In Leicester, a stand-alone Matalan unit has been sold to
private investors for GBP3.4 million, reflecting a NIY of 5.0%. The
store has less than three years left to expiry and has
redevelopment opportunities. Completion of the sale has been
delayed until June 2021.
On the Isle of Man, a property occupied by Boots and SPAR has
been sold to a local purchaser for GBP4.1 million, reflecting a NIY
of 6.5%. The Boots was re-geared recently onto a new 10 year
lease.
The disposals crystallise a GBP4.1 million profit on cost and
deliver an ungeared IRR of 11% pa since purchase. Total receipts
upon completion will be 1.3% above March 2020 book value.
Separately, LondonMetric has acquired three BP/M&S
convenience service stations in Brentwood, Pevensey and Lewes for
GBP10.8 million, reflecting a NIY of 4.7%, rising to 5.2% over five
years. The portfolio is let to BP for another 16 years and
generates a rent of GBP0.54 million p.a., with fixed rental
uplifts. Vacant possession value is materially above the purchase
price.
Andrew Jones, Chief Executive of LondonMetric, commented:
"In a zero interest rate environment, well-let real estate
continues to be in demand and so we have reacted to attractive
offers to monetise select assets, including further non-core
properties acquired through the Mucklow deal.
"These are all good sales which, together with our latest
acquisition of three quality assets let to BP, improves our income
granularity, lease lengths and credit whilst providing better
certainty of income growth and geographical focus."
