The boss of Vistry Partnerships has said the housebuilder is set to announce more forward sales deals of 1,000 homes or more in the next few weeks as it aims to ramp up delivery to more than 20,000 homes a year.

Stephen Teagle told Housing Today the firm, which is merging its traditional housebuilding arm into its partnerships business, is planning to supplement its strategy of small deals with partners such as housing associations with large “portfolio deals” of 1,000 homes or more.
