Material uncertainty over going concern
Material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's and company's ability to continue as a going concern due to the potential adverse impact of enacted and future legislative changes (Leasehold Reform, Building Safety Act 2022) on cashflows. The auditor's opinion is not modified.

Significant events
- “No adjustments have been made to the financial statements to reflect the general uncertainty surrounding leasehold reform and its effect on leaseholder behaviour referred to in note 16. Regarding building safety legislation, please refer to the Provisions and Building Safety Act obligations section within note 1.14 and note 19 where a prior period adjustment has been recognised to reflect the recognition of provisions for building safety remediation costs.”
- “The Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022 was enacted during 2022 and prohibits the inclusion of a ground rent exceeding a peppercorn on new long residential leases. The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 received Royal Assent on 24 May 2024, reducing the premium payable to freeholders when leaseholders exercise statutory rights. The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced responsibility on freeholders to fund remediation of life-critical fire-safety defects.”
- “In October 2025, the High Court issued its judgment dismissing the judicial review brought by industry participants challenging aspects of the Government's leasehold reform measures contained in the 2024 Act. The Government has indicated its intention to publish a draft bill to regulate ground rent on existing leases.”
- “During the year, a review of the fair value movement calculations for investments in subsidiaries identified errors in the prior year financial statements. These arose due to fair value movements being on an aggregate basis rather than at an individual subsidiary level. This led to misstatements in the reported carrying value of investments, associated deferred tax provisions, and the revaluation reserve. As a result, the prior year comparatives have been restated to correct these issues.”

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
