When should a property developer engage a new homes agent?+
Ideally at land appraisal or planning stage. Early input on unit mix, specification, phasing and pricing strategy materially improves Gross Development Value (GDV) and absorption rates. TPC New Homes routinely advises developers pre-planning across Somerset, Bristol and the wider South West.
Do you handle small and large new build schemes?+
Yes. We work on schemes from a small infill of 4–10 homes through to multi-phase strategic sites of 200+ units. Smaller developments benefit from the same 22,000+ applicant database, regional infrastructure and progression team that supports our largest house builder partners.
How do you price a new build development?+
We combine local comparable evidence (Land Registry sold data, competing scheme prices), absorption modelling and live applicant feedback from The Property Centre 22,000+ applicant database — rather than relying on simple price-per-square-foot averages. We benchmark against second-hand stock as well as competing new homes.
Can TPC New Homes launch off-plan sales?+
Yes. We launch schemes off-plan using CGIs, brand identity, brochure, microsite and a qualified pre-registration list drawn from the wider Property Centre 22,000+ buyer database. Off-plan reservations de-risk cashflow and inform Phase 2 pricing.
How is reporting structured for developers?+
Weekly written developer reports covering enquiries, qualified viewings, mortgage-checked buyers, reservations, fall-throughs, competitor pricing and progression status from reservation to legal completion. Reporting cadence and KPI structure is agreed with each developer at the outset.
Do you cover Help to Buy alternatives, shared ownership and First Homes?+
Yes. We work across open-market sale, shared ownership, First Homes, Discount Market Sale (DMS), Build to Rent (BTR) and bulk investor sales. Our team understands the specific buyer profiles, lender criteria and marketing positioning each tenure requires.
What areas of the South West do you cover?+
TPC New Homes covers Somerset, Bristol and the wider South West, with offices in Taunton, Bridgwater and Bristol. We regularly act on schemes in Wells, Yeovil, Frome, Glastonbury, Burnham-on-Sea, Wellington, Long Ashton, Brislington, Cheddar, Street and across Exeter and East Devon.
How is TPC New Homes different from a national new homes department?+
We are an independent regional specialist. Developers get a single accountable point of contact, the full 22,000+ applicant database of an established South West agency, and pricing decisions made locally — not by a national pricing committee unfamiliar with Taunton, Bridgwater or BS-postcode micro-markets.
