Significant events

- “On 2 December 2025, the Group announced the refinancing of its existing £19.5 million loan facility with Santander, which was due to expire in July 2026. The new facility is for £8.2 million and extends the loan term from July 2026 to January 2028.”
- “On 3 December 2025, the Group sold its freehold ground rent interest at a property in Bristol for £0.4 million.”
- “Judicial Review of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 dismissed by the High Court; the Company and its peers have lodged a formal application seeking permission to appeal, with a decision on the application expected in early 2026.”
- “£10.0 million asset sales completed within the Year and post year-end, marginally above the valuation at the start of the year (30 September 2024). These disposals and a decision to hold less cash, have enabled a reduction of the outstanding bank loan from £19.5 million to £8.2 million.”

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
