Material uncertainty over going concern
At the balance sheet date the Company had net current liabilities of £7,349,511 (2024: £7,493,485). This is driven by the intercompany borrowings with the parent of £7,154,129 (2024: £7,154,129) and other creditor balances. The directors have received confirmation via a letter of support that Aviva Investors REALM Ground Rent Limited Partnership intends to support the Company to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due and Aviva Investors Ground Rent Holdco Limited will not seek repayment of part or all of the amount owed by this Company, where to do so would place this Company in an insolvent position. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared by Aviva Investors REALM Ground Rent Limited Partnership for the Group confirming the Group will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Significant events
- “Notable successes during 2025 included the removal of the two year ownership requirement for leaseholders seeking to extend a lease or acquire their freehold.”
- “In March 2025, amendments to the "Right to Manage" regime became effective, increasing the proportion of permitted non residential floor space in mixed-use buildings from 25% to 50% and removing the presumption that leaseholders are liable for a freeholder's legal costs in Right to Manage claims.”
- “The enactment of the LFRA also led to a Judicial Review challenge held in the High Court in July 2025, by six claimant groups, which focussed on three areas: the proposed 0.1% ground rent cap, the removal of marriage value and limits on cost recovery. In October 2025, the High Court dismissed all claims, concluding that the Act was proportionate and compatible with applicable human rights legislation.”
