The Group is on track to deliver full year 2020 results towards the upper end of market expectations.
Taylor Wimpey now projects 2021 completions to be between 85-90% of 2019 levels. The Group expects to recommence ordinary dividend payments in 2021, starting with the payment of the 2020 final dividend. The Group will review the special dividend in 2021 for payment in 2022.
