(The "Company" or "PSDL")

Interim Results for the half year to 30 June 2018

ACTIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGY DRIVES RENTAL GROWTH & VALUATION GAINS

Phoenix Spree Deutschland (LSE: PSDL.LN), the UK listed investment company specialising in German residential real estate, announces its Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

Financial highlights

- Annualised like-for-like rental income up 11.4% to EUR14.5 million (six months to 30 June 2017: EUR13.1 million).

- Following the sale of Nuremberg & Fürth and Northern German portfolios, reported gross rental income of EUR9.1 million (six months to 30 June 2017: EUR9.5 million).

   -      Strong like-for-like rent per sqm growth of 9.9% (six months to 30 June 2017 5.0%). 
   -      EPRA NAV per share up 2.9% in H1 2018 to EUR4.23 per share (31 December 2017: EUR4.11). 
   -      EPRA NAV per share total return in H1 2018 of 4.1% (six months to 30 June 2017: 23.7%). 

- Profit before tax down 69.3% year-on-year to EUR19.4 million (six months to 30 June 2017 EUR63.1 m), due to lower net valuation gains after exceptionally strong prior year.

- Net loan to value of 25.8% at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: 31.6%). Average debt maturity now exceeds 8.1 years, with average interest rate of 2.1%.

- Increased first half dividend of EUR2.35 cents (GBP 2.1 pence), up 3.1% year-on-year (30 June 2017: EUR2.28 cents (GBP 2.0 pence)).

Operational highlights

- Like-for-like Portfolio value, adjusting for impact of acquisitions net of disposals, increased by 5.4% in H1 2018. Berlin like-for-like increase of 5.3% in H1 2018.

- Aggregate reported Portfolio value decreased by 4.2% to EUR583.7 million (31 December 2017: EUR609.3 million), reflecting impact of previously announced North German asset disposals.

   -      EPRA vacancy declined to 2.8% (30 June 2017: 3.7%). 

- Condominium sale completions up 9.2% to EUR 5.7 million (six months to 30 June 2017: EUR5.2 million). Average achieved value per sqm of EUR4,477 on sold units, a 34.9% premium to Berlin average value per sqm at 30 June 2018, based on Jones Lang LaSalle valuation.

- Investment of EUR3.4 million in Berlin renovations and modernisations during H1 2018, a new six-month high.

- Significant embedded value remains within the Portfolio: new leases in Berlin signed at an average 40.6% premium to passing rents.

Transition to pure-play Berlin portfolio now complete

- Targeted acquisition and disposal strategy has created a focussed Berlin portfolio, offering potential for greater economies of scale.

- Disposal of Central and Northern Germany portfolio completed in April 2018 for EUR73.0 million, a 26% premium to the Jones Lang LaSalle valuation as at 30 June 2017.

- Contracts to acquire 173 units notarised in H1 2018 for an aggregate value of EUR27.6 million, representing an average price per sqm of EUR2,423.

- As at 25(th) September, contracts to acquire a further 37 units notarised for an aggregate value of EUR6.5 million, representing an average price per sqm of EUR2,230.

Outlook

- Berlin demographic trends remain favourable with continuing population growth and job creation, a supply-demand imbalance of available rental stock and a high cost of new-build.

- Yield compression in the Berlin market is expected to moderate, after a multi-year period of declining property yields.

- Significant potential remains in the Portfolio to create value through reversionary letting and condominium sales.

- Potential for further value enhancing acquisitions, helped by strong balance sheet with long-term fixed rate debt and low interest rates.

Robert Hingley, Chairman of Phoenix Spree Deutschland, commented:

"I am pleased to announce that the Company has maintained its record of consistent increases in underlying rental growth, property values and EPRA NAV. The Company has continued successfully to concentrate and enlarge its presence in Berlin following the sale of our Northern German portfolio. Despite increased competition, the Company has made further value-enhancing Berlin acquisitions and the strength of our balance sheet will enable us to continue to grow the Portfolio through further, selective acquisitions.

