LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - British repair and insurance company Homeserve (Other OTC: HMSVF - news) said it was confident of making further progress in its new financial year, after it posted a 4 percent rise in full year group.

The company was expected to report between 82.78 million and 84.74 million, with an average estimate of 83.95 million, according to a Thomson Reuters (Frankfurt: TOC.F - news) poll of 7 analysts. (Reporting by Li-mei Hoang, editing by Louise Heavens)
