AGM Trading Update

LSL Property Services 23 May 2007 For Immediate Release 23 May 2007 LSL Property Services plc AGM Trading Update Roger Matthews, Chairman of LSL Property Services plc, a leading provider of residential property services, incorporating estate agency brands Your Move and Reeds Rains and surveying brands e.surv and Chancellors Associates, will make the following statement on current trading at the company's Annual General Meeting to be held later today: 'We are pleased to report that, for the year to date, all our operating divisions are performing well and slightly ahead of management expectations. In the first four months ended 30 April 2007: * Group turnover is up 10%; * Estate agency and financial services turnover is up 8%; * Surveying turnover is up 14%. Turnover has benefited from a maiden contribution from Chancellors Associates. Our estate agency brands, Your Move and Reeds Rains, are both performing well in a slightly slower market compared to this time last year. In Your Move we have continued to make some progress in reducing our operating cost base. We have invested in additional financial services capacity, both in Reeds Rains and Linear, to deliver future growth. In summary, the Group has made a good start to this financial year. Looking ahead to the second half of this year, activity levels in the housing market are uncertain in light of the short-term upward momentum in interest rates and the potential introduction of Home Information Packs now delayed to 1 August. However, LSL's operating model demonstrates some resilience to the housing market cycle and we continue our stated strategy of pursuing selective acquisitions in both agency and surveying. The longer term macro-economic factors indicate a strong housing market, leaving the Group well positioned to deliver future growth.'