Berlin property values have grown at a significant rate in recent years and, although the demographics remain compelling, this suggests that scope for further market yield compression is now more limited. However, the Board continues to see significant embedded value within the Portfolio, as demonstrated in the first half of the year by improving rents and further condominium sales at a premium to the Portfolio's rental property valuations. The Board looks forward to the second half of this year with confidence."

Chairman's Statement

Following an exceptionally strong performance in 2017, I am pleased to report that the Company has made further progress during the first half of the current financial year. Phoenix Spree has continued to deliver best in class rental growth versus its listed peers. The Berlin Portfolio, which has also grown through the acquisition of selective properties, registered additional underlying valuation gains and further progress was made with our condominium programme. During the first six months of the year, the value of the Portfolio increased by 5.4% on a like-for-like basis and the EPRA NAV total return per share was 4.1%.

The Company has repositioned its geographic focus through a combination of disposals of properties outside Berlin, all at a premium to trailing book value, and a Berlin-focussed acquisition programme. Following completion of the disposal of the Northern German portfolio in April 2018, Phoenix Spree is now fully focussed on the Berlin residential market, offering scope for greater economies of scale, such as the consolidation of service contracts. The balance sheet remains strong and, notwithstanding significant competition for properties which fit the Company's strict acquisition criteria, there is scope for further Berlin acquisitions during the remainder of the year.

Following a number of years of rapid property price inflation, yield compression in the Berlin market is expected to moderate, although the strong demographic trends that have fuelled the growth of Berlin's residential market remain in place. Demand for available rental property continues to outstrip supply and acquisition prices for existing residential property remain below the cost of construction.

This undersupply, combined with an ongoing reinvestment programme to improve the overall quality of our living accommodation, has created significant future embedded value within the Berlin Portfolio. This was evidenced in the first half of the year by new leases which continue to be signed at a premium to in-place rents and condominium sales completed at a premium to our average rental property valuations.

The City of Berlin continues to afford rental tenants protections among the highest in the Western world and, following the creation of the new Grand Coalition, additional proposals aimed at bolstering tenant protection are being proposed. Phoenix Spree has always operated, and is committed always to operate, within the regulatory framework and the Company's strategy will evolve to ensure compliance at all times.

The Company also recognises that its environmental and social responsibilities are intrinsically linked to the success and sustainability of the business. To this end, a Corporate Responsibility Committee has been established to oversee the implementation of our "Better Futures" plan, reporting to the Board and advising on Corporate Responsibility-related issues. We look forward to communicating our plans and progress to shareholders during the second half of the year.

The Board continues to view the prospects for the Berlin property market with optimism and remains confident that the Company's active asset management strategy will deliver further capital growth and dividend income to its investors. As previously disclosed, following the disposal of the North German portfolio the Company's portfolio is almost entirely focused on Berlin, where rental yields have historically been lower than in other parts of Germany. The dividend is paid from the operating cash flows including the disposal proceeds from condominium projects, but these are necessarily less predictable than cash flows from rentals. Bearing all these factors in mind, the Board is pleased to declare a dividend of EUR2.35 cents (GBP2.1 pence) per share for the first half of the year, an increase of 3.1 % over the comparable period in 2017, which is expected to be paid on or around 19 October 2018 to shareholders on the register on 5 October 2018.

Financial results

Reported revenue for the six-month period was EUR9.1 million (six months to 30 June 2017: EUR9.5 million). This decrease reflects the sale of both the Northern German Portfolio in April 2018, and the Nuremberg & Fürth portfolio in June 2017, partially offset by strong like-for-like rent per sqm growth of 9.9%.

The Company has reported a profit before taxation for the period to 30 June 2018 of EUR19.4 million (six months to 30 June 2017: EUR63.1 million) which was positively affected by a revaluation gain of EUR21.7 million (30 June 2017: EUR70.1 million). Reported earnings per share for the period were EUR16 cents (six months to 30 June 2017: EUR55 cents).

The Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend EUR2.35 cents per share (GBP2.1 pence per share) for the first half of the year (six months to 30 June 2017: EUR2.28 cents, GBP2.0 pence). The dividend is expected to be paid on or around 19 October 2018 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 5 October 2018, with an ex-dividend date of 4 October 2018.

