Sale of Land and Payment of Final Deferred Consideration

Proceeds used to make final deferred consideration payment for acquisition

Springfield Properties plc (AIM: SPR), a leading housebuilder in Scotland, is pleased to announce that it has sold land, equating to 170 plots, at one of its sites in Central Scotland for £12.0m. The Group received the full consideration for this profitable land sale in cash upon completion.  

The Group has used £6.5m of the proceeds to pay the final consideration for its acquisition of the Scottish housebuilding business of Mactaggart & Mickel Group as announced on 22 June 2022. As part of the acquisition, there was £30.8m of deferred consideration payable proportionally as homes were sold over five years. As at 31 May 2026, the outstanding deferred consideration was £20.7m, which has now been satisfied.

Innes Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Springfield Properties, said: "Two years ago, we set out a clear strategy to unlock value from our substantial land bank through a series of profitable land sales, and this transaction marks the successful completion of that programme. As recently announced, we reached a net bank cash position ahead of market expectations. Now, by applying proceeds from this land sale to settle the final Mactaggart & Mickel acquisition payment, we have also completed the deferred consideration significantly ahead of schedule. This milestone further strengthens our balance sheet and our position to capitalise on future growth opportunities."
