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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- PKF Francis Clark
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' 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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The accounts for this year show a record financial performance for the firm. Overall income increased by 30% compared to the preceding year, and profitability rose by 29%.”
- “The firm has seen important changes in leadership and structure. A change of Managing Partner took place during the year, and two members exited on 31 March 2025, both moving into newly created strategic employed roles within the business.”
- “Our commitment to talent development and excellence was recognised nationally, with the Conveyancing New Business Team winning Business Support Team of the Year at the Lawnet Awards 2024, and the firm being named Conveyancing Firm of the Year (South) at the LEAP Modern Law Conveyancing Awards 2024.”
- “Substantial IT server upgrades were completed in early 2025, ensuring resilience and efficiency.”
- “Sustainability remains a core focus, with further progress made through our partnership with Positive Planet and investment in sustainable energy infrastructure.”
