Avant Homes has finalised an agreement with the government to postpone its building safety payments. In its financial results covering the 52 weeks to June 30 2025, the housebuilder said it had completed a payment plan agreement with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) relating to its obligations under the Developer Remediation Contract (DRC) in England. This means Avant is no longer expected to undertake or procure works to remediate buildings for which it is responsible under the DRC.
