15 November 2018

Lincolnshire Housing Partnership

Lincolnshire Housing Partnership (LHP) is today issuing the consolidated trading update for the 6 months ended 30 September 2018.

The merger of Boston Mayflower Ltd and Shoreline Housing Partnership Ltd was effective from 3rd April 2018, forming Lincolnshire Housing Partnership Ltd (LHP).

The financial performance has been measured against the first year of the 30 year Business Plan.

Unaudited Financial Performance

LHP has delivered a strong financial performance compared to Business Plan's expectation for the period. LHP is expecting to sustain this level of performance through to the end of the 2018/19 financial year.

Highlights:

   --     Turnover for the period was GBP27.2million 
   --     Operating surplus for the period ( before sale of assets) was GBP4.6 million 
   --     Net margin on all property sales was 37%. 

-- The losses (after demolition, swap cancellation and merger costs) of GBP2.5 million is GBP3.1million better than budget.

   --     Surpluses on continuing operations are better than budget by GBP1.7million. 
   --     GBP16 million improvement programme reaches milestone. 

The reduction in the bad debt provision and the below forecast demolition costs contributed to the reduced deficit in the six month period.
