Persimmon to list properties on OnTheMarket

Housebuilder Persimmon has signed an agreement to list its residential developments at online real estate portal OnTheMarket. Under the agreement, which covers listing and additional advertising products, Persimmon will list all its developments from both its Persimmon and Charles Church consumer brands on the portal. Helen Whiteley, commercial director of OnTheMarket, said that the deal has raised the number of development listings on the portal to 733. She said: “In addition to growing our agent base, a key objective for OnTheMarket is broadening our property advertiser base, with new homes developers a priority focus. “Following the agreement with Barratt Developments, which we announced in September, this latest agreement further broadens our advertiser base and increases our relevance to active buyers in the market, while addressing the opportunities in the new homes market.” Mark Cook, group sales and regional managing director of Persimmon, said: “We have watched the portal gain ground and gather momentum to become a major player in the portals market, with active backing from property professionals.” To send feedback, e-mail pui-guan.man@egi.co.uk or tweet @PuiGuanM or @estatesgazette
