Chancellors Group Holdings has seen its profit before tax increase as the company benefited from a buoyant housing market.
The company, which operates a network of more than 50 offices in southern England and Wales, saw pre-tax profits of almost £2.5m in the year to 31 December 2020, up from £616,845 12 months earlier.
The Chancellors Group, which has a strong local presence in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Surrey, London, Herefordshire, Wiltshire and Mid Wales, reports that overall profit for the period was £2.1m compared to £501,442 in 2019.
The hike in profits for the group, which also comprises of the specialist mortgage and insurance advisers, Life Financial Services, comes despite a slight dip in revenues for 2020 to £24.2m from £25.5m a year earlier.
The group’s accounts made up to 31 December 2020 can be viewed here.
Blimey only £50k per office and only £12k per branch before. That really doesn’t bode well for the future. Seems like a remodelling and restructuring is going to be necessary before long.

50k per office after paying a manager is good. You must be in London to think that isnt.

I would be more interested in knowing why YOPA have decided to postpone the publication of their accounts by a further 3 months, we won’t get to see them until 31st December 2021.

Estate agent spin!
Should the headline be:- ESTATE AGENT SEES PROFIT INCREASE BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
More profit with less income; and not from higher margins, so how did they achieve it? Lets look at their accounts.
Turnover less admin expenses was minus £22,522, compared to the previous year’s plus £358,595. It would seem the main reason for the profit was down to “other operating income” of £2,403,737, compared to only £131,705 the previous year. I wonder where the “other operating income” came from ???????, I think we all know! And it looks like without that income, they would be delving into their reserves.
Still, they do seem prudent as shareholder funds are nice, now at £6.77m, an increase of £2.08m from previous year, so any Government support is well within their means to return.
Edit.. Just seen a note in the accounts that confirm Government grant of £2,254,098.
