Top 20 House Builders 2011

In the Top 20 House Builders league table, the picture was marginally healthier than in 2010, when the total pre-tax loss was a staggering £1.8bn. This time round, the top 20 managed an £80m profit collectively. However, the top two, Taylor Wimpey and Barratt, still suffered big losses, albeit considerably less than in 2010. They must look enviously at 3rd placed Persimmon, which enjoyed a 10% margin on a £1.5bn turnover. Most house builders enjoyed a decent year, with 16 of the top 20 experiencing growth in revenue.
