- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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
- “Market conditions continued to be influenced by affordability pressures, mortgage availability and wider economic uncertainty, resulting in cautious buyer behaviour.”
- “The recent war in Iran and continuing conflicts in the Ukraine have increased pressure on inflation and expectations of Bank of England base rate reductions are not flowing through as a result.”
- “Interest rates remained elevated for much of the period as the Bank of England continued its efforts to manage inflation.”
- “Planning constraints remain especially pronounced across South Coast locations, with environmental considerations such as nutrient neutrality continuing to restrict the release of developable land.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
