- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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, and consequently they consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation. The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events
- “While the 2025 financial year brought more market stability than 2024, the delay in interest rate cuts and high mortgage rates continued to impact affordability and therefore customers' ability to transact during that year, particularly for first time buyers post the removal of Help to Buy in 2023.”
- “Build to Rent ('BTR') is becoming a more important part of the UK market and during the past year we have built relationships with partners in this sector to facilitate more families having access to this tenure of quality homes.”

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
