Note: No assumption is made about any gain on revaluation of investment properties in either year, as revaluation is undertaken at year end.

TCH became part of Peabody Group on 9 May 2019 and will continue as an operating subsidiary.

The core rental business continued to perform strongly. The operating surplus before private sales and shared ownership 1(st) tranche sales was in-line with 2018 despite the final year of the 1% rent reduction.

Private sales and 1(st) tranche shared ownership sales generated a surplus of GBP1.6m, which was GBP1.2m ahead of 2018 due to the completion of the final phase of Lakewood in Tunbridge Wells.

At 30 September 2019 TCH had eleven properties for sale. Six properties were reserved, and one was sold pending legal completion. The remaining four available properties had all been actively marketed for less than three months.

Disposal of assets provided a further GBP1.3m of surplus.

Net interest payable was GBP0.7m higher than 2018 due to increased loan margins from loan modifications as part of the merger with Peabody Group.

Future Information Releases

The next financial reporting will be the statutory financial statements which we expect to release in late July / early August 2020.
