Bellway Poised for Profit Growth Amid Strong Market Demand
Bellway, one of the UK’s leading housebuilders, is on track to deliver a strong financial performance as robust market demand and increased buyer confidence drive higher home sales and revenues. The Newcastle-based firm expects to complete up to 8,700 homes in its 2025 financial year, marking a significant increase of around 1,000 units compared to the previous year.
The business is also benefiting from a higher average selling price of approximately £315,000, reflecting resilient demand across its national portfolio. Forward orders have risen by 7.7%, with 5,759 homes already secured providing a strong foundation for continued growth.
Chief Executive Jason Honeyman noted that Bellway has delivered a “solid trading performance,” positioning the company for 20% cumulative volume growth by July 2026. He emphasised the company’s ability to leverage its operational strengths, extensive land bank, and disciplined approach to capital efficiency to support long-term growth and improved returns.
Bellway’s strategic focus on cash generation and outlet expansion is a key driver behind its positive outlook. The firm continues to invest in new developments while maintaining a strong balance sheet, enabling it to respond effectively to shifting market dynamics.
The company’s growing portfolio includes a wide range of developments across the UK, such as Meadowcroft in Longframlington, Hartwell Park in Hartlepool, and Clifford Gardens in Skipton. Urban and suburban locations like Roman Gate in Melton Mowbray and Cavendish Grove in Raynes Park, London further demonstrate its reach and diversity.
With a healthy forward order book, a clear growth strategy, and strong market fundamentals, Bellway is well positioned to capitalise on current opportunities and deliver enhanced value to shareholders in the year ahead.
