Why invest with us?
Peabody's latest financial results demonstrate a resilient performance in an operating environment which remains challenging. We have continued to invest significantly in our new home development programme.
Highlights
- Peabody generated an overall surplus of £47m for the year ended 31 March 2025.
- Our turnover has increased to £1.03bn with an operating surplus of £220m.
- During the year, we invested £431m in maintaining and improving existing residents’ homes and £336m in building new homes.
- Our development pipeline is £1bn (2024:£1bn).
Investing in new build homes
We build great homes in places where people want to live. Our homes are built to last, display innovative interior designs and are an attractive option for many property investors.
With sustainability being an increasing priority, our new build homes have a distinct advantage over older properties as they are more energy efficient. Newly built homes benefit from lower maintenance costs, the latest fire-resistant materials, modern furnishings and finishes.
Many of our developments are part of larger regeneration projects which seek to revitalise neighbourhoods and communities for the future. Investors can also buy off-plan in these developing areas of the city where they can benefit from expected price growth and a good rental yield.
