Reserved is good. Completed is better.
We’re recruiting for a Sales Progressor to join one of the South’s largest not-for-profit housing providers, helping customers move from reserving their new home to finally receiving the keys.
You’ll manage a pipeline of Shared Ownership and Market Sale properties, keeping buyers, solicitors, mortgage brokers and the internal sales team informed and moving in the same direction.
There will be plenty to keep on top of, but this is not a role where you simply update a spreadsheet and hope everything sorts itself out. You’ll spot problems early, chase the right people and help remove anything standing between reservation, exchange and completion.
Why consider it? This is a good opportunity to join an established new homes team where the work has a genuine purpose behind it.
You’ll be helping people through one of the biggest purchases of their lives, including customers buying through Shared Ownership who may otherwise struggle to access a home of their own.
Alongside a salary of up to £37,080, the benefits include:
28 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays
The option to buy or sell up to five days’ holiday
Employer pension contributions of up to 10%
Life assurance worth up to five times your salary
Savings with high-street and online retailers
Free counselling, wellbeing support and fitness sessions
Recognition awards
Training and opportunities to develop your careerThe organisation holds the highest three-star Best Companies accreditation and Investors in People Platinum status, with a strong reputation for colleague engagement, development and wellbeing.
What you’ll be doing You’ll take ownership of new home sales from reservation through to legal completion.
That will include:
Managing a pipeline of Shared Ownership and Market Sale properties
Acting as the main contact for solicitors and mortgage brokers
Keeping buyers updated throughout the process
Chasing outstanding information and resolving delays
Identifying anything that may prevent exchange or completion
Working closely with Sales Managers and the regional sales team
Helping the team achieve its sales and completion targets
Producing accurate forecasts for monthly legal completions
Maintaining sales progression and reporting systems
Providing regular updates and reports to management
Making sure legal and regulatory requirements are met
Capturing customer feedback and helping improve the buying experienceWhat are they really looking for? They need someone who understands what happens after a property has been reserved.
You’ll ideally have experience in:
New-build sales progression
Shared Ownership or affordable home ownership
Housing association or developer sales
Estate agency sales progression
Residential conveyancing
Mortgages and the home-buying processYou’ll understand why sales become delayed, what can hold up an exchange and who needs chasing to get things moving again.
You’ll also need to be:
Exceptionally organised
Comfortable managing several live sales at once
Confident speaking with buyers, solicitors and mortgage brokers
Numerate and accurate
Proactive rather than someone who waits to be chased
Comfortable working independently
Competent using Excel, Word and property or sales systems
Calm when three completions are due and everybody suddenly decides to call at onceShared Ownership experience would be especially valuable, but they’ll also consider someone with strong new-build, estate agency or residential sales progression experience who understands mortgages and conveyancing.
Qualifications There is no specific degree or professional qualification required.
What matters is your practical knowledge of property sales, mortgages, conveyancing and progressing customers from reservation through to completion.
This role would suit a Sales Progressor, New Homes Sales Progressor, Shared Ownership Sales Progressor, Property Sales Progressor or Conveyancing Progressor looking to join an organisation with a strong purpose and excellent benefits
