An announcement from Home REIT PLC ( (GB:HOME) ) is now available.

Home REIT reported an interim loss before tax of £18.0 million for the six months to 28 February 2026, driven by a £14.6 million fall in investment property values, significant property operating and legal costs, and additional bad debt provisions. Net asset value fell to £143.1 million, with NAV per share dropping 11.2% to 18.10p, or an adjusted 17.61p when accounting for estimated disposal costs, as the company progresses asset sales in its managed wind-down.

By period end, 775 of 850 properties had exchanged for sale, representing 94.5% of portfolio value, with 735 completed, giving directors strong evidence of market pricing as they sell down assets. The board has completed the sale of 706 properties for £123.0 million post period end, is auctioning remaining assets, and is preparing for a solvent members’ voluntary liquidation and eventual delisting, though potential shareholder litigation, an ongoing FCA investigation and associated defence costs are delaying the timing and quantum of capital returns to investors.
