Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Accordingly, the directors have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and consequently they consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.”
Significant events
- “The company had another successful year, despite prevailing market and economic uncertainty, the short-term disruption caused by the UK general election and continued high comparable interest rates. Sustained volumes, revenues and gross margins, despite the continuing labour and supply challenges, and cost inflation, have supported the investment in resources required to underpin the regional structure to consolidate its performance and continue to work towards its Five Year Plan of over 600 homes per annum.”
- “Ongoing challenges in the planning system have provided a hurdle to the company's continued progressing of land opportunities, however the land bank and pipeline remains in a strong position to consolidate and maintain the future trading volumes of the business. The objective is to maintain the optimal scale for the business that has now been reached by continuing to develop sufficient sales outlets.”
- “Interest rates remained high during the financial year to 29 September 2024 due to the significant rise in rates during 2023, which can impact sales activity as a result of the increasing borrowing costs for customers. Labour and material supply also continues to hamper delivery of new housing as a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Brexit and the delays in the UK planning system.”

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
