Leeds digital agency partners with Yorkshire big shots for new house buying scheme

Leeds-based digital agency, Pixelbuilders, have embarked on a new partnership with four high profile Yorkshire entrepreneurs to launch an online platform that will assist house buyers within the county.

Gary Lumby, a former Yorkshire Bank director of small business banking, along with Brilliant Law founder, Matthew Briggs; BiY business network founder, Darren Shaw; and Carter Jonas’ head of commercial in the north, David Aspland; have all taken on non-executive roles while working alongside Pixelbuilders to launch the the ‘New Home Finder’ site.

Furthermore, the former marketing manager for Addleshaw Goddard, Emma Aspland, has also been appointed as the business’ new commercial director.

The new site will feature many of the region’s most prominent home builders including Strata, Persimmon, Redrow and Miller Homes.

Martin Oates, one of pixelbuilders’ three directors, says New Home Finder aims to rid home buyers of the frustration that comes along with building a new property.

Oates said: “Search engines direct you to individual developers’ websites, which you then have to trawl to find schemes in the area you want to live. What we wanted was a site that pulled all of this information together and presented all of the new build schemes available in a specific area. Talking to other people, we quickly realised that we were not alone in our frustration. That’s why we created New Home Finder.”

The New Home Finder site officially launches in Yorkshire this month, and is expected to expand nationally over the coming months.

Darren Shaw added: “As well as an exhaustive directory of new build schemes the region, New Home Finder also offers lifestyle, legal, financial and help to buy advice for home owners. By providing essential information and guidance from experts in each of these fields, the aim is to give people everything they need to find and buy a new home.”
