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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have determined that preparing that financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to the continued financial support of the ultimate parent company, Land Securities Group PLC (together with its subsidiaries referred to as the 'Group'). The directors' going concern assessment covers the period to 31 July 2026 and corfirmation has been received that Land Securities PLC will support the Company until this date, so long as the Company remains a subsidiary of Land Securities PLC. If the company was sold within the period to 31 July 2026, confirmation has been received that Land Securities Group PLC would ensure the Company remains in a position to continue as a going concern at the point of sale.”
Group structure
- LAND SECURITIES PROPERTIES LIMITED · parent

- Land Securities Pensions Trustee Limited 100%
Significant events
- “The principal risk facing the Company is that poor performance of the Land Securities PLC investment properties might have a material impact on the management service income in the financial statements. The Company's performance during the year indicates a satisfactory performance of the investment properties held, considering the impact of the wider macro-economic environment.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
