GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The directors present their Strategic Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.

Business review
 
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group delivered a strong and resilient operational performance. Occupancy levels remained consistently high, with only minimal movement throughout the period, while rental income continued to grow, reflecting sustained occupier demand and the effectiveness of the Group’s proactive asset management strategy.

The fair value of the Group’s investment property increased from £331,425,000 to £350,000,000 as at 31 December 2025. This uplift was achieved against a backdrop of cautiously improving sentiment within the UK commercial property market, where recovery remains uneven and increasingly dependent on asset quality, supply constraints, and specialist positioning.

Within this context, the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour continues to demonstrate the characteristics of a prime, best-in-class asset. Its globally recognised concentration of luxury showrooms, leading design brands, and curated events underpins its position as a distinctive, experience-led destination. The asset benefits from strong occupier demand and limited direct competition, aligning with investor preference for high-quality, operationally vibrant environments. This positioning supports its long-term resilience and reinforces its status as a differentiated and defensible asset within an increasingly selective investment market.

Notwithstanding these positive fundamentals, the Board remains mindful of the potential for rapid changes in investor sentiment and consumer behaviour. The Group will therefore continue to monitor market conditions, valuation movements, and occupier trends closely to inform its ongoing strategic approach.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The Group is exposed to a range of principal risks that could affect its operational and financial performance. These include financing and liquidity risk, property valuation risk, tenant credit risk, occupancy risk, and third-party risk. Each of these is actively managed within the Group’s established risk management framework.

Financing and liquidity risk

The Company operates within a wider group structure that utilises external debt financing. The current loan facility matures in December 2026. To manage liquidity and refinancing risk, the Company prepares detailed long-term cash flow forecasts and financing projections, which are subject to regular review and updated for changes in market conditions. This approach supports ongoing financial resilience and alignment with the Company’s strategic objectives.With respect to the refinacing and as discussed in note 2.3 the directors directors have undertaken a comprehensive refinancing process and discussions with prospective lenders are well advanced. The directors have a high degree of confidence that replacement financing will be secured well in advance of the current facility's maturity.

Property valuation risk

The valuation of the Group’s investment property is inherently sensitive to market conditions, including changes in interest rates, macroeconomic factors, and investor sentiment. Movements in valuation may impact the Group’s balance sheet and, in certain scenarios, its financing arrangements or strategic plans. The Group mitigates this risk through regular independent valuations, active monitoring of market data, and ongoing engagement with lenders and other stakeholders.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Tenant credit risk

The Group’s income stream is dependent on the financial stability of its tenant base. A material tenant default could adversely affect rental income and cash flow. To mitigate this risk, the Group undertakes rigorous credit assessments at the point of lease inception and maintains ongoing monitoring of tenant performance. The diversity and quality of the tenant mix further support income resilience.

Occupancy risk

A decline in occupancy levels could negatively affect rental income and profitability. As at 31 December 2025, occupancy remained strong at 96% (2024: 99%), excluding landlord-occupied and development areas. The Group continues to prioritise active asset management, close tenant engagement, and targeted marketing initiatives to sustain high occupancy and tenant retention.

Third-party risk

The Group relies on third-party providers for key services, including property management, maintenance, and development. Underperformance or failure by these providers could disrupt operations or give rise to compliance risks. To mitigate this exposure, the Group engages experienced and reputable service providers and undertakes regular performance monitoring and review.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The directors consider occupancy to be a primary driver of financial performance and a key indicator of asset strength. The Group maintained an occupancy rate of 96% as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 99%), excluding landlord-occupied and development areas. This sustained level of occupancy reflects the continued attractiveness of the asset and the effectiveness of the Group’s leasing and asset management strategy.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHELSEA HARBOUR ESTATES LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Chelsea Harbour Estates Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


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 Group's or the parent 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.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud.

Based on our understanding of the Group and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to compliance with the Companies Act and tax law, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in the preparation of accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
 
inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted which exhibited certain characteristics which we considered to be possible indicators of fraud or irregularity; and
challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates, principally being the Group's investment property valuation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHELSEA HARBOUR ESTATES LIMITED (CONTINUED)



Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.


Use of our report
 

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1.


