The IPD Monthly index has continued to fall over the first two months 2008 however, at a much slower rate than in Q4 2007. Forecasts for the fall in capital values in the index are in the order of 4.0% to 5.0% with total returns somewhere in the region of -3.5% for the quarter. For the Company there has been a small decline of -3.45% in its capital value over the course of the first quarter of 2008. The largest relative decline in the Company's portfolio in Q1 08 has been its industrial sector, which fell by slightly over 6.0%. Generally prime distribution shed yields have moved by approx 1.0% over the last 6 months and this has impacted the Company's industrial portfolio, which holds three assets in this sub-sector. On the positive side, the Company's West End stocks increased in value as result of further rental growth evidence coming through in the Soho office market. Over the course of the quarter, the Company re-geared the lease of its Hatfield distribution shed. The lease expiry date is now 2032. The Company also sold the last of its small shop units in High St, Uxbridge for £3.55m.
