- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on of their assessment, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern assessment period being to the end of July 2027. Therefore, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Total income has increased in the year by £1,510 (2024: increase of £1,715k against the previous year). This reflects income from both late summer 2024 and early summer 2025 combined. In summer 2024 the business was expanded to include One Pool Street in the Olympic Park which offers good quality facilities in a new location, alongside catering and classroom facilities. In summer 2025 business processes were streamlined to improve the general occupancy rate and a new PMS system was successfully trialled to help with allocating rooms and reporting.”
- “Property operating expenditure has increased by £1,804k in the year (2024: increase of £2,185 against the previous year). The increase reflects high apportioned costs in reactive maintenance and security.”
- “Demand for UCL's accommodation remains strong in 2025/26 with positive indicators that year-on-year growth in lettings income will be achieved. An increase in enquiries and confirmed bookings have been received from internal UCL departments and the UCL Language Centre (CLIE) for the Summer 2026 season.”

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
