuriate in a bubble bath and some glorious sleep yourself, we have some tips for you. Persuading toddlers that they’ll settle down at bedtime and doze off until morning is very possible, with a little preparation and a lot of patience and determination – it can happen in just a week.
TOP TIPS 26
1. Agree with other adults in the household that they’ll join you in sleep training your toddler for the week – everyone has to be on the same page 2. Make sure they’ll be safe if they toddle out of bed – with stairgates, electrical socket covers and low level lighting in and around their room 3. Try to establish a regular bedtime, and limit daytime naps, particularly during the afternoon 4. Have a bedtime routine you’ll be happy to repeat every day – quiet playtime after tea, then a warm bath, bedtime story and switch on a nightlight to make their bedroom a cosy space 5. If your little one gets straight out of bed, or wakes in the night, simply put them back into bed each time - don’t
discuss anything, a simple ‘Night-night’ is all they need 6. Don’t let them toddle out of their room and into your bed – it may mean you can sleep for that night, but will become a habit that’s hard to break and deprives you of good quality sleep – settle them back in their own room each time 7. Persevere – you can do it! Even if it means settling your toddler back into bed 20 times the first night, they will get the message within the week, and then you can enjoy glorious, uninterrupted sleep