Like-for-like portfolio value increase of 5.4%

As at 30 June 2018, the Portfolio was valued at EUR583.7 million (31 December 2017: EUR609.3 million) by Jones Lang LaSalle GmbH, the Company's external property valuer. This represents a 4.2% decline over the six-month period, following the disposal of assets in Central & Northern Germany.

On a like-for like basis, excluding the impact of acquisitions net of disposals, the portfolio value increased by 5.4%. This increase primarily reflects market growth in rental values, assisted by the Company's active asset management strategy.

The valuation as at 30 June 2018 represents an average value per square metre of EUR3,275 (31 December 2017: EUR2,853), a gross fully occupied yield of 3.1% (31 December 2017: 3.4%) and a net yield, using EPRA methodology, of 2.6% (31 December 2017 2.8%). Included within the Portfolio as Assets Held for Sale are condominium properties with an aggregate value of EUR25.7 million (31 December 2017: EUR29.8 million).

EPRA NAV total return of 4.1% in H1 2018

Reported EPRA NAV per share rose by 2.9% in the first half of 2018 to EUR4.23 (GBP3.74) (31 December 2017: EUR4.11 (GBP3.65)). After taking into account the 2017 final dividend of EUR5.0 cents (GBP: 4.4p), which was paid in June 2018, the EPRA NAV total return in the first half of 2018 was 4.1% (H1 2017: 23.7%).

Adjusted for the one-off movement in tax relating to the North German disposal from deferred to current, and the separately identified non-recurring costs, underlying total shareholder return was 5.2%.

Accelerating rental growth, falling vacancy.

Against a backdrop characterised by undersupply of available rental property and population growth in Berlin, the Company's portfolio has continued to deliver strong underlying rental growth. Including the impact of acquisitions and disposals, annualised rental income for the period to 30 June 2018 was EUR17.0 million. This represents a like-for-like increase of 11.4% compared with the period to 30 June 2017.

Average in place rent was EUR8.4 per sqm as at 30 June 2018, an increase of 8.8% compared with 30 June 2017. On a like-for-like basis, the increase was 9.9% (year to 30 June 2017: 5.0%).

Berlin reported average rent per sqm was EUR8.3, an increase of 6.0% compared with 30 June 2017, reflecting underlying like-for-like rental growth, partially offset by the impact of recent acquisitions which typically have lower rental values upon takeover. On a like-for-like basis, the increase in Berlin rent per sqm was 9.3%.

Reported vacancy at 30 June 2018 was 5.6% (30 June 2017: 11.1%). On an EPRA basis, which adjusts for units undergoing development and made available for sale, the vacancy rate was 2.8% (30 June 2017 3.7%). The Berlin EPRA vacancy rate stood at 2.9% in the first half of 2018 (H1 2017: 4.0%).

Berlin new lettings premium over 40%

During the period, 134 new leases were signed, representing a first half letting rate of 5.9% of units. The average rent achieved on new lettings was EUR11.7 per sqm, an 18.6% increase on the same period in 2017.

The Company continues to re-let units at a substantial premium to in-place rents. During the first six months of 2018, new leases were signed at an average premium of 40.6% to passing rents. The Company believes this uplift illustrates the significant embedded opportunity for continued future rental growth within the Portfolio, particularly on recently acquired buildings which frequently have a historical investment backlog.

Acquisitions & Disposals

Since listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in June 2015, the Company has been progressively transitioning its geographic focus with the aim of creating a larger, Berlin-focused portfolio offering greater economies of scale. This has involved the disposal of non-Berlin assets, all at a premium to trailing book value, combined with an ongoing programme of carefully selected Berlin-located acquisitions.

This transition was effectively completed following the sale of the Company's Northern Germany assets in April 2018. This portfolio, initially acquired in 2006/2007 for an aggregate purchase price of EUR38.7 million, consisted of 34 properties located in Bremen, Hannover, Hildesheim, Verden, Delmenhorst, Kiel, Oldenburg, Lüneburg and Lübeck. The portfolio was sold for a cash consideration of EUR73.0 million, representing a 26% premium to the Jones Lang LaSalle valuation as at 30 June 2017.

