Listed housebuilder set to publish numbers some time next month

Troubled listed housebuilder and strategic land firm Inland Homes has delayed publication of its results, which it had previously indicated would be released by today.

The company, which has already indicated that it expects to make a 拢90m plus loss for the year to September 2022, said in a short announcement to the City that it now expects to release its results next month as its auditors have said they need more time to finalise the accounts.

The business had promised to release its release its results at 鈥渢he end of February鈥� in a trading update as recently as 25 January, in which it said it was heading for a pre-tax loss of 拢91m as the 鈥渆conomic outlook for the UK housebuilding industry has deteriorated鈥�.
