Trading Statement

Medsea Estates Group PLC 21 April 2005 For immediate release 21 April 2005 Medsea Estates Group PLC Trading Update In the Company's preliminary announcement of results for the year ended 31 December 2004, the Company reported that there had been a reduction in the number of units sold compared to initial expectations and that this pattern was expected to continue into the current year. Following a review of the first quarter results for 2005, the Company has experienced a further reduction in the number of units sold compared to expectations, totalling some 184 units sold compared to 333 in the same period on the previous year. This reduction is due both to the reduction in clients and the reduction in closing ratios. The Company believes that this downturn in sales is being experienced by other companies within its sector and that the main external reasons are the drop in confidence due to the static UK housing market, particularly in the South of England from where the majority of buyers are generated and the competition from other emerging countries. The Company will continue its emphasis on maintaining or improving margins, improving the closing ratio, enlarging the agency base and the client through-put generated therefrom and focussing on marketing and advertising. 21 April 2005 For further information please contact : Medsea Estates Group PLC Tony Gatehouse, Chairman Juan Carlos Rodriguez Martinez, Chief Executive 0034 96 570 4002 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
