“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, with the directors having made an assessment that this is appropriate.

Significant events
- “On 21 March 2025, the share capital of Mersea Homes (Westerfield) Limited was acquired by Mersea Homes Limited.”
- “The Company has an outstanding legal claim, for which a settlement has been agreed between the parties subject to a 2026 court approval process. The claim is expected to be covered by the Company's insurance, in accordance with the terms of that settlement. Since the settlement arose post year end, this has been treated as a non-adjusting post balance sheet event.”
