Vistry Group cuts operations and targets amid significant financial losses
What happened
Vistry Group announced plans to downsize its operations, reducing its number of operated regions from 25 to 12. This follows the company reporting a £661.3m pre-tax annual loss, a sharp contrast to a £40.9m profit recorded in the first half of 2025. The firm is exiting the South East of England market and has slashed its annual completions target to 12,000 homes.

Why it matters
The downsizing reflects a strategic overhaul aimed at focusing on higher-performing areas and achieving cost savings. The reported loss included a £475m goodwill impairment, which was attributed to significant discounting of open-market-sale homes.
