With more than sixty years’ experience of creating high-quality homes in thriving neighbourhoods, we’ve become experts in supporting Customers to make their dream move – from helping you start your search through to reserving and buying your chosen property, that magic moment when you pick up your keys and even as you’re settling in! 

Get help with buying your new home. 

At the 2025 spring shows, our team connected with thousands of visitors, introducing them to our latest homes and developments as well as providing instant answers to their individual home buying queries and advising them on next steps.

Support from industry specialists

One of the great things about buying new with PfP is that – should you need us to – we can signpost you to industry specialists who are experts at navigating the home buying process. They include advisors and mortgage brokers who can help you to work out what you can comfortably afford and find you the best mortgage products for your circumstances. We can also recommend conveyancing solicitors, including those who specialise in Shared Ownership if you buy your home using this government-backed scheme.

All these specialists are also on hand at the London Home Shows. Many run sessions and workshops that deal with a wide range of housing, affordability and legal queries, where you can pick up valuable first-hand insights about the home buying process.

Understanding the different buying options*

If you have your heart set on a new-build home, you’ll be pleased to know there is a range of ways to buy that could make moving simpler and more affordable too.

Anyone who popped along to the recent Home Shows had the chance to talk to our expert team in person and be guided as to which buying method could work best for them. The options range from buying outright with a mortgage to schemes such as Shared Ownership (in England) and Shared Equity (in Scotland), both affordable ways to step onto the property ladder thanks to the smaller deposit and mortgage involved. If you’re already a homeowner, choosing Part Exchange or our Easy Move scheme could allow you to move hassle-free, as we commit to buying your home or taking the legwork out of selling!

If you’re interested in any of the above buying options, our sales advisors will be happy to give you more information and check your eligibility at the same time.

Find your new home.

Separating fact from fiction - is Shared Ownership a bad idea?

There are so many myths surrounding Shared Ownership, the government-backed scheme that lets you buy a share of a brand-new home, that it’s a good idea to arm yourself with the facts about this affordable route to home ownership. You might be pleasantly surprised!

Read our Mythbusting the rules of Shared Ownership blog to understand what’s real – and what’s not – about the scheme.

One popular misconception about Shared Ownership is that it costs more than renting privately, but a recent independent report produced for Leeds Building Society reveals significant cost savings for Shared Ownership home buyers compared to renting!

To hear our thoughts on how much you could save, watch this ‘Ask the experts’ session from the recent London Home Show…

Finding the home that’s right for you

Finding your perfect new home is as much about the location as the property itself. That’s why we create Communities in desirable places to live, with handy amenities on the doorstep together with good local transport links and nearby green space to unwind in. And the homes we build have everything our Customers tell us they’re looking for – high-quality finishes, thoughtful layouts, generous living space, a private outdoor space, plenty of storage, parking and more.

With a range of property types and tenures available at our developments right across the country – from The Gwel in Truro, Cornwall and St Catherine’s Grange on the North Kent coast all the way up to Thistleton Park in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire – we’re confident we have the home that’s right for you.

Find your dream home today or join us at the autumn London Home Show, when we can introduce you to our latest developments. If you find a home you like, you can even register your interest there and then!

Making the most of offers and incentives*

Depending on the property you choose and your individual circumstances, you might be able to benefit from one of our many offers and incentives designed to give you a helping hand into your dream home. These range from special launch offers for reserving early to contributions towards your Stamp Duty or LBTT payment. We’ve even rewarded home buyers with free memberships for our Places Leisure Gyms.

You can explore development-specific offers when you select your preferred development. To find out more, either call us directly or fill in the enquiry form to receive details of any upcoming incentives straight to your inbox!
