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
“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 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
- “The company's turnover increased during the year from £2.31m to £2.86m as a result of Host winning new operational management contracts and expanding its portfolio of managed PBSA properties across the UK and Ireland.”
- “The overall net loss for the year was £0.35m (2023: loss of £0.64m) which was an improved position and includes costs of restructuring and investment in its new state of the art Property Management System (PMS).”
- “The PMS has now been successfully deployed which enables seamless transition and onward view towards future products in both accounting and asset management/investor reporting.”
- “In August 2025, Host onboarded 6 new assets - an immediate reflection of the key hires made and fast changing reputation within the industry.”
- “In 2025, the Group will make its first entry into the co-living sector through the launch of an award-winning asset in Guildford, delivered by the Bowmore Partnership, in which Host is a minority investor.”
- “The Company also achieved a total profit for the year as a result of restructuring its operational platform and securing new management contracts.”
- “The Group continues to pursue growth opportunities through additional management mandates and is progressing the development of its Bristol schemes, scheduled for completion in 2026 and 2027 respectively.”
