Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Consequently, the Board are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. And therefore, have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Demand for open market homes have been impacted by higher interest rates and resulted in turnover from open market sales reducing by £12.2m to £25.7m.”
- “Indicators are suggesting the housing market will remain slow but with some growth throughout 2025/26 financial year.”
- “The stamp duty changes which came into effect on 1 April 2025 are having a negative impact on transaction levels and values are not yet showing any signs of increasing.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
