Housebuilding heavyweight Springfield Properties has predicted that the low carbon energy drive will fuel a housing boom in northern Scotland after cutting its exposure to the central belt market.

Springfield expects to benefit from a surge in net zero infrastructure development, which it reckons will require new housing for thousands of additional workers.

The company boosted its balance sheet in February by selling a portfolio of sites that it said were primarily located across Central Scotland for £64m to giant rival Barratt Redrow.

Springfield said then that the proceeds from the land sale would be used to reduce the company’s bank debt and “capitalise on the significant growth opportunities emerging in the North of Scotland”.

In an update on trading in the year to May 31 issued yesterday, Moray-based Springfield underlined its confidence in the wisdom of that judgement.

The company said: “Springfield's strategic focus going forward is on the North of Scotland where the Board believes substantial opportunities exist driven by incoming UK Government-financed net zero infrastructure development.

“The net zero infrastructure development will require new housing for the thousands of additional workers that are needed to deliver and operate the projects as well as the long-term growth in population as a result of the economic stimulus to the region.”

Springfield’s chief executive Innes Smith reckons the development of net zero infrastructure is well underway in the area the company is targeting. Springfield is working with the infrastructure providers, the Scottish Government and the Highland and Moray councils to address the need for housing.

The net zero investment does not appear to have allowed Springfield to outperform the market in recent months, amid concerns about the outlook for the broader economy.

The company said: “In private housing … sales during the year continued to be impacted by subdued market conditions.”

The group’s portfolio includes the Dawn Homes, Walker Group, Tulloch Homes and Mactaggart & Mickel businesses, which it has acquired in the last seven years.

Springfield highlighted apparent caution on the part of existing homeowners, who may be less eager to complete deals that first time buyers.

The company noted: “The Group experienced a lengthening of the sales cycle, particularly from existing homeowner buyers. Therefore, while reservation rates have remained steady, private housing completions have been slightly lower than anticipated.”

Pressure on private home sales has been offset by an increase in affordable housing revenues accompanied by a significant improvement in the related gross profit margin. Springfield said the margin returned to double digits.

On its website, Springfield says its Partnerships division works with councils, housing associations, and registered social landlords across Scotland.

In the update the company said the improvement in gross margin was primarily due to it having completed its low-margin legacy contracts at the end of the preceding year. The contracts delivered in the latest financial year were agreed on “much stronger commercial terms”.

The land sale deal agreed with Barratt Redrow also provided a boost to profits.

Springfield told investors: “The Group's land sales were highly profitable and, as a result, the Group expects to report a substantial increase in profit before tax for the year, in line with current market expectations.”

The group said it is in talks about other potential land sales without providing details.

Springfield expects to be able to use the proceeds of the deal agreed with Barratt Redrow to fund investment in its preferred areas and to be able to clear its bank debt.

The deal covered the sale of six sites, five of which have completed. The sale of the sixth site is expected to complete in coming weeks.

The group reduced bank debt to £21m at the end of the latest year, from £39.9m at the end of the preceding period.

In the year to May 31 2024 Springfield made £9.7m profit before tax on sales of £267m.

Springfield is still active in the central belt market. It is working with Barratt Redrow on plans for a big development near Stirling under a deal agreed in June last year.

Figures from Halifax suggest the Scottish market has been in better shape than much of the UK in recent months.

On Monday the latest house price index from the lender showed the average house price rose by 4.9% in Scotland in the year to June 30, to £214,891.

The average price rose by 2.6% across the UK, to £296,665.

In a first quarter trading update issued in April, Barratt Redrow said it had delivered a solid private reservation performance.

The company said: “The fundamentals for our industry remain strong, with a clear need for new homes across all tenures and a national focus on accelerating delivery.”

Barratt Redrow will publish its next trading update on July 17.

Shares in Springfield Properties closed up 2.5p, at 103p, on the main market of the London Stock Exchange.

I tried a dummy 15,000 share sale this morning to check ADVFN's Bid price and was offered 101.5p. Didn't sell though.

Positive trading statement - I'm suprising the share price has jumped higher today.
Posted at 08/7/2025 10:00 by swiss paul when the SPR share price was 102.00p.
Going forward it looks like they are highly focussed on the north of Scotland. That together with renegotiated social housing contracts should put us in a better position for the future.

Downside is the current drop in sales - which I perceive is not just an SPR issue but seems to be UK wide.

From Halifax this a.m.
House price growth flat in June at 0.0% vs dip of -0.3% in May
• Average property price now £296,665 compared to £296,782 last month
• Annual rate of growth edges down to +2.5% from +2.6 in May
• First-time buyer numbers have returned to pre-stamp duty change levels
• Northern Ireland has by far the strongest annual price growth in the UK

Edit - forgot to add a nice reduction in debt!

"Significant debt reduction, strategically repositioned"

Today’s full year trading update confirms that Springfield will report PBT for FY25 in line with market expectations and that net bank debt will be significantly lower than previously forecast.

The highlight of the year was undoubtedly the significant and profitable land sale to Barratt Redrow, announced in February, which will eliminate net bank debt by FY27, whilst paving the way for a strategic refocusing on the North of Scotland.

In our view, Springfield is uniquely positioned to support the material increase in housing demand expected in this region over the medium term.

Valuation is undemanding at 0.7x Price/ Book (a meaningful discount to the peer group average of 0.9x). We reiterate our 150p Fair Value estimate.

