S. HARRISON DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED, YO23 1DE : Companies House Number 03650550

Executive summary

S. Harrison Developments is a group-backed regional land and property developer (mis-coded under SIC 82990 rather than 41100) whose FY2025 results — turnover down 40% to £7.0m but pre-tax profit of £2.47m at a headline 35% margin — are broadly consistent with a lumpy, completion-driven development cycle, though the headline margin is flattered by dividend income from subsidiary undertakings and is not comparable with the 8–18% trading margins typical of the sector. Its genuinely differentiated features are a net-cash, low-gearing balance sheet (£5.8m cash after a £16.4m deployment), a recurring investment property income stream, and a forward-funded PBSA scheme in Edinburgh — placing it at the stronger end of the regional developer cohort, but with scale, scheme-concentration and earnings-transparency constraints relative to larger peers. The principal watch items are the pace of the cash drawdown, build cost inflation on the Canongate scheme, and the continuing drag from the office and retail sub-sectors.
