We are continuing to discuss further projects with infrastructure providers, and we remain very excited about the substantial opportunities in the region," Chief Executive Officer Innes Smith comments. "Looking to the full year, we continue to expect to deliver underlying growth when excluding the exceptional contribution of land sales to FY 2025. We are hopeful that an increase in consumer confidence following the publication of the UK budget, along with interest rate cuts, will provide a boost to homebuying."
