Redrow says housing market is finding a new normal

Redrow says housing market is finding a new normal


Redrow’s interims show revenue similar to the record first-half last time at £1,031m (2022: £1,052m). Pre-tax profit was also down only fractionally at £198m (2022: £203m).

The numbers relate specifically to the 26 weeks to 1st January 2023, which is the first half of Redrow’s 2023 financial year.

Chief executive Matthew Pratt said: “Redrow’s proven business model has played an important role during a time of significant political and economic uncertainty. We have award-winning homes and places, a strong forward order book, land acquired in the last few years at good margins, and current cash reserves of £107m. This is despite completing a £100m share buyback exercise on 13th January 2023, just after the financial half-year under review.

“We have experienced a positive start to second half trading. Whilst 2023 will be a challenging year as the market resets, early indications are better than anticipated and the market appears to be finding a new, natural level.

“We entered the second half with a total order book of £1.1bn, of which £0.8bn was private. Our net private reservation rate for the first 5 weeks of the second half was an encouraging 0.51 compared to 0.38 in the first half.  We therefore expect to achieve revenue of around £2.05bn for the full financial year, with an operating margin in the region of 18% to 18.5%.”

Redrow recently became the first large house-builder to begin selling homes fitted with air source heat pumps as standard. Underfloor heating will also now be standard on the ground floor in Redrow’s detached homes.

NuGen Properties built an extension to the rear of my property, replacing the old conservatory. I am so pleased I chose this company. From the initial quotation, through the build and after they were professional, polite & well mannered. They kept the site tidy throughout the build and kept me informed of each stage as it happened. The work was finished to a good standard and I have had nothing but compliments on their work. I am already planning for them to come back and do some more work for me in a few months. I would 100% recommend them.
