Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw your attention to the going concern accounting policy in note 1 5 of these financial statements, which indicates that the group may be adversely affected by the uncertainty surrounding enacted changes to legislation and potential future changes to legislation as a result of the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022, the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 and The Building Safety Act 2022 and the potential impact on the group and its future cashflows As stated in the going concern accounting policy, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in the going concern accounting policy, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's and company's ability to continue as a going concern Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter

Significant events
- “The group's loss for the year amounted to £107,163,381 (2023 restated £89,600,139). The loss for the year is primarily caused by the decrease in fair value of the group's investment properties”
- “a prior period adjustment has been recognised to reflect the recognition of provisions for building safety remediation costs”
- “On 4 August 2022 the group agreed undertakings with the CMA that ended the CMA's investigation into the wider group. These undertakings restrict certain group companies' ability to charge uplift rents on certain leases and create obligations to refund certain rents and fund certain costs for the variation of leases”
- “A dispute has arisen in relation to roof repairs caused by water ingress and maintenance work required to investment properties under ownership. Reasonably estimated costs, which may be recoverable under the affected leases, have been estimated in excess of £661k.”

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
