Rosemary Edwards, head of residential development at Shulmans, said: “We’ve seen growth across our house builder client base, including national companies like Barratt and David Wilson Homes, regional house builders such as Harron Homes and Duchy Homes, and social housing providers like Home Group.
“Shulmans currently handles approximately 2,000 of these transactions a year, meaning that our figures provide a representative snapshot of the wider-industry, which is good news all round for the house building sector.”
Earlier this week Bovis and Persimmon reported increased half-year sales of 2.5% and 7% respectively.
