Would an EA have more to gain from a new build sale or a second hand house sale?

Would anyone know / guess at if the commission for selling a new build would be more or less than the 1% charge for a second hand house?

I'd guess - as they're selling numerous new properties - that they'd be on a bulk deal for commission with the builders and possibly less than 1%?

Possibly more hassle selling existing properties, so they might attract a slightly higher fee.
