• Large investment pipeline and completed CapEx cycle — over £300m recent multi-year program finished and secured London projects (Park Royal 616 units, Westminster Bridge Road, Leman Street, Victoria Park basement) expected to drive future earnings as they stabilize.
• Cost pressures and valuation headwinds — government-driven wage and social charge inflation plus one-off central costs compressed margins, and EPRA NRV per share dipped to £27.40 mainly due to weaker UK property valuations after higher business rates.
