Inland ZDP Plc is a United Kingdom-based special purpose vehicle primarily engaged in issuing zero dividend preference (ZDP) shares to raise capital. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Beaconsfield, UK, the company lends the proceeds from these share issues to its associated property developer, Inland Homes PLC. Inland ZDP Plc’s core business involves acquiring residential and mixed-use sites, seeking planning consent, and facilitating development, with the ultimate purpose of selling these sites to housebuilders. The company’s activities focus on real estate development finance, supporting Inland Homes’ operations in residential and mixed-use property development across the London region and other parts of the UK. It acts as a financial conduit, raising funds through ZDP shares and channeling capital to Inland Homes for land acquisition and development projects.
Recent major changes include the suspension of trading in Inland ZDP Plc shares in October 2023 following the sale of assets by Inland Homes. The company has shifted its business model over recent years to emphasize asset management, partnering with investors through separately funded joint ventures to develop sites, and reducing borrowing requirements by selling owned sites and completed homes. This strategic shift supports lowering debt levels while enhancing development and construction activities either by selling completed properties or plots to build-to-rent operators and housing associations under construction contracts. Inland ZDP Plc remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Inland Homes PLC, maintaining its function in the group's capital structure while adapting to market and operational changes within the last two years. The company continues to focus on managing the final capital entitlement to ZDP shareholders through surplus cash and refinancing mechanisms.
