Taylor Wimpey will start reopening its show homes and sales centres from next Friday, it said a day after the Government announced estate agents could resume viewings.
Customers will be able to pre-book appointments from May 22. Taylor Wimpey has already restarted construction at most of its sites.
Most furloughed sales staff should be recalled by May 18, with the majority of the remaining staff back at work before the end of the month.
Sales rates at Taylor Wimpey have remained stable, with signs of increased activity since the housebuilder revealed plans to restart construction three weeks ago.
During the lockdown period the company sold 408 homes. It has an order book worth around £2.7 billion.
Chief executive Pete Redfern said: “This relaxation of the rules by Government and the clear desire to reopen the housing market is very welcome.
“However, we believe that it is our responsibility to apply these rules carefully and protect the health of our customers and employees.
“Our people are looking forward to being able to welcome customers to their sales offices and show homes, energised by new skills developed in serving customers digitally over the last seven weeks.”
