Foxtons anticipates material impact on its business from Covid-19

Foxtons Group expects an “inevitable material disruption” to its trading over the coming months due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, the London agency said it was still too early to tell what the impact from the virus might be.

The firm has drawn down its £5m revolving credit facility to bolster its available cash balance, which now stands at £21m.

Foxtons added that its board was also “evaluating a number of actions to preserve cash and will take all necessary steps to balance these measures with preserving the long-term capacity of the business”.

The agency also reported that performance in the first 11 weeks of its current financial year were in line with the board’s expectations.
