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

- Affirmed
“The property market that matters most to us is the volume of properties coming for sale and that number is steady and predictable whatever market conditions prevail. Our expectations for 2025 are positive with reductions in interest rates making mortgages more competitive again. We expect to see listing volumes at their long-term average of between 1.5m and 1.6m. The directors are confident that we will remain profitable were volumes to decline.”
Significant events
- “The company executed our growth strategy achieving revenue growth of 7% compared to 2023.”
- “We have also redeemed the remaining preference shares in 2024 to reduce our future interest burden.”
