Vistry has reported a pick-up in demand from housing associations and local authorities as the government\u2019s renewed focus on affordable homes starts to filter through to new contract awards.<\/p>\n

In its latest trading statement, the partnership homes specialist said the group remained on track to deliver year-on-year profit growth for 2025.<\/p>\n

Vistry said demand from registered providers and councils has continued to strengthen since September, with several new partner-funded deals expected to conclude in the final quarter.<\/p>\n

The group highlighted early signs that the government\u2019s affordable housing support measures and its \u00a32bn grant injection were translating into new opportunities.<\/p>\n

Vistry has already begun allocating a \u00a350m grant from Homes England secured earlier this year to accelerate delivery of new schemes.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: \u201cRecent interactions with partners and Government demonstrate an appetite for increased pace in the affordable housing sector and reinforce our optimism for the years ahead.<\/p>\n

“We remain well positioned to play a key role in the delivery of the Affordable Homes Programme and in supporting the broader growth ambitions for the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its forward order book remains steady at \u00a34.3bn as build-out continues across active sites, supported by a rising sales rate of 0.81 since July \u2013 up 11% on last year.<\/p>\n

Open market sales have seen a slight improvement but remain subdued amid wider economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n

The group expects to reduce net debt by year-end as cash performance improves.<\/p>\n
