** Co says it has had good demand for new homes so far in 2018, but poor weather conditions in the first few weeks of March have had an impact on sales and build rates

** TW expects completions for 2018 to be more second half weighted than in 2017

** Peel Hunt pulls back PBT forecasts by about 2-3 pct on weather impact

** Jefferies - "The group has lost several days of build due to bad weather, and while housebuilders get the blame for many things, even their fiercest critics don't blame them for the weather"
