LonRes has launched a platform helping estate agents find local new-builds.

ResDev will let new homes agents list developments that can be searched for by LonRes subscribers according to location, size and price bands.

Anthony Payne, a director at LonRes, said ResDev offers new-build agents the ability to access some 100,000 live buyers through 6,500 agents working across the LonRes network.

He said: “ResDev opens up an untapped potential for selling agents and their respective buyers to the new-build market.

“A platform that uniquely brings together new homes and traditional agents, ResDev enables them to work together for the benefit of seller and buyer alike.

“With access to a network of properties and potential commission splits, ResDev is a natural extension of the LonRes system.

“Just as LonRes transformed the way in which London agents worked together, ResDev promises to do the same for the new-build sector.”

Meanwhile, it can be revealed that Douglas & Gordon has left the LonRes network.

A spokesman for LonRes said: “There’s been a change of management at Douglas & Gordon and as part of this they’re keen to work alone and not with other agents.

“The premise of LonRes is that agents work and share instructions among one another, but this isn’t for them right now.”
