“In the past five years we have increased our annual output by more than 53%, built more than 71,700 homes and approved the investment of over £4.4 billion in new land for housing. The market remains strong as a result of improved mortgage availability and Government support for first time buyers and we will continue to grow in a way that delivers for the needs of homebuyers and shareholders alike.”
