LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's second-biggest housebuilder by volume Persimmon (L:PSN) said on Thursday that its revenue rose 13 percent last year as it built more homes, boosted by strong sales in the second half of the year.

Persimmon, which builds homes across the country apart from central London, said its revenue rose to 2.9 billion pounds in 2015, slightly above market expectations.

The firm saw the average selling price of the 14,572 homes it built last year rise 4.5 percent to just under 200,000 pounds, reflecting the increase in house prices across Britain.
