Sustainability Reporting Standard
We are pleased to announce the publication of our Sustainability Report for 2020/21. The report can be obtained by clicking the link or accessing our sustainability page at https://www.livewest.co.uk/about-us/sustainability.
Financial and Operating Performance
Turnover for the period of GBP136m is higher than in 2020 (GBP115m) due to GBP4m higher rental and other social income and GBP17m due to higher shared ownership and open market sales.
Operating costs were GBP22m higher in the period mainly as a result of GBP14m higher cost of sales of the sale of shared ownership and open market homes. Repair costs were GBP7m higher both due to spend returning to normal levels following the lower level of spend in the period to September 2020 as a result of COVID and increases for fire safety costs.
Surplus for the period is GBP33m (2020: GBP40m). The reduction is primarily due to a lower surplus on disposal of housing fixed assets; 2020 included GBP14m relating to sales of homes outside our core operating area.

Sales of open market (our share only, if part of a joint venture) and shared ownership homes totalled 217 units for the period (2020: 145).
Sales and margins on housing sales continue to perform strongly with the shared ownership slightly reduced in the period due to the mix of sites.
