'I am pleased to announce that home reservations to date are currently some 6%
ahead compared to the same time last year. Whilst the market remains stable but
competitive and against a background of interest rate rises, we await the
traditionally strong Spring selling season with cautious optimism.

The Group will deliver a record number of completions and turnover for the six
months to 31 January and, if current market conditions prevail, is on course to
record increases in completions and turnover for the year ending 31 July 2007.
This will be the sixteenth consecutive year of organic growth.

A trading update providing further details will be issued on Friday 2 February
prior to entering the close period. The Group's Interim Results, for the half
year ending 31 January 2007, will be announced to the Stock Exchange on Tuesday
17 April.'