The Company continues to focus on growing its portfolio of Berlin assets and, during the first six months of the financial year, 8 buildings with an aggregate valuation of EUR27.6 million were notarised for acquisition. In total, these buildings represent 173 units (163 residential and 10 commercial), at an average price per sqm of EUR2,423, and annual fully occupied rent of EUR1.0 million. The acquired properties offer significant scope for improvement through active asset management and will complement the Group's existing portfolio, adding an initial 5.6% to rental income. As at 25 September, 2018, contracts to acquire a further 37 units in Berlin had been notarised for an aggregate value of EUR6.5 million, representing an average price per sqm of EUR2,230.

Acquisitions have been financed using a combination of debt and equity, with a target loan-to-value ratio of approximately 50%. Following completion of all acquisitions and disposals notarised to date, Berlin represents over 99% of the Company's portfolio value on a pro-forma basis.

Portfolio enhancements

The Company takes its responsibilities towards its tenants very seriously and has continued to invest in the Portfolio in order to improve the overall standard of accommodation. During the first half of 2018, a total of EUR3.4 million was invested across the Portfolio (H1 2017 EUR3.0 million). These items are recorded as capital expenditure in the Financial Statements and a further EUR0.9 million incurred on repairs and maintenance has been expensed through the profit and loss account.

Rental apartment upgrades include a carefully planned process of modernisation and renovation. Depending on the level of historical underinvestment by previous owners, apartment improvements can involve redecoration, heating system and boiler renewal, new insulation, double glazing, plumbing and flooring, as well as kitchen and bathroom renewal. Communal areas, both indoor and outdoor, are also reviewed for potential improvement where investment has historically been lacking.

Condominium sales remain high

The Company's condominium strategy involves the division and resale of a small number of selected apartment blocks as private units. This is subject to full regulatory approval and involves the legal splitting of the freeholds in properties that have been identified as being suitable for condominium conversion. The process aims to utilise the valuation differential that exists between the market value of a rental unit within a rental block and its resale value as a private apartment. The sales proceeds can be redeployed into improvements in the existing portfolio of rental buildings, further acquisitions, repaying debt and supporting the dividend.

During the first half of 2018, 15 apartments were notarised for sale, with an aggregate value of EUR6.1 million (30 June 2017 EUR3.9 million). The average notarised value per sqm achieved was EUR4,597, representing a 38.5% premium to the 30 June 2018 Berlin Portfolio average of EUR3,319 per sqm.

Since June, two additional apartments have been notarised for sale for an aggregate value of EUR0.7 million. Further condominium sales are expected in the second half of the year from programmes that are currently underway and the Company will continue to identify and implement new condominium projects from its existing portfolio of properties. As at 30 June 2018, 42% of properties within the Berlin portfolio had been legally split, providing opportunities for the implementation of further projects where appropriate.

Debt and gearing

As at 30 June 2018, the Company had gross borrowings of EUR191.4 million (31 December 2017: EUR222.3 million) and cash balances of EUR40.9 million (31 December 2017: EUR27.2 million), resulting in net debt of EUR150.5 million (31 Dec 2017: EUR195.1m) and a net loan to value on the portfolio of 25.8% (31 December 2017: 32.0%).

The decrease in gross debt in the period partly results from debt repayments of EUR43.9 million associated with the sale of properties from the Company's Central and Northern Germany portfolio, and EUR5.5 million from debt repayments associated with the sale of condominiums. This was offset by the disbursement of EUR12.0 million of debt secured against new acquisitions and EUR7.8 million equity release against the existing portfolio. The increase in cash balances, and resulting fall in net loan to value, reflects the cash received from the sale of the Northern Germany portfolio in Q2 2018, net of relevant loan repayments and loan disbursements.

All of the Group's debt has been refinanced within the past two years, providing stable, long-term, low-cost funding. Nearly all loans have fixed interest rates and, as at 30 June 2018, the blended interest rate of the Company's loan book was 2.1% (30 June 2017: 1.9%). The average remaining duration of the loan book at 30 June 2018 had increased to 8.1 years (30 June 2017: 6.3 years).

