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

Home REIT has published its 2025 Annual Report, showing a sharply reduced portfolio value of £154.9 million after selling 522 properties for £97.0 million and recording a like-for-like valuation drop of £11.0 million on remaining assets. The company reported a £30.6 million loss before tax, a 16% fall in NAV per share to 20.38p, increased cash balances of £9.6 million, and full repayment of its £9.0 million borrowing from Scottish Widows.

The board said it remains committed to its managed wind-down, including exclusive talks with Patron Capital on a sale of around 700 assets and plans to auction the remaining £17.6 million of properties in the first half of 2026. However, potential group litigation, ongoing regulatory investigations including Serious Fraud Office and FCA scrutiny, and the need to retain funds for possible legal action mean returns of capital may be delayed and phased, even as the company prepares to seek restoration of its London listing once outstanding accounts are filed.
