Significant events
- “Following the acquisition of Anthem Management Holdings Limited... the Group undertook a consolidation of its operational and legal structure to simplify the group and improve operational efficiencies and reduce administrative costs. This restructuring was completed in 2024, resulting in all block business within the Group being transferred and managed by Anthem Management Limited.”
- “In 2025, the Group fully repaid its £11,000,000 loan with Apera, funded by an advance from its investor, Cortland Holdings UK Limited. The Group's shareholders made a strategic decision to explore the sale of its operations relating to residential property management and other property-related professional services. The sale process is well underway and is expected to conclude in the first half of 2026.”
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, the outstanding balance of the loan was fully repaid as of September 2025. The repayment was funded by an advance from its investor Cortland Holdings UK Limited and was paid in two instalments.”
- “There was breach of loan covenants at the year-end date 31 December 2023, however, it was mutually agreed to waive the breach of the covenants following the amended agreement on 20 February 2024.”

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
