Roadside Real Estate (AIM:ROAD), the AIM-listed roadside property company, now expects to complete its acquisition of D. A. Roberts Fuels in the third quarter of 2026, pushing back a deal that was already disrupted by a death on the vendor's side.
The company had initially flagged a short delay on 28 May, when a family bereavement on the vendor's side prompted an accelerated probate process over the estate.
That process has taken longer than anticipated, with HMRC's own procedural timelines now the principal constraint on completion.
No revised financial terms or changes to the deal structure were disclosed alongside the update.
