In the period the company expanded its geographical presence with strategic land acquisitions in Inverness and entered the private rented sector working with Sigma PRS Management.
Innes Smith, CEO of Springfield Properties, said: “We are pleased to have achieved another period of growth resulting from progress across our business and, in particular, delivering strong improvement in gross margin. Our acquisitions are performing well and we are realising benefits group-wide. We continued to expand geographically with strategic land purchases in Inverness and we made good progress in advancing our developments through the planning system, including receiving consent, post-period, for over 3,000 homes at Durieshill, Stirling – the largest detailed planning consent to ever be granted in Scotland.”
