- Affirmed
“The directors remain confident in the Group's ability to continue to deliver stable performance and long-term value. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In November 2025, the Group acquired a vacant former car dealership site in Hyde, representing a key addition to the development pipeline.”
- “The site is to be redeveloped into a modern mixed-use scheme comprising a food store/supermarket and a gym operator. The scheme is expected to deliver strong, sustainable income and aligns with the Group's strategy of focusing on needs-based retail and leisure assets.”
- “The directors are mindful of increasing geopolitical uncertainty, particularly in relation to the ongoing conflict involving Israel, the United States and Iran. This has led to volatility in global energy markets, with rising oil and commodity prices contributing to inflationary pressure and uncertainty over the future direction of interest rates.”
- “Since the year end, the Group has: Acquired and completed development site in Hyde; Commenced development of a Marks and Spencer food store at Fox Valley; Completed all development works at Five Valleys, Stroud”
