The boss of Telford Homes doesn’t believe Brexit will affect housing demand and said he wished the move to leave the EU had never happened. 

Speaking to Housing Today after the group announced its annual results, the housebuilder’s chief executive Jon Di-Stefano highlighted his opposition to Brexit as he explained why his company was shifting its emphasis towards delivering more build-to-rent homes.

Di-Stefano said the housebuilder was mindful of the potential impact of political upheaval in the future, but he said Brexit – “even if it turns out to be a disaster” – would not change the need for housing or the level of demand for housing across the country.
