Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Directors have determined that the Company has sufficient resources and liquidity facilities to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”
Significant events
- “The decrease in profit is predominantly driven by a reduction in rental income in the current year alongside an impairment reversal in the prior year. The reduction in rental income was a result of the Company entering into a number of transactions as part of enabling the Group to enter into a wider commercial ground rent transaction in the prior year. This led to the Company transferring property assets at net book value to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent in the prior year and as such, rental income has decreased compared to the prior year.”
- “The increase in current amounts due from fellow wholly-owned subsidiaries of the ultimate parent is predominantly due to the Company lending cash received from ASDA Stores Limited in relation to quarterly rental income to McLagan Investments Limited.”
- “On 1 July 2025, The Burwood House Group Limited, entered into, amongst others, a supplemental security agreement to a security agreement originally dated 12 February 2021 as amended, supplemented from time to time and to the relevant material real property charge as amended and/or supplemented from time to time (the "Existing Security Agreement") as part of the issuance of the €700m 8.0% Senior Secured Notes due July 2031 and which were issued by an intermediate parent company (Bellis Acquisition Company PLC).”
- “During the prior year, the Company entered into disposals of a number of properties to enable the wider Group to enter into a Commercial Ground Rent transaction and a sale-and-leaseback transaction.”

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
