Chair's Statement

 

As this year we celebrate 190 years of Winkworth, I am very grateful for the
heritage of which I have been the steward for over half a century. With this
milestone in mind, I hope shareholders will appreciate a slightly different
Chair's report from normal as I reflect on what makes your Company successful,
and how the future bodes for us.

 

Apart from this long history, many franchisee family successes and histories
have been entwined with the Winkworth growth story, and it is so pleasing to
see these families grow with the Winkworth franchise and even in our
franchisor office. We are fortunate to have many longstanding members of the
Company.

 

Historically, Winkworth has always balanced instructions with buyers. We aim
not to take on more properties than we believe we can service and, to a
certain extent, that has meant that every time an office reached its
natural optimum turnover, the franchisee has been encouraged to open a new
office to service an adjacent popular area.

 

Winkworth has, therefore, almost always expanded organically, driven by market
share and product. The classic example of this is our St. John's Wood's
franchisee expanding into Maida Vale and West Hampstead, and now with plans to
launch into two neighbouring territories.  The same has happened in Exeter,
expanding from there to Crediton and Tiverton, and now separating the central
office into St. Leonards and St. Thomas's in order to service these markets
better. Similarly our Putney franchisee, one of our longest-standing, has
added West Putney to the Southfields and main Putney offices, helping the team
to expand.  Winkworth's growth is through people and market share.

 

We need products to service our buyers and franchisees tend to expand within
their local areas to gain products to sell, and we help that expansion.  We
plan to keep a balance between not going after every single instruction in
each area with offering the best selection. This benefits vendors and also
attracts the most buyers.

 

These principles are evident in our achievements: £3.4 billion worth of
property sold last year; 175,000 registered applicants, a database of over
four million contacts; and more than four million visits to our website. Our
100 offices meet these varying needs with Central London having fewer
instructions per office than outer London or the country, and some areas in
the UK have a low turnover as residents in those areas tend to stay for
life.

 

I have always observed that estate agency is a business of scale. It is not
about having five properties to sell and 20 buyers, it is about having maybe
50 properties to sell that attract perhaps 500 buyers. The professionals
handling these properties have to work as teams and, to meet customers'
expectations, administrators are often as important as front-line
salespeople.  Winkworth likes to please its customers and build the very
long-term relationships that help its expansion. The franchise model of
long-term proprietors is a well-suited system to this goal. As one of
our new franchisees commented to me: "Not only have I got my personal
business, but I have got yours as well".

 

Having said that, we have well-developed plans to meet future market changes
and challenges.  We are spending substantial sums of money helping our
franchisees use a dashboard of tools that will be incredibly useful to the
high-volume offices without overwhelming the smaller ones.

 

Meanwhile rentals, when done well, need a special set of skills because if
that side of the business shrinks or becomes more difficult it can become
less profitable. It is, therefore, a case of growing efficiency and building
property legal skills to maintain profit levels.

 

A couple of years ago I was asked why we were not diving into the rental
market. My response was that while the lettings and management business will
always be important to Winkworth, rental portfolios remain fairly static and
do not rush to change. We would only look to buy in order to secure a growth
point into sales. In our opinion, sales agency has always offered greater
profitability and better reflects selling skills, and the public is attracted
to the best operators. Our rentals and management business has in the past
grown to up to 50% of Group turnover, but sales are now dominating and I am
sure that over the long-term there will be some shrinkage in rentals as the
trend of landlords exiting the business continues.

 

How would that affect Winkworth?  There may be some impact on our business,
but we would expect it to be compensated by increased sales and growth of
market share as some competitors may have focused too much on rentals and
diluted their sales teams. It will be interesting to see how this plays out,
but Winkworth has seen many changes before and I believe we can trust in our
own dynamism to keep our business ahead of the curve.

CEO's Statement

 

As buyers sensed an end to the interest rate tightening cycle and the cost of
mortgages fell, in 2024 we saw buyers (21% ahead of 2023) and sellers (20%
ahead of 2023) brush aside previous electoral concerns both in the UK and
internationally and expedite home moves that had been delayed by the cost of
living crisis. A lifting of these uncertainties, combined with further market
share gains, resulted in Winkworth's sales agreed increasing by 23% on 2023.

 

In the second half of 2024, activity remained resilient despite the impact of
the UK Government's autumn statement and the subsequent introduction of new
tax measures such as the increase in national insurance. As over time higher
rates of stamp duty and reduced mortgage interest rate relief have
discouraged buy to let and speculative investors, the UK market has become
increasingly needs-based and more resilient to external uncertainty. Increased
costs of finance, high rental prices, changes to the taxation of pensions
and school fees, and the higher cost of living are all factors that add to
the motivation of both buyers and sellers to transact.

 

In 2024, our network sales revenue rose by 18% to £32.7m (2023: £27.6m).
London led the way with sales income up by 22% across the city as a whole and,
within that, Central London sales revenue increasing by 26%. Backed by our
marketing campaigns and state-of-the-art operations, I am delighted that the
hard work and professionalism of our franchisees led to Winkworth's market
share of new listings growing the fastest of the top five agencies in London,
while our market share of sales agreed ("SSTC") grew by more than any of the
other top ten agents in London¹.

 

In the lettings and management business, increasing costs for landlords
continued to see them exiting the sector, leading to a reduction in supply of
properties to let. With rents at record levels, we have seen affordability
ceilings reached and increasing trends in room sharing, with young
professionals choosing cheaper areas to rent or staying at home longer, and
the bank of mum and dad lending to make buying affordable. These developments
have led to a reduction in tenant demand, and in 2024 we saw a 5% decline in
tenants registered compared to 2023.