Since 30 June 2018, the Group has disbursed EUR1.2 million debt secured against a new acquisition and is currently in the process of arranging new debt to be secured against recent and currently notarised acquisitions.

Funds that have been made available to the Group by way of equity release or through disposals are used to invest in the existing portfolio and to fund new acquisitions. Although currently well funded, the Group will continue to assess its financing options for growth, including debt, equity and joint ventures.

Outlook

The recent trend towards trade protectionism has begun to affect global growth forecasts and the German economy has not been immune. In May 2018, the European Commission had predicted that the German economy would expand by 2.3 per cent this year, but this has since been moderated to 1.9 per cent, with a similar rate of growth predicted for 2019.

However, Berlin's economic growth prospects are relatively insulated from the impact of global protectionism. The City of Berlin is less reliant on the manufacturing sector, which is likely to bear the brunt of any escalation in trade protectionism. The Berlin economy is largely dominated by the service sector, representing over 80% of all employment, with a strong emphasis on education, research, business services, telecommunications, cultural and creative industries and health services. Although downsized since reunification, the public sector still accounts for the majority of jobs.

Whilst the wider economic outlook has become less certain, demographic trends within Berlin remain supportive. The population continues to grow, although net immigration has fallen below the peak levels seen in the years since 2011, which averaged c 47,000 new arrivals each year, compared to an estimated 40,000 in 2017. This growth continues to increase demand for rental apartments, whilst supply is set to remain constrained by lack of available land, a shortage of new build permits and high new-build construction costs. Therefore, significant reversionary potential within the portfolio should remain, offering the potential for further growth in rental values and protection against any deceleration in the Berlin market rent levels.

With 84% of all Berlin residents renting, tenants have always enjoyed a high level of protection. Berlin's regional government authority is continuing to explore ways of controlling market rental growth. More recently, this has included additional measures to restrict the partitioning and resale of rental blocks as condominiums and a small number of instances where Berlin districts have implemented a first right of refusal to purchase rental blocks when they become available for sale on the open market. Phoenix Spree has always operated, and is committed always to operate, within the regulatory framework and the Company's strategy will evolve to ensure compliance at all times

with all applicable property laws.

The Company also recognises its wider responsibility to demonstrate to shareholders that it is operating responsibly, managing its social and environmental impacts for the benefit of all stakeholders. Following a thorough review of how sustainability is managed within our business our "Better Futures" Corporate Responsibility Plan has been developed. This will provide a framework to measure existing activities better while adding new initiatives to improve our overall sustainability.

From a governance perspective, a CR Committee has been established to oversee the implementation of the Better Futures plan reporting on progress to the Board and advising on CR related material issues. It is anticipated that our CR strategy will be fully implemented throughout our business operations by the fourth quarter of the year and the Company looks forward to communicating this strategy in more detail to our stakeholders in its 2018 Annual Report.

The Board remains confident that the Company's active asset management strategy should continue to generate growth in rental income and property values during the second half of the year, supported by selected additions to the portfolio and further condominium projects.

Key Performance Indicators

The Company has chosen a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPI's), which the Board believes may help investors understand the performance of the Company and the underlying property portfolio.

In the six months to 30 June 2018:

-- The value of the property portfolio grew by 5.4% on a like-for-like for basis. This increase was driven by modest yield compression and an increase in like-for-like average rent per let sqm of 9.9% (H1 2017: 5.0%)

   --     The EPRA vacancy of the Portfolio at 30 June 2018 stood at 2.8% (30 June 2017: 3.7%) 

-- The Group continued with its targeted condominium programme, agreeing sales of EUR6.1 million in the half year to 30 June 2018 (H1 2017: EUR3.9 million)

-- EPRA NAV per share increased by 2.9 % to EUR4.23 as at 30 June 2018 (30 December 2017 EUR4.11),

-- The declared dividend for the half year 2018 was EUR2.35 cents (2.1 pence) per share, an increase of 3.1% in Euro terms (H1 2017 EUR2.28 cents (2.0 pence) per share)

  of the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year 
  ended 31 December 2017. 
 
