Sheffield-based MJ Gleeson completed the sale of 951 units during the period, an increase of 17.3% on the previous first half-year’s total of 811 units. As a result the division is on track to deliver full year unit completions at least in line with expectations.

Gleeson opened 17 new sites during the first half-year and expects to open at least another 10 sites during the second half. By the end of the financial year the division expects to be actively building on approximately 80 sites and actively selling on at least 65 sites.

In addition the board has reaffirmed its target of delivering 2,000 units a year in the middle of 2022.

A spokesperson said: "All sites are Covid-secure, remain open for construction and sales, and are operating in line with the most recent government lockdown requirements.

"Gleeson Strategic Land sold four sites during the first half-year. With stronger demand for high quality consented land from medium and large housebuilders the division is actively progressing the sale of a further four sites."

Gleeson, who will report its half year results next month, said it anticipated finacials will be in line with expectations.
