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

Significant events
- “During the year to 30 June 2025, Duchy Homes secured 97 legal completions (2024: 124), turnover of £43.43m (2024: £38.58m) and gross profit of £1.55m (2024: £2.95m), representing a resilient performance against a challenging industry backdrop. This resulted in a loss before taxation of £2m (2024: loss £1.00m), which the Board considers reflecting timing factors specific to the year rather than any structural deterioration in the business. The primary driver was a series of planning delays across the Group's sites, which deferred starts on site and displaced sales and profits originally forecast for the year into future periods.”
- “conditions in the new-build housing market have improved since the middle of 2025. Buoyed by 2 separate 25 basis point cuts to the Bank of England base rate since the year end we have been encouraged by a seasonal pick up in both customer enquiries and reservation rates, although we remain mindful of the sensitivity of customer demand to mortgage affordability and the evolving economic backdrop.”