You dont need avidence just a common sense approach. If a product is not shifting (which you can tell by SPR not shifting much stock) then what happens to the price. On an obverse side when the product is in demand price shoots up.
As an aside I see Innes trousered a nice bonus
Springfield Properties plc (AIM: SPR), aleading housebuilder in Scotland focused on delivering private and affordable housing, announces that, on 17 February 2025, certain employees, including Innes Smith, Chief Executive Officer, exercised options over a total of 138,693 ordinary shares of 0.125 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP"). Admission of the 138,693 new Ordinary Shares has been satisfied via the block listing for the Company's PSP.
Director Shareholding
Innes Smith exercised options over 85,585 Ordinary Shares and, on the same day, subsequently sold 85,585 Ordinary Shares at a price of 106.82 pence per Ordinary Share. Following these transactions, Mr Smith continues to have an interest in 996,374 Ordinary Shares1 in the Company, representing 0.8% of the enlarged issued share capital.

Niiiice - for Innes :-(

"Transformational land sale to eliminate debt" - new research report (freely available) here:

Springfield has announced interim results, which are in line with expectations.

The more significant news is a profitable land sale, with the Group selling 2,480 plots to Barratt Redrow for £64.2m. This triggers a material upgrade to revenue and profit expectations in the current year and will eliminate net debt in FY27, as proceeds are received in four instalments.

The land sale will complete by 31 May 2025, with the cash consideration of £64.2m being paid in four tranches over the next four years, with approximately 50% being received in the current financial year.

Springfield will retain a large landbank with 9 years’ visibility at current build rates, with a more focused strategy to capitalise, in particular, on the significant opportunity in the North of Scotland. We believe the deal makes excellent strategic sense, whilst proving the value of the Groups’ substantial land holdings.

Whilst excellent progress has been made on cash generation in recent periods, we believe that the Group’s relatively high debt level has been a factor in the Group’s persistent valuation discount (currently c.15% discount to peers on P/Book basis). Today’s deal should remove any concerns on that front and validate Springfield’s net asset value.

We increase our Fair Value estimate to 150p per share (from 140p), conservatively based on 1x P/Book (FY25E).

Abitta love on the boards...makes for a change.

I hope you have a good year too CJohn.

You sounded abit like Victor Meldrew earlier.....

"I dooo nottt believeeeeee it!......someone on the boards without posting percentage probabilities!"

"I dooooo notttt believe ittt.......a short term trader in SPR with no mention of value!".

Traders are all different. It is hard to assign probabilities. This sort of chart is difficult to call right too. These can easily make another leg lower and SPR is illiquid so the book can change quite rapidly on low volume.

I think anyone would just wind people up if they sat there picking numbers and percentages. Prices are difficult to predict and this market is tough. Almost only playing for these sorts of bounces, because the confidence and participation just isn't there. It is also very easy to look very stupid on the boards, especially if being more specific with numbers.

In a tough market like this, it is hard to find the trades. When the market gets easier....three years of bad flows...when does it change? But when it changes...hope? And things just go up and up and it is one way, then you'll have the participation and everyone will be bouncing and posting.

Furthermore, I don't know enough about companies to be more specific, because I trade almost any company. I know bits about alot, but there are too many companies and me little head will roll off trying to absorb more information. I'm more about order book movements really.

Alot of trading is on instinct too. Stick a stop loss and exit for a small loss if it doesn't work or exit if it goes stale. Love those small losses and let the winners run. That is how I trade, but each to their own.

But I had stuck this on the watchlist because I thought that plunge was overdone to the downside. Sometimes the price move down can be pricing in a bad trading update. The update was in line so it looked like it could bounce over £1 and sit back in that range between £1 and £1.10.

The market did come in and gobble up the shares from sellers in size at mainly around 89p-90p. Since then it has been nigh on impossible to buy in any size at all price points from 91p (in penny increments) to the current 96p (the price has moved as I have been typing) on the offer. I'm trading a crazy loopy share like VCP and watching others so this is abit slow - have to watch them close. They can gap 5-10% in no time.

Small buys have moved the price here and alot have been negotiated because the online quotes have been closed so trades like Tuesday with the 5k trade at 95p and then someone paid through the offer of 95p to buy at 95.9p - okay that would have been online. Sometimes that is accepted with paying through the offer.

Overall though, identified it, noted the mopping up in the market and then bought (in at just over 91p) with the post here.

Could I sit here and say it was a 75% chance of a bounce over £1?

No. There are too many factors in play.

Did I think there was a reasonable possibility that it could bounce to allow a profitable trade?

Yes

But if it didn't work, I just exit and move on.

But this is just a short term insight. You seemed quite particular on having more detail so here is some detail.

I'm distracted with other things, so this might not be entirely coherent, but an order book update right now:

Price is 93p-97p and it looks like it will go to at least 94p-97. The offer at 97p is once more (as per previous price moves) closed off to buying in size. Cannot even get a quote for market size of just 3k.

So this suggests a strong possibility that the price will continue higher and could trend over £1. Now I don't know the exact price movements. Everything is fluid, shares move differently, but this looks like it could eventually sit over £1.

But this is just one share and abit of the thought process. I just want to trade really. I don't want to sit here and hammer out whopping big posts on every trade.

I bought here, I sold here...I bought here...this percentage...that percentage...50000 posts a year...put you off being an advfn member ha

But there we go, I only post now and again.

And they won't be complete.

Hope this helps

Let's see if it can keep moving higher.

All imo

You need to put a probability on any claim such as, the share price "could break higher". Do you mean a 2% probability? A 20% probability? Or a 75% probability? Otherwise the claim is vacuous.

And in what time frame do you think this will happen. Do you mean today, in the next week, the next three months?

Then you are actually saying something concrete.

On the other hand, well done on spotting the share price is going up.
