The benefits of multi-branding
Access to a wider customer base
Having more differentiated brands and a wider product range on our sites attracts a larger audience of potential homebuyers to our developments.
Viability of larger sites unlocked
The ability to accelerate both the build and sales processes increases the viability of larger sites by compensating for the increased upfront investment required.
Time on site greatly reduced
Our experience shows that building multiple brands simultaneously quickens the sell through of homes, greatly reducing the overall time and associated overheads needed on the site, benefiting both capital and operating efficiency.
Improved ROCE
The combination of improved capital and operational efficiency improves ROCE and accelerates cash generation.
Partner of choice
Our strong relationships throughout the value chain give us insight, flexibility and resilience, supporting our long-term growth.
The West London PartnershipThe West London Partnership is Transport for London's largest partnership to date through its property arm Places for London. Through it we plan to deliver over 4,000 homes over the next decade. The Bollo Lane development is the first project to be announced by the partnership.
Benefits for Barratt Redrow
Transport for London is one of the capital's largest landowners. The partnership gives us access to underutilised land, such as the Bollo Lane development, and the opportunity to work with a partner who also places high importance on sustainability.
Benefits for our customers
Bollo Lane will deliver c. 50% affordable housing as well as two on-site gardens and highly efficient buildings will generate lower energy bills for residents. The wider community will benefit from the creation of a new public square and community garden on land that was previously inaccessible to the public.
RSPB
Barratt has been engaged in partnership with the RSPB since 2014. The advice and expertise provided by the RSPB ensure that developments incorporate as many biodiverse features as possible, and it will be supporting us in the development of new Species Enhancement Plans from summer 2025.
Benefits for Barratt Redrow
By partnering with the RSPB we can gain expert knowledge, helping us to progress our on-site biodiversity targets and providing innovation opportunities for both parties.
Benefits for our customers
The advice gained through our collaboration helps to produce better developments for both wildlife and people. Together, we also provide customers with tips, advice and expert guides to help them create gardens that they and local wildlife can enjoy.

MADE PartnershipThe MADE Partnership is a joint venture between Barratt Redrow, Homes England
and Lloyds Banking Group. MADE is a uniquely positioned master developer and aims to create the best new places and towns where people will aspire to live. This means thoughtful placemaking and plenty of public and green spaces, alongside community infrastructure. It will use its distinct offer, expertise and funding to enable new towns and support local authorities with large-scale development of thousands of homes
over the coming decades.
Each partner brings its own skills and expertise. Barratt Redrow brings experience and capabilities in land assembly, placemaking
and project development; Lloyds Banking Group has a long-standing and comprehensive commitment to help deliver the country's housing need both as a provider of capital and an investor in the private rental sector; and Homes England has the ability to harness Government agencies to help align interests, unlock potential obstacles and drive development.
The partnership won "Deal of the Year (up to £200m)" at the 2025 RESI Awards, with the judges commenting that: "This
unique collaboration combines expertise in housebuilding, financing and Government policy to unlock and accelerate complex residential projects, potentially revolutionising master development."

using Gladman expertise.
Gladman
Gladman is the country's largest land promotion business, with a controlled portfolio of 113,940 potential plots. Gladman operates at arm's length from the Barratt Redrow homebuilding operations and provides sites with planning permission to both Barratt Redrow and the wider housebuilding industry. In FY25 Gladman sold 3,755 plots on behalf of its landowner partners, of which 268 were secured by Barratt Redrow, following a competitive tender. As a result of the Government's planning reforms, Gladman has increased the number of promotional sites being submitted into the planning system, in order to deliver a growing portfolio of current land plots for sale. Gladman is able to offer their expertise to assist Barratt Redrow to identify freehold strategic land for purchase.
Current land bank
Our target land bank length is 3.5 years on a trailing basis, with a further 1 year of controlled land. Our current land bank size, totalling 108,655 plots at 29 June 2025, is sufficient to support growth to 22,000 total home completions in the medium term. As such, we can maintain our disciplined approach to selective land buying in the open market, whilst utilising our additional land channels, to unlock and acquire high-quality sites that will complement our existing land bank over the coming years.
Strategic landWe have, over many years, developed a substantial strategic land bank which stands at 145,043 potential plots. We are optimistic about the Government's proposed planning reforms which would give us a significantly
enhanced opportunity to bring forward strategic
sites into the planning system.

Financial strength
Our financial strength allows us to invest in growth and deliver strong returns to
shareholders through every stage of the cycle.
Medium-term financial prioritiesOur strong balance sheet gives us the foundation to invest, grow and generate attractive returns through the following medium-term financial priorities:
Capital allocation prioritiesWe have three main capital allocation
priorities: maintaining a strong balance
Finally, our commitment to delivering attractive shareholder returns remains unchanged. We are continually reviewing
Synergy delivery
The acquisition of Redrow has provided the opportunity for cost and revenue synergies. In FY25, our cost synergies target was increased from £90m to
£100m, with £20m of cost synergies delivered in FY25 profits with a further benefit of c. £45m expected in FY26.
Revenue synergies reflect the creation of 45 incremental sales outlets through FY28,
of which 5 have already achieved planning consent at the year end, accelerating sales, unlocking margin improvement and improving our land bank efficiency and asset turn.
Sustainable growth
Our 32 homebuilding divisions have the capacity and capabilities to deliver 22,000 total home completions in the medium term.
Driving volume recovery will improve fixed cost efficiency, supporting improvement in profitability and cash generation, thereby enhancing our financial strength. Our commitment to industry leadership in both build quality and customer service will remain steadfast.
Margin improvement
Our gross margin has been affected in recent years by the sharp increase
in build costs, lower home completion volumes and increased sales incentives. However, disciplined land buying, stable build costs, accelerating home completion volumes and synergy delivery will help us to improve our gross margin to 20% or more in the medium term.
sheet; investing to both improve and grow our business; and delivering attractive shareholder returns.
A strong balance sheet gives us the foundation to invest, grow and generate attractive returns. Our aim is to hold net average cash throughout the year, make use of land creditors and be mindful of other medium-term financial commitments.
Investing to improve and grow our business includes our ongoing commitment to maintain our land bank at a level to support our goal
to deliver 22,000 total home completions in the medium term, as well as other initiatives centred on improving security of supply and innovation for our business over the long term.
the most appropriate way to do this and consulting our shareholders in the process. In February 2025 we announced that, from FY26, we will commence a share buyback programme under which the intention is to buyback at least £100m annually in addition to a revised annual dividend based on adjusted earnings, before adjustments to present acquired Redrow assets and liabilities at their fair value, at 2.0 times dividend cover. Of the share buyback programme, a £50m first tranche was executed in the second half of FY25.
