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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 group's and the parent 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 ended 31 March 2025 continued to present challenges for the property industry. Although interest rates saw modest reductions, they remained high relative to previous years, and inflationary pressures persisted. Despite this environment, by leveraging our core strengths we achieved growth in revenue across both property sales and lettings.”
- “Property prices and investment returns remain relatively restrained, influenced in part by the change of Government in 2024 and several forthcoming regulatory and tax reforms.”
- “The Renters Rights Bill has now been passed, with the first phase of implementation scheduled for 1 May 2026. This new legislative framework may discourage some landlords from participating in the private rented sector, potentially reducing overall business activity.”
