OnTheMarket (AIM:OTMP ) has unveiled to investors that it has signed a portal listing agreement with Taylor Wimpey, one of the largest British-based house building companies.

The agreement follows three months of record leads for OnTheMarket during which the portal has seen average visits of 26.8 million per month and an average of 2 million leads per month. Over 2 million leads were generated in August, an increase of 64% year on year.

The majority agent-owned group said that as a result of the agreement, Taylor Wimpey will now be listing all its residential developments and properties for sale at OnTheMarket.com.

Taylor Wimpey, which was amongst the top three housebuilders last year for the number of homes sold with 15,719 completions, has 24 offices across the country and covers most regions in England, Scotland and Wales, with a dedicated office in Central London.

It builds a range of properties, from apartments and smaller homes for first time buyers to larger family homes and premium apartments in Central London, with a broad price range.

Shares in OnTheMarket have traded strongly over the past three months from 76.5p in June to open at 95.0p this morning following the announcement.

The company holds a four-star Trust Pilot rating, meaning it is ‘committed to building high quality homes.’ The group said this is regularly recognised at the National House-Building Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job Awards, which recompenses site managers and their teams who demonstrate excellence and commitment to producing homes of outstanding quality.

"Our new agreement with Taylor Wimpey will add a diverse mix of properties to our new homes channel,” said Helen Whiteley, Commercial Director of OnTheMarket.

She added, “As part of our growth strategy we have continued to attract a wealth of developers and expanding this sector remains a key priority for the portal. I am delighted that another major player in the industry has decided to join OnTheMarket."

"We have watched as OnTheMarket has gathered momentum to become an established portal and believe now is the right time for us to join,” said Ceri Pearce, UK Sales & Marketing Director from Taylor Wimpey.
