UC Berkeley Group reports £254M pretax profit despite sales dip in H1 2025
The UC Berkeley Group Holdings plc presented its interim results for the six months ending October 31, 2025, during an earnings call on December 9. The company reported a pretax profit of £254 million and a net cash position of £342 million, despite a slight dip in sales compared to the previous year. Executives also outlined ambitious plans to boost housing starts and maintain strong shareholder returns in the coming years.
UC Berkeley delivered a resilient performance in the first half of the financial year. Pretax profit reached £254 million, while net asset value per share rose by 5% to £37.63. Sales were around 4% lower than the same period last year, though customer interest remained steady. The company expects affordability to improve as interest rates continue to fall.
UC Berkeley’s interim results highlight steady financial performance and strategic progress in planning and affordability initiatives. With pretax profit guidance maintained and a clear focus on expanding housing supply, the company is positioning itself for sustained growth. The long-term outlook for London’s property market remains positive, supported by government policies and ongoing demand.
