- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors consider the Company to be a going concern with total rent roll and like-for-like occupancy increasing since March 2025, and are expected to continue to improve going forward. Workspace Group PLC provides support as the Parent Company and the majority of the current liabilities relate to intercompany balances where repayment will not be sought to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. Furthermore, there are sufficient overall net assets to help meet these liabilities and consequently, the assessment of the Company as a going concern is considered appropriate.”

Significant events
- “Proceedings for dissolution of McKay Securities Limited's subsidiary entity Baldwin House Limited commenced before the Balance Sheet date and the Company was confirmed as dissolved on 1 July 2025. One property exchanged post year end in September for a consideration of £14.3m.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
