                   GROSVENOR LAND HOLDINGS PLC ("GROSVENOR")





                        OFFER NOW MANDATORY UNDER RULE 9





Terrace Hill refers to the announcement released on 14 January 2004 of a
recommended Cash Offer, with Share Alternative, by Terrace Hill to acquire the
entire issued and to be issued share capital of Grosvenor not already owned or
controlled by the Terrace Hill Concert Party.



At the date of its recommended Cash Offer the Terrace Hill Concert Party
comprised Terrace Hill, Hodgson & Faraday, Mr Douglas Blausten, Mr Simon
Blausten and Mr Stephen Massey.



On 14 January 2004, Terrace Hill acquired 8,375,000 Grosvenor Shares and on 15
January 2004 a further 350,000 Grosvenor Shares taking its current holding to
8,725,000 Grosvenor Shares or 25.25 per cent of the existing issued share
capital of Grosvenor.



Mr Stephen Massey currently holds 412,335 Grosvenor Shares representing 1.19 per
cent of the existing issued share capital of Grosvenor.



Following Hodgson & Faraday's announcement today that its offer for Oakburn has
become unconditional in all respects, Oakburn has now joined the Terrace Hill
Concert Party.  Oakburn currently holds 10,141,472 Grosvenor Shares representing
29.34 per cent of the existing issued share capital of Grosvenor.



Accordingly, the Terrace Hill Concert Party now holds 19,278,807 Grosvenor
Shares representing 55.78 per cent of the existing issued share capital of
Grosvenor, and as a result, Terrace Hill's recommended Cash Offer for Grosvenor
has become mandatory under Rule 9 of the City Code.



Grosvenor Shareholders should note that the only condition to the mandatory
recommended Cash Offer, being the acceptance condition, remains unchanged from
that contained in the Terrace Hill recommended Cash Offer announcement of 14
January 2004 and which complies with Rule 9.3 of the Code.



Precise dates and further details, including the terms and condition of the
mandatory recommended Cash Offer and Share Alternative, will be specified in the
Offer Document and which will be sent to Grosvenor Shareholders and, for
information purposes only, to Grosvenor Share Option Holders.



Terms defined in the recommended Cash Offer announcement of 14 January 2004 bear
the same meanings when used in this announcement.



The directors of Terrace Hill accept responsibility for the information
contained in this announcement.  To the best of the knowledge and belief of the
directors of Terrace Hill (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that
such is the case), the information contained in this announcement for which they
accept responsibility is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything
likely to affect the import of such information.
