- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Following a relatively sluggish start, the Group's performance picked up through the second half of 2024 and continued into 2025, thanks to increasing activity in the property and mortgage lending market. At the time of signing these accounts, the directors consider that the Group is in a good position to further improve the performance of its core 'direct' business during 2025.”
- “The Group continues to invest appropriately in all key areas of activity to maintain its prominence, competitiveness and operational efficiency. Investment will continue to improve the Group's bespoke internal software solutions, benefiting an increasing range of the Group's activities, and helping to promote improved internal efficiency and commercial performance.”
