New build sales work differently to buying a second-hand house. Agents in this category deal directly with developers or hold sole agency on specific sites around West Bromwich, from apartment blocks near the town centre to family housing schemes on the edges of Great Barr, Tipton and Wednesbury. Their job is to sell plots off-plan or from show homes, guide buyers through reservation fees, part-exchange schemes, and Help to Buy or shared ownership where it's still offered, and coordinate the legal and build-completion timeline with the developer's solicitor and site manager.
If you're buying new, check what's actually included in the price (flooring, turfing, appliances), ask for the NHBC or equivalent 10-year warranty documents, and get a realistic build completion date in writing rather than a verbal estimate. Visit the show home and the actual plot separately, since layouts and finishes can differ. Ask how snagging issues get resolved after you move in and who deals with them.
