- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In this financial year house sales turnover was up by 3% whilst unit completions were down by 6% on the previous year due to the mix between market and affordable housing plots.”
- “The housing market continued to be extremely challenging during the period with interest rates remaining higher than anticipated and economic uncertainty causing house prices to reduce.”
- “At the year ended 30 April 2025 the Company breached bank covenants which were subsequently waived. Under the new facilities the Company does not breach covenants in future periods based on forecasts. The facilities are due for renewal on 8 March 2026, from discussions the directors expect the facility to be renewed and the Company's bankers to continue to support the business.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
