“Mortgage volumes across remortgage activity and the housing market were at normal levels in 2024. Volumes previously impacted by rising interest rates creating affordability challenges for lenders and borrowers were reversed with lenders and borrowers gaining confidence in market conditions. Lenders customer retention remained very positive, therefore remortgage levels are yet to return to pre-covid levels with product transfers the preference for the majority of borrowers. As the year progresses high early year pipelines will flow through to completion and the second half of the year has the greatest number of product expires which will drive remortgage activity. The Company holds no debt and has a net asset position of £9.5m at 31st December 2024 (2023: £7.8m). The Directors have prepared forecasts covering a period through to December 2026. These forecasts reflect an assessment of current and future market conditions and their impact on the Company's financial performance and position. A number of stress tests have been performed to assess the Company's ability to continue as a going concern with a focus on profitability and cash generation, noting that any reduction in volumes could be partially mitigated by cost savings. The Company can continue to operate within its available funds based on reasonably worst case scenarios. Having considered all of the above, the Directors remain confident that the Company will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
