It said:"Whilst it is still too early to assess what long-term impact the EU Referendum result will have on the UK housing market, there has been no meaningful change to date, with trading in the last month at a normal seasonal range with a net private sales rate of 0.65.
"The net private sales rate for the year to date (w/e 24 July 2016) is 0.77 (2015 equivalent period: 0.78).
"Since 24 June, the early forward confidence indicators amongst homebuyers, together with the continued competitive lending by mortgage providers, have been encouraging and support confidence in the resilience of the UK housing market.
"We are monitoring both our own internal measures of customer confidence and external data closely."
However it did warn that the longer-term impact of the referendum is uncertain.
In general the housebuilders results were positive with profits and revenues increasing from the same period in 2015.
