Custodian Property Income REIT plc
(“Custodian Property Income REIT” or the “Company”)
Disposal of Properties at or above book value
Custodian Property Income REIT (LSE: CREI), which seeks to deliver a
strong income return by investing in a diversified portfolio of smaller
regional properties across the UK, is pleased to announce the disposal of
two office buildings in Cheadle for an aggregate £6.9m.
5500 Lakeside, which is 66% let, was sold for £4.0m in line with the 31
December 2024 valuation, while the disposal of Wienerberger House, which
is fully let, was achieved at a 10% premium to the valuation at the same
date. The assets had both been acquired as part of portfolio acquisitions
in November 2021 and May 2016, respectively.
Commenting on the disposals, Richard Shepherd-Cross, Managing Director of
Custodian Capital Limited, said: “Whilst we have received a healthy level
of income across both properties, due to market sentiment in the
out-of-town office sector, we believe that there is limited scope for
future rental growth and we felt that now is the right time to sell. The
transactions once again prove our ability to make sales at or above book
valuation and we expect to use the proceeds to repay variable rate debt,
aligning with our strategy of providing shareholders with strong income
returns.”
