In addition to seeing profits jump more than 50% (see previous post) Persimmon’s MD notes:

“To meet the ever-increasing demand for new homes, the company is also continuing to invest heavily in strategic land.

Mr Perks added: “During the first six months of the year, the business acquired 14,251 plots of land. These outlets will ensure the group is able to deliver new homes that local communities are keen to acquire.”

Wonder how many will be “affordable”?
