As well as creating better places for people to live across England and Scotland, we know our success depends on playing our part in building the sustainable communities and enhanced environments our customers and partners value. Working with our partners we have built thousands of new homes across the country, 69% of them on brownfield sites, transforming them into thriving new communities. As a leading homebuilder for first time buyers, we help people take their first step on the property ladder with our average selling price at £179,000. Above all, we are committed to delivering more of the high quality, multi-tenure, new homes the UK needs at prices that people can afford. In the last year, we maintained a 5-star customer satisfaction score with the Home Builders Federation. Creating sustainable value through the development process (Building Communities.
