LondonMetric Property Plc ("LondonMetric") announces that it has exchanged on the sale of five assets for £42.8 million, reflecting a NIY of 4.5%. The combined sales are in line with the 31 March 2023 book value.
Three of the assets have been sold individually for £25.3 million in total, with a WAULT of 12 years:
· a 58,000 sq ft long income asset in Durham let to LIDL and The Range, sold for £14.1 million;
· a 28,000 sq ft urban warehouse in Croydon let to HTC, sold for £8.1 million; and
· a long income property located close to London Bridge, sold for £3.1 million.
The other two assets are urban warehousing estates that have been sold as a portfolio for £17.5 million with a WAULT of five years:
· 34,000 sq ft in Croydon across 17 units; and
· 18,000 sq ft in Oxford across eight units.
Total sales since 31 March 2023 amount to £64 million and are at a 1% premium to the 31 March book value.
Andrew Jones, Chief Executive of LondonMetric, commented:
"We continue to see good liquidity for our assets at prices in line with current book values. These sales further reduce our floating rate debt which is now only £35 million and represents just 4% of total drawn debt. This will have a positive impact on our earnings as well as further reduce our loan to value."
