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.

Rental income from the core business continued to perform strongly, however maintenance costs are GBP1.5m higher than in 2020. This is due to clearing a backlog of repairs jobs and preparing for the re-procurement of the major repairs contract. There is also additional expenditure on fire safety remedial works.

Shared ownership 1(st) tranche sales and private sales generated a surplus of GBP2.6m which was GBP2.2m ahead of 2020. This is due to an enlarged programme and a carry-over of sales from 2020.

At 30 September 2021 TCH had 70 properties for sale. 48 properties were reserved. Of the remaining 22 available properties, 3 have been void for greater than 6 months (2 are show homes).

Disposal of assets provided a further GBP1.7m of surplus.

Net interest payable was in-line with 2020.

On August 20, 2021, S&P Global Ratings (S&P) lowered its long-term issuer credit rating on Peabody Group from 'A' to 'A-' with a stable outlook. At the same time the credit rating on Town & Country Housing (TCH) was similarly lowered. This was because S&P considers TCH to be a core subsidiary of Peabody.
