Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors acknowledge that legislative changes concerning leasehold reform and building safety create material uncertainty over future cash flows and the Group's long-term ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this, the directors believe the Group and Company will continue to meet their liabilities for at least twelve months from the date of financial statement approval, and thus the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.

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
