Housebuilder’s chief executive says firm ‘mindful’ over the current path of interest rates

The £3.5bn turnover housebuilder said the demand, which while down sharply from the same time last year, represented a bounce back from the lows experienced in the wake of last autumn’s mini Budget, and left the firm on track to build around 11,000 homes in the current financial year to 31 July.
