Oxfordshire 'Net‑Zero' Modular Homebuilder Enters Administration

Administrators will pursue rescue, sale or asset realisation after company accounts showed heavy short‑term liabilities and a reduced workforce.

Overview

  • Moorfields Advisory was appointed administrator for Agile Property and Homes in early July as the business entered formal administration.
  • Company accounts for the year to June 2025 filed at Companies House show net liabilities of about £1.8 million and creditors due within one year of roughly £1.86 million.
  • The business, founded in 2019 and based in Culham, built low‑carbon prefabricated homes using timber and straw with rapid on‑site erection times.
  • Directors and administrators reported the firm struggled with rising input costs, energy and labour price inflation that strained cash flow and led to a fall in average staff from 22 to 13.
  • Administrators say they will explore restructuring, a sale or asset realisation to maximise returns for creditors and the future of ongoing projects and staff remains unresolved.
