www.new-homes.co.uk , Britain’s leading website for exclusively new properties celebrates its successful one year anniversary this month (May 2003).

Set up and operated by the New Homes marketing Board and the House Builders Federation, the site is a one-stop shop for all buyers of brand new homes.

The site which features 81% of the new homes currently available has attracted a huge following with over 2500 registered users and 75 Builders giving details of up to 150,000 new homes.

According to research carried out by Neilson and Net Ratings “more and more people are using the internet to find a home”. And new-homes.co.uk is the ideal website for people looking to find their new home online.

Since the site was launched, new technology has been introduced, the most recent being an email notification service which enables registered users to request notification on properties that meet their requirements and specifications.

A spokesman for the New Homes Marketing Board said: “ We are delighted with the first year of new-homes.co.uk, through constant communication with our developers and feedback from visitors to the site we are able to ensure that the site continues to deliver what it set out to do in the simplest way possible making us the number one new homes property portal in the UK.”