General information

Chelsea Harbour Estate Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated and registered in England and Wales. The Company's registered number is 03870584 and registered office address is 219 Harbour Yard, Chelsea Harbour, London, SW10 0XD.

The Company's principal activity is property investment and the provision of property management services.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).

The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

The Group is the parent of a property-owning group within the wider CHEL Shares LLP group. The group’s subsidiary, Chelsea Harbour Limited, owns the principal investment property and generates the majority of the Group's recurring rental income and underlying property value.

The property within Chelsea Harbour Limited is financed by the parent entity preparing this set of accounts which in turn borrows external debt. As the external debt is serviced primarily from the property company’s operating cash flows, the financial performance and cash generation of the property company are intrinsically linked to those of the wider Group. Accordingly, the directors have assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern by considering the financial position and prospects of the property company and other group entities as a whole.

In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the directors have reviewed detailed cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts incorporate assumptions regarding forecast rental income, operating expenditure, capital expenditure, financing costs and compliance with the Group's lending covenants. 

The Group's existing external borrowing facilities mature in December 2026. The directors have undertaken a comprehensive refinancing process and discussions with prospective lenders are well advanced. Based on the significant progress made to date, the level of lender engagement and the strength of the underlying property asset and operating performance, the directors have a high degree of confidence that replacement financing will be secured well in advance of the current facility's maturity.

Furthermore, as an additional contingency, the directors have held constructive discussions regarding the availability of a short-term extension to the existing facilities should this ever be required to facilitate an orderly completion of the refinancing process. Accordingly, the directors do not consider there to be a realistic risk that the Group would be unable to meet its obligations as they fall due.

Having considered the matters set out above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have therefore concluded that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis and that no material uncertainty exists in relation to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Revenue principally comprises income recognised by the Group in respect of rent charged and other ancillary services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Rent and ancillary services are recognised on an accruals basis over the term of the lease. Amounts invoiced in advance of a tenancy period are deferred accordingly and recognised as income in the period to which they relate. Equally, amounts invoiced after the commencement of a lease, are adjusted so the total receivable over the lease term is recognised on a straight-line basis.

Revenue in relation to marketing and advertising services is in respect of amounts received for marketing services as well as event sales. Revenue is recognised or appropriately deferred on performance of the service in the period relating to the service being provided.

As included within other operating Income; property management income and other fees receivable are recognised on an accruals basis over time as services are provided to customers in relation to the management of service charges and marketing. Amounts demanded prior to services being completed are deferred accordingly and recognised as income in the period to which they relate.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Amounts paid and payable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised as a reduction to income over the lease term on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern over which the lessor's benefit from the leased asset is diminished.

 
2.6

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.7

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 
2.9

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or capital appreciation. They are initially measured at cost including any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are held at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are included in profit or loss in the financial period in which they arise, including the tax effect. Fair values are determined on using a yield methodology. This uses market rental values capitalised at a market capitalisation rate but there is an inevitable degree of judgmental involved in that each property is unique and value can be only ultimately be reliably tested in the market itself.

Investment properties are not subject to depreciation.

 
2.10

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment and are eliminated in full on consolidation.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.11

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. 

 
2.12

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  
2.13

Financial instruments

The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.


3.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Statement of Financial Position date and the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Significant judgements:

The following are the significant judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Going concern

Significant judgement is required in the Group’s assessment of the going concern basis, and further information on this is included in note 2.3. These estimates include preparing cash-flow forecasts and revenue projections, assessing future loan covenant compliance and considering the future refinancing of the group in or before December 2026.

Critical accounting estimates:

Valuation of investment properties

As described in note 13 to the financial statements, investment properties are stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by an in-house qualified valuer with recent experience in the location and category of property valued. The valuer used observable market prices adjusted as necessary for any difference in the future, location or condition of the specific asset. The valuation has been prepared using an income capitalisation approach with a blended net initial yield of 4.53%. The valuation uses expected rental values of the company's properties net of estimated running costs, adjusted as necessary for any difference in the future, location or condition of the specific asset.

Should the NIY vary from the estimated figure used and should actual rental values achieved or running   costs incurred in future periods vary from those used in the valuation, the valuation of the properties would change.
