Significant events
- “Business performance was better than expected and revenue grew by 23% in the year. Organic growth and acquisitions, accounted for roughly equal shares of the increase.”
- “Management expects further growth in the future as existing offices mature and new ones are opened. There is considerable opportunity for the company to expand into new markets in Central and Greater London.”
- “The entire share capital of Life at Parliament View Limited was acquired on 8th October 2023.”
- “Acquisitions made during the year ended 30 September 2024 included: The trade and assets of Marlowe Estates on 30th November 2023; The entire share capital of Colin Dean Residential Limited on 15th December 2023; The trade and assets of London Property Management and Consultancy Ltd on 1st March 2024; The trade and assets of Home-Made UK Properties Limited on 26th July 2024; The entire share capital of EA2 Limited on 9th July 2024; The entire share capital of B&C London Investment Solutions Limited on 20th September 2024.”
- “The entire share capital of the Marsh & Parsons Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries, Marsh & Parsons Limited, Beldhamland Limited, Marshcroft Properties Limited, Vanstons Limited, Vanstons Lettings Limited, Vanstons (Barnes) Limited & Vanstons Commercial Limited, were acquired on 26th January 2023.”
- “Now the new Government is in place, there is more certainty around the macro-economic environment and lower interest rates over the medium term should be beneficial to the residential sales market. However, the Autumn Budget has reduced the expectation of faster interest rate reductions as increased Government borrowing has raised the possibility of an increase in inflation.”
- “Furthermore, the Renters' Rights Bill provides additional regulation to navigate which brings both challenges in the form of the removal of fixed term tenancies, but also an opportunity for the Group to leverage its expertise in dealing with complex legislation and regulation to increase the number of fully managed properties in the portfolio.”
- “The Group may be impacted by the cyclical nature of the property market, in particular changes to prices and transaction levels in both the lettings and residential sales markets. The performance of the Group is influenced by the economic, taxation and regulatory environment, with any policy changes having the potential to result in a significant impact on the housing market.”
- “There are no post balance sheet events to report.”

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