 The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2017 
  are extracted from but do not comprise, the Group's annual financial statements 
  for that financial year. 
 
 The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorised 
  and approved for issue on 27 September 2018. 
 
 The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are neither reviewed 
  nor audited, and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning 
  of Section 105 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. 
 
 2.1 Change of accounting 
  policy 
 The performance fee payable to the property manager had previously been 
  disclosed in property expenses. Due to this fee being linked to the fair 
  value increase, it is now presented separately in the condensed consolidated 
  statement of comprehensive income with a restatement of the prior year 
  figures. This has resulted in a reduction of Property Expenses in June 
  2017 by EUR10.653 million. The change of policy has no effect on reported 
  profit. 
 
 2.2 Going 
 concern 
 The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
  on a going concern basis which assumes the Group will be able to meet 
  its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The Directors 
  have prepared cash flow forecasts which show that the cash generated from 
  operating activities will provide sufficient cash headroom for the foreseeable 
  future. 
 
 2.3 New standards and 
 interpretations 
 No new standards, amendments or interpretations effective for annual periods 
  beginning on or after 1 January 2018 had an impact on the Group. This 
  includes the adoption of IFRS 15 - 'Revenue from contracts with customers' 
  which became mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 
  January 2018. 
 
 The following relevant new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations 
  have been issued, but are not effective for the financial year beginning 
  on 1 January 2018, as adopted by the European Union, and have not been 
  early adopted: 
 
 Title                         As issued by the IASB, mandatory for accounting 
                                periods starting on or after 
 
 IFRS 16 Leases                Accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 
                                2019 
 
 The Directors have considered that the adoption of this standard in future 
  periods will have no material impact on the financial statements of the 
  Group. The impact of IFRS 16 removes the differentiation between financial 
  and operational leases with regard to the Lessee party. As the Group is 
  the lessor in their contractual arrangements IFRS 16's approach is substantially 
  unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. 
 
 
 
 
 
 3. Critical accounting estimates 
  and judgements 
 The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity 
  with IFRS requires the Group to make certain critical accounting estimates 
  and judgements. In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, 
  management has decided the following estimates and assumptions have a 
  significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
  of assets and liabilities within the financial year; 
 
 i) Estimate of fair value of investment 
  properties 
 The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market 
  of investment properties with similar leases and other contracts. In the 
  absence of such information, the Group determines the amount within a 
  range of reasonable fair value estimates. In making its judgement, the 
  Group considers information from a variety of sources, including: 
 
 a) Current prices in an active market, and its third party independent 
  experts, for properties of different nature, condition or location (or 
  subject to different lease or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those 
  differences. 
 
 b) Recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, with adjustments 
  to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions 
  that occurred at those prices. 
 
 c) Discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future 
  cash flows, derived from the terms of any existing lease and other contracts, 
  and (where possible) from external evidence such as current market rents 
  for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount 
  rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the 
  amount and timing of the cash flows. 
 
 For further information with regards to the movement in the fair value 
  of the Group's investment properties, refer to the management report on 
  pages 5 to 8. 
 
 ii) Judgment in relation to the recognition 
  of assets held for sale 
 Management has assumed the likelihood of investment properties - held 
  for sale, in that they will be sold within 12 months, in accordance with 
  the requirement of IFRS 5. Management considers that based on historical 
  and current experience that the properties can be reasonably expected 
  to sell within 12 months. 
 
 4. Segmental 
 information 
 Information reported to the Board of Directors, which is the chief operating 
  decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment 
  of segment performance is focussed on the different revenue streams that 
  exist within the Group. The Group's principal reportable segments under 
  IFRS 8 are therefore as follows: 
 
 - Residential 
 - Commercial 
 
 All revenues are earned in Germany with property and administrative expenses 
  incurred in Jersey, Guernsey and Germany.

 The property portfolio was valued at 30 June 2018 by the Group's independent 
  valuers, Jones Lang LaSalle GmbH ('JLL'), in accordance with the methodology 
  described below. The valuations were performed in accordance with the 
  current Appraisal and Valuation Standards, 8th edition (the 'Red Book') 
  published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). 
 
