New homes and developments covers the agents and developer sales teams handling new build properties around Oldbury, from the estates going up near Langley and Rood End to smaller infill schemes closer to the town centre. This is a different job from a standard resale: agents here deal with show homes, reservation fees, build stage timelines, and the extra paperwork that comes with buying something that doesn't exist yet or has just been finished. We've listed 10 businesses working in this category.
Buying new build in Oldbury usually means putting down a reservation fee to hold a plot, then working to the developer's build schedule rather than a normal chain. A good agent or sales adviser should be upfront about the completion date (and realistic about slippage), clear on what's included as standard versus what's an extra-cost upgrade, and able to explain the warranty (typically NHBC or similar, covering structural issues for 10 years). Ask to see the specification sheet, check the management company arrangements if there's an estate charge, and get a snagging inspection booked before you move a single box in.
Our scoring looks at how these businesses handle communication, transparency around costs and timescales, and how they deal with problems after completion, not just how polished the show home is.
