Going concern

Affirmed

“At 30 September 2024, the Company is in a net liability position as a result of an intragroup loan due to Ground Rents Income Fund plc (the 'Parent Company' and 'ultimate controlling party') and therefore relies on its financial support. The Parent Company's financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024 issued on 14 January 2025 included a material uncertainty in relation to going concern driven by wider risks faced by the Group. This in turn leads to a material uncertainty regarding its support of the Company, which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “In November 2023, the Government published a consultation paper proposing a number of options to impose a cap (including peppercorn ground rents) retrospectively on residential ground rents and stating that "regardless of the option taken forward, we would not expect to compensate freeholders for lost revenue" and that their plan will be to "override lease terms through primary legislation".”
• “The new Act did not cap ground rents. However, there remain material uncertainties as to the application of the new Act and the extent of further legislation that has been proposed by the new Government to deal with issues outstanding from the new Act. The King's Speech in July 2024 included a commitment to publish a new bill, the Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill, which would regulate ground rents for existing leaseholders and remove the threat of forfeiture as a means of ensuring compliance with a lease agreement.”
• “Leasehold reform uncertainty has negatively affected market sentiment generally. This is reflected in the benchmark multipliers and then further adjustments are made to reflect the ground rents that exceed 0.1% of capital value.”
• “On 31 March 2025, the Company's portfolio was independently valued at £9,056,455 by the valuer, showing a like-for-like reduction of £375,065 or -4% compared with the independent valuation as at 30 September 2024.”
• “In April 2025, the United States of America initiated sweeping tariff arrangements against their global trading partners. This has heightened macro-economic uncertainty, with potential for escalating trade policy responses from their trade counterpart countries, and significant impact to global trade.”

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
