Description
Springfield Properties is Scotland’s only quoted housebuilder. It was admitted to AIM in October 2017. We estimate it will sell almost 1,000 homes in FY 2019E (YE May), all north of the border, with further growth in FY 2020E and beyond driven by underlying market strength, the Walker Group acquisition and overall strategy.

10Progressive Presents the management team of Springfield Properties, Scotland’s only quoted housebuilder
Springfield offers both private and affordable housing in Scotland. It is known for its distinctive village communities, set in a rural context but close to fast growing cities.
Presenters:
Innes Smith, CEO
Michelle Motion, CFO
Our view
Springfield is targeting more rapid volume growth than a number of the UK-wide volume housebuilders, helped by the relative strength of the Scottish market and its distinctive model for delivering private and affordable housing. We additionally note that there may be further upside to our estimates of profitability if house price growth exceeds what we believe are conservative expectations.
