The housebuilder said 鈥渕aximising the value achieved from each home completion remains our top priority鈥� and that it was now 鈥渘ow fully sold for our targeted 2012 completions鈥�.

The firm said its and current order book for future completions is 拢1.11 billion (6 November 2011: 拢1.02 billion), with the growth being driven by the private order book.

It said the margin achieved on these sales also showed further improvement on the equivalent position last year and on that achieved on completions in the first half of 2012.

It added that it had also completed a total of 1,179 homes under the government-backed FirstBuy scheme, with 365 of these completed during the second half of the year.

The firm added: 鈥淲e continue to prioritise value creation and margin improvement as we remain focused on the creation of medium to long term value for our shareholders.

鈥淲hile we continue to take a cautious approach, given the uncertainty in the wider economy, conditions within the UK housing market remain stable.

鈥淲e are seeing the benefits of the consistent disciplined approach to land acquisition that we have adopted over the last three years and continue to add attractive short term and particularly strategic sites to our land portfolio.

鈥淲e are confident of delivering full year performance in line with our expectations and with our value-focused strategy, further increased order book, high quality land portfolio and strong balance sheet, we remain well positioned for the future.鈥�
