AREA ESTATES LIMITED

Active

Executive summary

Area Estates Limited remains active and solvent with audited accounts filed on time, but its equity cushion has narrowed sharply to under £1 million against a £246 million balance sheet. The company recorded an £8.4 million after-tax loss in the latest year, eroding most of the £9.4 million equity held the prior year, while property stock increased and turnover fell. Filings are current and auditors have confirmed the going concern basis is appropriate, though the margin for error is thin.
