Home buyers' confidence remains high, claims housebuilder

A housebuilder has announced a year of record output, following strong sales from its previous financial year.

Barratt Developments Yorkshire, which includes both the Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes brands, completed 1,437 homes across the region over the last financial year.

Ian Ruthven, managing director for Barratt Homes Yorkshire West, said: “We’ve seen no slowing of our sales in the region, demonstrating buyers’ confidence in the housing market.

"I’m thrilled this has been another strong year and would urge those interested in buying a property to look around and speak to sales advisors about the mortgage options available to them – now is a great time to buy!”

The housebuilder has another 30 developments planned across Yorkshire this year and is urging house hunters to take advantage of the government’s Help to Buy scheme and the developer’s innovative Part Exchange offering.
