- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that for the foreseeable future the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors performed an assessment in relation to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, this included assessing its current position and reviewing future cash flow forecasts with considerations to entity specific factors. Accordingly, the Directors believe in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and as minimum for a period of twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Following a refinancing agreement in 2022, amounts owed to related parties that were previously owed to Vistry Linden Limited and Wates Group Limited, were restructured and the loans became payable to Vistry Wates Finance LLP, their immediate parent undertaking following the restructure.”

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
