About this business
A small residential developer based in suburban Edinburgh, working since 2016 on small schemes of new family homes and infill plots. A team of 3 finds land, manages the build through local contractors and handles sales with estate agents. Turnover has grown from £1.44m in 2021 to £1.65m and EBITDA from £75k to £117k, though margins are slim at about 7%. The office is leased. A buyer would take on the team, the contractor relationships and a method for delivering modest schemes. The asking price is £600k.
