Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK AUDIT LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board is satisfied, on the basis of the stress testing and scenario planning undertaken, that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In May 2025, the Board approved a new 3 year Strategic Plan for 2025-2028 setting out the vision, mission and ambitions for the next three year period leading to 2028.”
- “During 2025 we implemented changes to the Sub Committee structure as part of an ongoing review and adoption of best practice.”
- “On 31 July 2023 Osprey Housing Limited ceased to be a member of the Scottish Housing Associations' Pension Scheme.”
- “A Single Entity VAT registration was granted, effective from 1 April 2024.”
- “During 2024-25 Osprey undertook a full review of the rent structure and point allocation for all general needs properties. The variation in rent levels across our stock profile had been highlighted by our Financial Consultants as a key issue for a number of years. However due to the pandemic and instable economic impact this project had not been taken forward until 2024. A full and comprehensive tenant engagement and consultation process had been completed during 2024 with the new rent structure being implemented from 1st April 2025.”

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
