Taylor Wimpey is forecasting “solid” house sales this year, despite worries about the effect of Brexit uncertainty on consumer confidence.

Pete Redfern, Taylor Wimpey’s chief executive, said: “We are confident that our focused strategy of managing the business through the cycle and driving further operational improvements will enable us to continue to deliver a high-quality product and service to our customers, long-term value for shareholders and growth into 2020.”
