Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in West Drayton contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in West Drayton tend to purchase 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.
