(Reuters) - Britain's second largest homebuilder Persimmon Plc <PSN.L> reported a 5 percent rise in first half revenue on Thursday, fuelled by improved house sales and a 1.2 percent rise in average prices.
Total revenue rose to 1.84 billion pounds from 1.75 billion pounds in the six months ended June 30.
Smaller rival Bovis Homes Group Plc <BVS.L> also reported better-than-expected rise in sales.
