Bellway is today (12 June) issuing a trading update in respect of the period from 1 February to 3 June 2018.
Highlights
For the full year, anticipated volume growth of around 600 homes should enable the Group to complete the sale of in excess of 10,000 homes for the first time in its history.
In addition, an expected average selling price in excess of £280,000 and an anticipated operating margin of around 22%, should contribute to another year of substantial earnings growth.

Substantial investment in land, with £678 million spent on land and land creditors since 1 August (2017 – £586 million), securing future growth at attractive rates of return.
