Two key questions
Why have UK margins fallen in 2005?
What have we done to address these issues?
35
Two key questions
Why have UK margins fallen in 2005?
What have we done to address these issues?
36
Causes of margin reduction
Impact of tough market and mix on selling prices
affordable housing
smaller private product – houses and apartments
southern market significantly weaker
Habitual second half volume weighting reduced business flexibility
Impact of rising costs – mostly land, due to short term landbank
Underperforming businesses and sites affected overall margin
