Going concern

Affirmed

“Accordingly, the Directors consider there to be no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue to operate as a going concern. They have formed a judgement that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Company has traded satisfactorily throughout a challenging financial year, however results have been severely impacted by ongoing issues at legacy properties requiring an additional £78.2m provision to be set aside for addressing external wall systems and associated issues, in particular, an unexpected obligation that was identified on 21 February 2025 in respect of fire safety-related issues at a development in our Southern region. The remediation and associated cost with respect to the four buildings on this site are estimated to be £76.4m.”
• “In May 2025, the Group won a landmark Supreme Court case which clarified the responsibility of companies in the supply chain for remediating defects in developments they were involved in.”

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
