1. LHX update

The property team sold 17 residential units in Q1 2026, amounting to £2.7m in property value. As a consequence £750,000 of mortgage finance was repaid across our portfolio during the last quarter, reducing interest costs across the portfolio, with the total portfolio mortgage loan-to-value (LTV) currently at 32%. Moreover, there are a further 39 residential units currently under offer.

We completed 8 members’ voluntary liquidations in Q1, with a further 3 completed in April and a number of other properties are currently going through the voluntary liquidation process with a number of distributions scheduled in the coming weeks. 

We repaid a further LHX Mortgage Bond and another Bridging Finance Investment Offering (St Pauls Road, Bradford) in March, with investors achieving 9.50% returns over the 12 month term and successfully completed the fundraises of a further four Bridging investments.

We have further offerings launching in the coming weeks and months – all eligible investors will be notified of the scheduled launch time and date via email. 

As ever we value your feedback, so please do not hesitate to get in touch with us via support@londonhouseexchange.com if you have any comments or questions. 

2. Portfolio performance 

Today (5 May 2026) we have published updated financial information for every property, including net income, mortgage details and the net cash position. You can find this information at the top of each property’s respective investment page, in the ‘Financials’ section. 

The ‘Unit Details’ section, a tab within the ‘Financials’ section on each property’s investment page that provides detailed information on a unit-by-unit basis, has been updated today to reflect the latest status of every unit and contracted rent for let units. This tab is updated monthly and allows you to track sales progress for all properties voted for sale as part of their 5-year anniversary sales process. 

All other information is updated to 31 March 2026.

Residential portfolio unit status

The table below gives a summary of unit status by category across the residential portfolio at 31 March 2026. The changes exhibited over time continue to highlight the focus on selling residential units, as we seek to repay mortgages and fulfil shareholder mandates to sell properties following their 5-year anniversary votes.

Residential Unit sales

There were 17 residential units sold in Q1 2026, amounting to £2.7m in property value. 

Clients can see the performance of agreed and completed sales in the Individual Unit Details of each property and on our Selling Record.

Mortgage debt

The average interest rate across our mortgaged portfolio stands at 6.7%, which remains unaffordable for the majority of residential properties. The cost of servicing mortgage debt erodes rental income and is the primary reason for dividend suspension across the portfolio. 

We are continuing to pay down mortgage debt wherever possible, predominantly through unit sales, and £0.75 million of mortgage finance was repaid across our portfolio during the last quarter. The total portfolio mortgage loan-to-value (LTV) is currently 32%.

3. Dividend distributions

Information on dividends for all properties can be found on each of the property’s investment pages on the website. 

4. Bridging Finance Investments 

This quarter we successfully completed the fundraise of another four Bridging Investments, with over £1m of bridging investments now active and we completed another repayment. 

The St Pauls Road, Bradford Bridging Investment’s 12 month term completed in March with investors achieving a total return of 9.50% on the amount repaid, equivalent to the interest rate of 9.50% p.a. over the 365 day term.

Proseed is providing updates on an ad hoc basis once information is provided to them. You can find the information on the outstanding loans on their respective investment pages here.

9. Properties with fire safety issues 

We are working to help resolve outstanding fire safety issues where possible and the government is continuing to address the issues across the UK. Our power to progress the situation is limited in our capacity as a leasehold owner of a small number of flats within a larger block. However, where fire-safety issues have previously emerged and we are the freeholder we have been able to proceed to undertake the necessary works and resolve the issues. 

The following properties have had their fire safety issue(s) recently resolved, valuations are being undertaken and 5-year anniversary votes have either recently been undertaken or are scheduled to occur post receiving the new valuation:

We have three properties that remain impacted, with remedial works in various stages of completion – please read the latest update on each affected property’s Latest Update section:
