About Hallstead Meadow
Spirit Homes is a family-run housebuilder. We build affordable, mid-range and premium homes to one standard — quality first — with a focus on energy efficiency and A-rated EPCs. What we say we will deliver, we deliver, and our sales approach has to reflect that: honest, professional and proud of the product.
The role
You will be the face of Spirit on one of our flagship developments: 83 new homes, every one sold on the open market. This is a busy site with a strong flow of leads already coming through — your job is to convert that interest into reservations and completed sales, and to give every buyer a professional, straightforward experience from first enquiry to handover of keys.
You'll run the on-site sales operation Thursday through Monday — covering the weekend period when buyer traffic is at its peak — managing viewings, following up leads, negotiating reservations and keeping every sale moving through to exchange and completion.
Key responsibilities
- Act as the first point of contact for all visitors and enquiries on the development, in person, by phone and by email
- Conduct professional viewings of show homes and plots, presenting the specification, energy performance and build quality with genuine product knowledge
- Manage and follow up all leads promptly, keeping accurate records of every contact and progressing each prospect through the sales pipeline
- Negotiate and secure reservations, take reservation deposits, and manage the buyer journey through solicitors, mortgage milestones, exchange and completion
- Chase sales progression proactively — liaising with solicitors, brokers, IFAs and the buyers themselves to keep every transaction on track
- Work with our appointed estate agency partners where applicable, ensuring a joined-up approach on listings, applicants and viewings
- Present the sales office and show home immaculately at all times, and ensure marketing material on site is current and correct
- Handle every type of buyer professionally — first-time buyers, families, downsizers and investors — tailoring the approach to each
- Report weekly on leads, viewings, reservations and pipeline to the Managing Director
- Gather buyer feedback and market intelligence (pricing, competitor activity) and feed it back to the team
- Support buyers through demonstration and handover of their new home, and deal with immediate post-completion queries with care