 The valuation is performed on a building-by-building basis and the source 
  information on the properties including current rent levels, void rates 
  and non-recoverable costs was provided to JLL by the Property Advisors 
  PMM Partners (UK) Limited. Assumptions with respect to rental growth, 
  adjustments to non-recoverable costs and the future valuation of these 
  are those of JLL. Such estimates are inherently subjective and actual 
  values can only be determined in a sales transaction. 
 
 Having reviewed the JLL report, the Directors are of the opinion that 
  this represents a fair and reasonable valuation of the properties and 
  have consequently adopted this valuation in the preparation of the condensed 
  consolidated financial statements. 
 
 The valuations have been prepared by JLL on a consistent basis at each 
  reporting date and the methodology is consistent and in accordance with 
  IFRS which requires that the 'highest and best use' value is taken into 
  account where that use is physically possible, legally permissible and 
  financially feasible for the property concerned, and irrespective of the 
  current or intended use. 
 
 All properties are valued as Level 3 measurements under the fair value 
  hierarchy (see note 24) as the inputs to the discounted cash flow methodology 
  which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are not observable. 
 
 The unrealised fair value gain in respect of investment property is disclosed 
  in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income as 'Investment 
  property fair value gain'. 
 
 Valuations are undertaken using the discounted cash flow valuation technique 
  as described below and with the inputs set out below. 
 
 Discounted cash flow 
 methodology 
 (DCF) 
 The fair value of investment properties is determined 
  using discounted cash flows. 
 
 Under the DCF method, a property's fair value is estimated using explicit 
  assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the 
  asset's life including an exit or terminal value. As an accepted method 
  within the income approach to valuation the DCF method involves the projection 
  of a series of cash flows on a real property interest. To this projected 
  cash flow series, an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied 
  to establish the present value of the income stream associated with the 
  real property. 
 
 The duration of the cash flow and the specific timing of inflows and outflows 
  are determined by events such as rent reviews, lease renewal and related 
  lease up periods, re-letting, redevelopment, or refurbishment. The appropriate 
  duration is typically driven by market behaviour that is a characteristic 
  of the class of real property. 
 
 Periodic cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, 
  non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, maintenance 
  cost, agent and commission costs and other operating and management expenses. 
  The series of periodic net operating incomes, along with an estimate of 
  the terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is 
  then discounted. 
 
 The Group categorises all investment properties in 
  the following three ways; 
 
 Rental Scenario 
 Where properties have been valued under the "Discounted Cashflow Methodology" 
  and are intended to be held by the Group for the foreseeable future, they 
  are considered valued under the "Rental Scenario" This will equal the 
  "Investment Properties" line in the Non-Current Assets section of the 
  condensed consolidated statement of financial position. 
 
 Condominium 
 scenario 
 Where properties have the potential or the benefit of all relevant permissions 
  required to sell apartments individually (condominiums) and have received 
  Board approval then we refer to this as a 'condominium scenario' (these 
  assets are considered held for sale under IFRS 5 and can be seen in note 
  14). The additional value is reflected by using a lower discount rate 
  under the DCF Methodology. Properties which do not have the benefit of 
  all relevant permissions and do not have Board approval for sale, are 
  described as valued using a standard 'rental scenario'. 
 
 Disposal 
 Scenario 
 Where properties have been notarised for sale prior to the condensed consolidated 
  statement of financial position date, but have not completed; they are 
  held at their notarised disposals value. These assets are considered held 
  for sale under IFRS 5 and can be seen in note 14. 
 
 The table below sets out the assets valued 
  using these 3 scenarios:

 Investment properties are re-classified as current assets and described 
  as 'held for sale' in three different situations: Properties notarised 
  for sale at the reporting date, Properties where at the reporting date 
  the group has obtained and implemented all relevant permissions required 
  to sell individual apartment units, and efforts are being made to dispose 
  of the assets (condominium); and Properties which are being marketed for 
  sale but have currently not been notarised. 
 
