Exclusive Leads List
£165+VAT Per Month
The new leads list link will be sent out at the start of each week. You will recieve 1 lead list per week (Sent on a Monday morning - 4 in total for the monthly subscription). This offer is restricted to one company or person per trade (Builder, Plumber, Roofer, Glazier, Electrician) per Council Area. Once the roles have been filled for that Council Area the offer will close. Interested parties still be able to apply for other remaining Council areas nearby.
* The list may vary in the number of leads each week, as we only deliver the newest/latest planning application submissions for the bigger jobs such as building extensions and loft conversions, so this is dependent on the planning applications submitted for that week*
