London housing developer Mount Anvil has reported a 52% increase in pre-tax profit in the year to 31 December 2013.

The developer posted pre-tax profit of £15.4m, up from £10.1m the previous year, while turnover increased 50% to £162.2m.

The value of Mount Anvil’s development pipeline at year end was £930m, up from £665m the previous year and equating to 1,333 homes.

Killian Hurley, chief executive of Mount Anvil, said supply of land remained a key issue despite the record profit.

Hurley said: “We’re keen to build more outstanding London homes, but additional quality sites need to be made available to developers like us who have the expertise and capacity to deliver.â€

Mount Anvil is planning to deliver 2,500 new London homes by 2018.

Its average selling price is £535,000 with 97% of 2014 sales already secured.

Its schemes include The Filaments residential towers scheme in Wandsworth (pictured).
