Pete Redfern, chief executive, said: “We have used the opportunity of a stable and positive housing market to make significant progress towards our medium-term financial and quality objectives.”
Since May Taylor Wimpey said sales rates have been above expectations and sales price growth has increased due to increased consumer confidence and mortgage availability and cost.
