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

Significant events
- “In April 2024, the Group capitalised on its strong performance against its bank covenants to negotiate a 0.35% reduction in the margin it pays on the majority of its bank debt, representing debt of £16.6 million at the reporting date. This will produce significant ongoing interest savings.”
- “In July 2024, the Group refinanced its facility with Santander on its Pitmedden ground rent portfolio, agreeing a new 3-year term on the same terms as the previous facility. The net facility is £1.7 million after the Group repaid Santander £0.6 million as part of the refinancing, in line with its policy to maintain a low gearing in the uncertain market and economy.”
- “In October 2024, the Group's commercial lending business was rebranded to Fast & Flexible International Lending.”
- “After the reporting date, in July 2025, the Group completed on the sale of its property in North Street, Glasgow for a consideration of £3.1 million. This delivered a profit on disposal of £0.3 million.”
