British Land Company PLC (the company) announced revised data for the year ending March 31, 2020, but that did not seem to drag the FTSE 100 index down for at least the first part of the day. British Land’s annual general meeting is due to take place on October 9 and the company has announced a revised date for its annual dividend payment. In the mid-1990s, it decided to rebalance its portfolio as the UK emerged from recession and showed signs of a new housing boom, particularly in London’s status as the world’s financial capital. But as the rest of the property market collapsed, it fell into a protracted recession that would be seen as confirmation of Britain’s position as the global leader in the property market.
