SOUTH EAST DEVELOPMENTS LTD
Company number 07117313 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
South East Developments Ltd presents a reasonable credit proposition with a 15-year track record and net assets of £1.89M, but the property development business model carries inherent cyclicality and stock concentration risk. The most recent year shows declining profitability (P&L reserve fell by £58,515) and a halving of cash reserves to £143K, while stock represents 72% of total assets. Any credit facility should be secured against specific development assets, subject to LTV covenants, and supported by a personal guarantee from the controlling director.
