About this business
A small house builder in the Southampton area building homes on infill plots and small sites, and selling to private buyers and housing associations. It runs from leased offices in the suburbs with a core team of 8, using subcontracted trades on site. Turnover has grown slowly to £2.55m since 2023, but EBITDA has fallen each year from £501k to £409k as costs have risen faster than sale prices. A buyer would want to review the land pipeline and margins on current schemes, but takes on a lean team that delivers homes to a good standard.
Key investment highlights
- Turnover of £2.55m
- Lean core team of 8
- Infill and small-site schemes
- EBITDA of £409k
Reason for sale
