Market - Higher interest rates are slowing capital growth in the UK property market, with secondary property yields the most affected. The divergence of returns between the sectors is becoming increasingly pronounced in IPD Monthly data for the three months to 30 June 2007, illustrated by the contrasting three month annualised total return of Standard Retail and Central London offices of 6% and 19.2% respectively. The differential is being driven by rental growth with rates becoming increasingly polarised.

Disposals During the period from March to June, the Company exchanged and has subsequently completed the disposal of a shop in Northampton for £2.54 million, reflecting a net initial yield of 4.5%. The shop was acquired in July 2004 for £1.54 million and the disposal followed the granting of a new 15 year lease to a good quality tenant at an increased rent. The Company has also sold a health and fitness unit in Sefton, acquired in March 2007 for £12.83 million, crystallising a £1.9 million profit over the gross purchase price of £10.9 million. Since the quarter end, the Company has completed the disposal of a small retail property in York for £1.94 million. The sale price was 2% ahead of the June 2007 valuation of £1.9 million and 28% ahead of the March 2007 valuation. More significant since the quarter end is completion of the sale of the Company's 19.73% stake in MidCity Place, London WC1. The property comprised a high quality office building in the Mid Town of London. The Company's stake was acquired in August 2005 for £9.8 million. A lease restructuring during 2006 repaid £8.2 million of the Company's original investment and a further receipt of £21.5 million on completion in August 2007 concludes a profitable deal, tripling the Company's initial investment over 24 months. Active Asset Management Having secured a retail warehouse planning consent at the Company's industrial site at Hinckley last quarter, another planning consent has been obtained for a major refurbishment and extension of the office in Uxbridge. The consent increases the potential floor area from 39,000 sq ft to 70,000 sq ft. The current leases at the property expire this September and a re-development is being considered. At Salisbury, a lease of the vacant unit was completed at a rental level some 20% ahead of the independent valuation assumption. The new lease increases the rent receivable by £300,000 to £820,000 per annum, which following forthcoming rent reviews, should result in a yield on gross purchase cost of approximately 6.0%. The valuation is £16.45 million at June 2007 compared with the purchase price in February of £15.02 million. The Company has now exchanged all the agreements required to commence the major refurbishment project at the retail investment at Victoria Plaza, Bolton. This will increase the current rent from £470,000 per annum to £720,000 per annum following capital expenditure of £1.8 million. Finance The Company raised a further £111 million of securitised debt, increasing total securitised borrowings to £263.5 million. This has been used to repay the previous more expensive debt with the surplus being used to fund ongoing asset management projects and selective acquisitions. This issue was well timed and is immediately accretive to returns.
