LONDON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - The price of a new British home has started to climb, according to housebuilders Redrow (RDW.L) and Taylor Wimpey (TW.L) who also reported stabilising sales, bolstering the sector and signs of growing consumer confidence.

Taylor Wimpey, Britain's second largest housebuilder by market value, said on Wednesday it was fully sold for 2009 and was bullish on a recovery, albeit at a sluggish pace.

The average price for private homes is 9 percent higher than the first half at 177,670 pounds ($292,500), it said.