 Properties notarised for sale by the reporting date are valued at their 
  disposal price (disposal scenario), and other properties are valued using 
  the condominium or rental scenarios (see note 13) as appropriate. The 
  table below sets out the respective categories:

 The redemption liability relates to the put option held by the minority 
  shareholders of PSPF for the purchase of the minority interest in PSPF. 
  The option period starts on 6 June 2020. The amount of the purchase price 
  will be based on the EPRA NAV on the balance sheet date as well as the 
  movement in the EPRA NAV during the year and the proportion of EPRA NAV 
  attributable to the non-controlling interest in PSPF. 
 
 A portion of the liability (EUR980k, December 2017: (EUR795k), June 2017: 
  (EUR539k)) is recognised to cover the tax charge of the minority in PSPF 
  on the proceeds received if the put option is exercised. 
 
 The recognition of the redemption liability has been accounted for as 
  a reduction in the Non-Controlling Interest with the remainder of the 
  recognition against the Group's retained earnings. Also see the condensed 
  consolidated statement of changes in equity for the recognition accounting.

 Property Advisor 
  Fees 
 The Property Advisor is entitled to an asset and estate management performance 
  fee, measured over consecutive three year periods, equal to 20% of the 
  excess by which the annual EPRA NAV total return of the Group exceeds 
  8% per annum, compounding (the 'Performance Fee'). The Performance Fee 
  is subject to a high watermark, being the higher of: 
 
 (i) the most recently published EPRA NAV 
  on 4 March 2015; and 
 (ii) the highest previously recorded EPRA NAV total return 
  at the end of a performance period 
 
 The Company's EPRA NAV performance for the three year's ending 31 December 
  2017 had resulted in a performance fee due under the Property Advisory 
  Agreement to the Property Advisor of EUR33.948 million. The parties agreed 
  that this performance fee (but not any further performance fees that may 
  become due) shall be settled through the issuance by the Company to the 
  Property Advisor of 8,260,065 new shares in the Company at EPRA NAV per 
  share. 50% of the shares issued in settlement of this fee are subject 
  to a 12-month restriction on disposal. The shares were admitted to trading 
  on the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main 
  Market of the London Stock Exchange on 4 May 2018. 
 
 Under the Property Advisory Agreement for providing property advisory 
  services, the Property Advisor is also entitled to a Portfolio and Asset 
  Management Fee as follows: 
 
 (i) 1.50% of the EPRA NAV of the Group where the EPRA NAV of the Group 
  is equal to or less than EUR250 million; and 
 (ii) 1.25% of the EPRA NAV of the Group between EUR250 million 
  and EUR500 million; and 
 (iii) 1% of the EPRA NAV of the Group greater 
  than EUR500 million. 
 
 The Property Advisor is entitled to a capex monitoring fee equal to 7% 
  of any capital expenditure incurred by any Subsidiary which the Property 
  Advisor is responsible for managing (the 'Capex Monitoring Fee'). 
 
 The Property Advisor is entitled to receive 
  a finance fee equal to: 
 
 (i) 0.1% of the value of any borrowing arrangement which the Property 
  Advisor has negotiated and/or supervised; and 
 (ii) a fixed fee of GBP1,000 in respect of any borrowing arrangement which 
  the Property Advisor has renegotiated or varied. 
 
 The Property Advisor is entitled to receive a transaction fee fixed at 
  GBP1,000 in respect of any acquisition or disposal of property by any 
  Subsidiary. 
 
 Details of the fees paid to the Property Advisor 
  are set out in note 26.

 Fair value of 
 financial 
 instruments 
 With the exception of the variable rate borrowings, the fair values of 
  the financial assets and liabilities are not materially different to their 
  carrying values due to the short term nature of the current assets and 
  liabilities or due to the commercial variable rates applied to the long 
  term liabilities. 
 
 The interest rate swap was valued externally by the respective counterparty 
  banks by comparison with the market price for the relevant date. 
 
 The interest rate swaps are expected to mature between January 
  2022 and March 2028. 
 
 The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing 
  the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: 
 
 Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical 
  assets or liabilities; 
 
 Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant 
  effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly; 
  and 
 
 Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on 
  the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. 
 
 During each of the reporting periods, there were no transfers 
  between valuation levels.
