‘Going into 2017, we have already forward sold many homes. The value of our forward sales at 31 December was c.£1,230m – 12 per cent ahead of where we were last year (£1,103m).

‘Our focus in 2017 is to continue delivering homes required by people looking to get onto the property ladder and families looking to grow.’
