The portfolio comprises four multi-let offices located in Redhill, Harefield, Bristol and High Wycombe. The assets total circa 131,036ft² and are expected to provide a net income of approximately €3m (£2.59m) per annum from 24 tenants; equating to a net initial yield of 8.7% and an anticipated reversionary yield of 9.7%. The portfolio's weighted average unexpired lease term is 3.1 years and 5.4 years to expiry.
Stephen Inglis, CEO of London & Scottish Property Investment Management, the Asset Manager, commented: "We are pleased to have acquired this institutional-quality office portfolio in southern England which is earnings accretive and offers significant potential opportunities for realising valuation uplifts from our asset management initiatives. We continue to methodically employ our bottom up research approach to each acquisition, as we deploy the recently successfully raised funds. In light of the increasingly attractive pipeline we look forward to updating shareholders of further acquisitions in due course."
