LSL Property Services plc ("LSL" or "Group")

AGM Trading Update

LSL Property Services plc ("LSL"), the leading B2B platform for UK residential property services, issues the following update ahead of its Annual General Meeting, to be held at 3pm today at 42 New Broad Street, London, EC2M 1JD.

The Group has continued to deliver strong financial and operational performance, and we expect to deliver further profit growth in 2026, in line with market expectations.

We have made a positive start to the year, building on the momentum from 2025. Despite a backdrop of uncertainty in the financial markets, UK housing transactions continue to remain stable. The short-term pull-forward of refinancing activity, seen in March and April following product repricing, has now moderated.

LSL has continued to trade well, maintaining strong market positions across each of the core businesses with healthy pipelines. The London market, where LSL has limited exposure, has shown recent softness.

The regulatory environment continues to evolve in a way that plays to our strengths. Developments such as the Renters' Rights Act and the ongoing Home Buying and Selling Reform consultation influence our markets, driving higher standards and increasing focus on professionalism and transaction efficiency. With our scale and capabilities across the property and mortgage ecosystem, we are well positioned to support our partners and benefit from these changes.

Data and technology remain central to how we operate and compete. We continue to invest in our platforms and capabilities to enhance productivity and support growth. The roll-out of our broker operating platform is progressing to plan and will drive improved broker productivity and protection penetration. In Surveying, having signed our first AVM contract in Q4 last year, we are actively progressing further opportunities with partners.

We continue to add scale across the Group, with strong progress in our Estate Agency Franchising business. Year to date, we have supported the purchase of six lettings books and have opened fourteen new branches. In addition, we have made a strategic investment in a leading digital conveyancing business to strengthen our proposition to franchisees and support cross-sell opportunities across the Group.

Pivotal Growth continues to build momentum, completing further acquisitions and continues to scale profitably, demonstrating the value of our investment.

We are progressing the enlarged share buy-back programme which we launched in January.

We are focussed on using the Group's combined capabilities to drive growth and returns by working more closely across our businesses and we are increasingly operating as One LSL. We are actively progressing our plans to drive meaningful cost efficiency and productivity gains.

The Board thanks all colleagues for their continued efforts and support, and we look forward to providing a further update at our Interim Results in September.
