Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Cooper Parry Group Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On that basis, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. 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 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
- “The year to 31 May 2026 has started on an optimistic note with Woodall Homes continuing to show signs of recovery and growth following a challenging 18-24 month period felt across the construction sector.”
- “During the year, a breach occurred in one of the covenants attaching to the RCF at one of the quarterly test points. Such a breach automatically triggered a breach of the loan facilities issued by BGF the groups main investor. The breach was waived by both lenders. In the year, the group has extended the duration of its RCF and certain covenants have been reset to reflect the groups trading pattern more realistically.”
- “In December 2024 two of the group's directors, along with Business Growth Fund, the group's principal external investor, introduced loans totalling £1.5m as a demonstration of their commitment, and to provide headroom within existing facilities as the group sells existing stocks and continues development of several larger sites and completes the purchase of additional sites held under option.”

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
