Significant events
- “The Group met its day to day working capital requirements through the cash flow generated from the sale of residential properties, with further liquidity provided through the use of a £250m committed Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") provided by 3rd party lenders ("Lenders").”
- “Since the balance sheet date, the Group and its Lenders have been engaged in constructive discussions for a restructuring of the RCF to extend the tenor of that facility to support the working capital requirements of the Group on an ongoing basis. At the date of approval of these financial statements, those discussions are nearing conclusion, and the Lenders remain fully supportive of the Group.”
- “Principal terms have been agreed with MHCLG in respect to entering into a payment plan relating to the Group's obligations under a Developer Remediation Contract ("DRC") in England ahead of finalising long form documentation. No material changes are envisaged, and the agreement will see payments deferred and spread over a number of years.”

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
