Most buyers of new build residence in West Smithfield contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in West Smithfield typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.
