Winkworth is expanding its operations to focus on land and new homes opportunities across London – with plans for a roll-out across the regions to reflect the franchise network’s spread of over 100 offices nationwide. 

Charles Jordan, an experienced new homes agent, has joined the business as part of the growth of the development and commercial investments division led by Adam Stackhouse. 

As head of new homes, Jordan, who worked with Fraser & Co handling new developments, will be leading a team from Winkworth’s HQ in London’s St James’s. The new homes team will offer strategic advice and support to developers, backed by a full sales service for buyers searching for a home or an investment property, from purchasing off-plan to completion. 

Jordan said: “Winkworth is a highly respected and trusted brand and I am delighted to be joining them to expand the new homes offering – building a team with a deep understanding of the landscape, including pricing trends, property types and buyer preferences.  We look forward to working with landowners, developers and property companies to provide a first-class service throughout the sales process – as an extension of their in-house teams.” 

Stackhouse, Winkworth’s head of developments and commercial investments, commented: “There is huge potential in London for a fully integrated operation in the new homes market, combining the experience and track record of our Developments and Commercial Investments division, with a focused new homes sales service. We are also looking to exploit our close links with international investors through our superbly connected China Desk based in our HQ in St James’s – providing a seamless service to investors and also to individuals moving to the UK for work or educational reasons.” 

Dominic Agace, chief executive, Winkworth, added: “This planned growth is building on the success of the Developments and Commercial Investments division. The ambition is to establish a London presence across our 60 London offices, followed by regional hubs across the Winkworth network to provide nationwide coverage. There are huge opportunities to work with Winkworth franchisees, leveraging their strategic locations, hyper-local experience and knowledge established over 40 years, to extend Winkworth’s reach and offering in a rapidly changing residential market.”
