Privately-owned housebuilder Avant Homes is on track for a record year, according to the Chesterfield-based group’s chief executive.

In a trading update Colin Lewis said revenue for the 12 months to 27 April 2018 was forecast to rise 21% to £441m driven by completion growth – up 16% year-on-year to 1,903 units – and ongoing increases in the private average selling price, up 6% to £257,000.

Avant, which employs around 700 staff, had already secured 69% of its targeted first half volumes in the new financial year, Lewis said.
