LONDON (ShareCast) - Inland swung into a full-year profit and said the next 12 months will represent a period of considerable growth for the brown field site development group.
Pre-tax profit came to £1.12m for the year ended 30 June compared to a loss of £0.68m last time on turnover of £5.47m.
“In response to changes in sentiment in the housebuilding industry, recent announcements by some of the major housebuilders have indicated a greater preference towards acquiring sites that already have planning consent and accordingly are less speculative,” said the group.
“The directors consider that Inland is well placed to capitalise on such a shift in sentiment further endorsing the company's existing product offering,” it added.
