21 May 2014, House buyers, house builders and developers in the West Country are being offered a new service by national property consultants Carter Jonas with the launch of a planning, development and new homes department in Bath and Wells.

Carter Jonas already has a planning and development and new homes division operating from other offices around the regions but given the favourable market conditions, particularly in and around Bath, partner and head of new homes Sara Parker believes the time is right to extend the service wider afield.

“Building on our recent Best Estate Agent Award from Bath Life, we acknowledged it was timely to extend our services from the Bath office,” she said. “Carter Jonas is the only national property agency operating in the city which provides a service across all aspects of the property market - residential, new homes, commercial, rural, planning and development, valuations and building surveying.

“We have been acting on behalf of some of the country’s best known house builders and developers. Our residential and new homes department covers much of southern England and we now have members of our experienced team operating from our Bath and Wells offices.

“We provide a service for developers, purchasers and investors and have unrivalled expertise to offer advice and support from land purchase, conception to final completion.”

James Bainbridge, head of planning and development, said: “Our team will launch the service at the office in Wood Street on June 5 from 5pm to 7pm when we are inviting people to come along and find out more about what we can do for them.”

The planning and development team have the skills to maximise the value of land or buildings with development potential. Our clients include developers and promoters, businesses and institutions, local authorities and private landowners. Working with our in house teams, we are able to deliver a truly multi-disciplinary service that is focused on delivering commercially robust advice.

Carter Jonas offers developers a tailor-made new homes marketing service from conception, planning and design through marketing and sales to final completion. Whether looking to purchase a new site, launch a new development or revitalise stagnant sales, we can provide the advice and extra support you need.

The new homes team also publishes Living@, an editorial based supplement designed to assist buyers by highlighting key features of a development with floor plans, showhome images and contact details.
