Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors consider that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on this basis having considered all relevant information, including the Group's trading and cash flow forecasts, the trading opportunities available to the Group and the ongoing support of its banks. The Group has prepared a base case model which has examined scenarios where there is a significant downturn in sales rates and at relevant sites the inclusion of significant sales price provisions. When required, the Group has then modelled in the base case scenario how it would protect its cash resources by delaying all non-essential site expenditure, ensuring that it still remains compliant with all banking covenants.”

Significant events
- “Despite this, Weston Homes PLC ("Weston Homes") completed 595 new homes and handed over 470 homes to the highest standard.”
- “A key strategic shift in the year was the move to include Build-To-Rent (BTR) via our new Partnership Division.”
- “In a challenging environment Weston Homes have managed to maintain a robust balance sheet, whilst reducing our liabilities to our lenders with a reduction in our debt by £33.6m in the year.”
- “Weston Homes signed the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) long form "Self Remediation Contract" during 2023, confirming our commitment to rectifying any life critical fire safety issues for buildings of 11 metres and above in England that we have developed over the last 30 years. During 2024 Weston Homes signed up to the Joint Plan to accelerate develop led remediation that requires developers to complete all assessments of buildings that fall under the scope of the Developer Remediation Contract by July 2025 and commence work on all affected buildings by July 2027. We are happy to report that all assessments of our previous developments 11 meters and above have now been completed during the year.”

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