 

Despite this reduction in registrations and a flattening of rental prices, we
achieved lettings and management network revenue growth of 6% in 2024 to
£32.0m (2023: £30.2m). This was led by the country markets where we saw an
increase in revenues of 10%, driven by newer Winkworth businesses growing
rapidly and supported acquisitions bolstering
existing franchisee portfolios. The stickier property management revenue
grew by 10% year-on-year compared to overall letting revenue
excluding property management income which grew by 3% in 2024 to £16.4m
(2023: £15.9m).

 

In 2024, gross revenues of the franchised network of £64.7m were 12% higher
year-on-year (2023: £57.8m), with an almost equal split in income between
Sales and Letting and Management compared to a 48:52 revenue split in 2023.

 

Winkworth's revenues of £10.79m were 17% higher (2023: £9.27m) and profit
before taxation rose by 10% to £2.36m (2023: £2.15m). The Group's cash
position at year end stood at £4.09m (2023: £4.55m) with no debt. Dividends
of 12.3p per ordinary share were declared for the full year (2023: 11.7p per
share).

 

During the course of 2024, we opened three new offices and resold five
franchises to new operators. At the end of the period under review the Group
consisted of 100 offices. We ended the year with a strong pipeline of nine
potential resales and six new openings. In 2025, we have already opened two
new offices.

 

We are forging ahead with our plan to invest in our platform and bring on new
talent to position us as a top three agency in each local area we operate in
within London. We believe that this focus will ensure our franchisees are
profitable through the various cycles of the property market and well
positioned to continue to invest in their businesses. To this end, we
replaced our previously closed Clapham office with a new operator in 2024 and
resold our flagship Knightsbridge office. We are accelerating our onboarding
of talent and I believe that a new generation of operators will secure the
health of the network and its organic growth going forward. We will continue
to offer new options for good people to join Winkworth.

 

In 2024, our own-equity offices made significant progress, with revenue
increasing by 27%. With our help, the manager in Tooting moved to acquire
neighbouring franchises for his own account and our Tooting office was
temporarily impacted by the transition to a new team, affecting its
profitability. This new team is now fully integrated and, with stable
management across the own-equity offices, we expect to see strength in 2025 as
Tooting returns to form and the newer offices mature into profitability.

 

After intensive repositioning we would expect to see most of our own-equity
offices ranking as top three operators in 2025. Where we can find star
quality, we will continue to review new opportunities for this
initiative and, as offices hit maturity, consider reducing our equity
position to enable management to increase their own stakes or acquire the
business. This will enable us to recycle capital into new opportunities where
we can boost our franchise fee return and generate additional profits.

 

Elsewhere, our Development and Commercial Investments business broke even
last year but continues to face uncertain market conditions. Promising signs
are coming from our recently launched new homes business.

 

OUTLOOK

 

We see the rejuvenated sales market remaining firm in 2025 and into 2026, with
a needs-driven property market leading to greater activity and more properties
becoming available as households re-align their sights and adjust to higher
taxation and inflationary costs. We see a broadly balanced picture between
buyers and sellers in 2025 and so anticipate that price increases of around 3%
will be in line with the general rate of inflation. We expect activity to be
heightened in London as a return to the office motivates buyers to seek
properties there.

 

With the renters' rights bill coming into statute we envisage that some
landlords, already burdened with losing part of the mortgage interest tax
relief and higher costs of finance, will not wish to continue to hold their
investments. However, with affordability ceilings having in many cases been
reached, we do not expect further rapid rises in rents but rather a reversion
to these tracking wage inflation, as prospective tenants avoid entering the
market or change location to reduce their costs.

With these changes we see an opportunity to continue to grow our lettings
portfolios as landlords look for greater guidance in the face of tighter
regulation. With weaker repossession rights, the need for higher quality
tenants will mean that more private landlords will look to use agents.
Additionally, increased regulation will push more independent
letting agencies to exit the business, generating opportunities for our
supported acquisition programme which provides funding to franchisees that
wish to acquire portfolios to bolster their business.

WINKWORTH PLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

 

1.    STATUTORY INFORMATION

 

M Winkworth Plc is a public company, registered in England and Wales and
quoted on AIM. The Company's registered number and registered office address
can be found on the Company Information page of the Annual Report.

 

2.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention, with the exception of financial instruments as set out below, and
in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards. The
financial statements are presented in pound sterling, which is also the
company's functional currency. The following principal accounting policies
have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered
material in relation to the financial statements.

 

Going concern

The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a
reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt
the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

 

Revenue

Revenue represents the value of commissions and subscriptions due to the Group
under franchise agreements, together with the value of fees earned by its
subsidiary lettings business. Revenue in respect of commissions due on house
sales is recognised at the point of the relevant property sale having been
completed by the franchisee. Revenue in respect of commissions due on
lettings, property management and administration services is recognised in the
period to which the services relate. The Group earns a straight 8% by value on
all sales and lettings income generated by the franchisees.

 

In Tooting Estates Limited, Crystal Palace Estates Limited and Lumley 1
Limited, revenue in respect of commissions due on house sales is recognised on
completion. Revenue in respect of commissions due on lettings and property
management is recognised over the life of the rental agreement.

 

 

3.    SEGMENTAL REPORTING

 

The board of directors, as the chief operating decision making body, review
financial information and make decisions about the Group's business and have
identified a single operating segment, that of estate agency and related
services and the franchising thereof.

 

The directors believe that there are two material revenue streams relevant to
estate agency franchising.
