("Custodian REIT" or the "Company")

 

Disposal of Property

 

Custodian REIT (LSE: CREI), the UK property investment company, is pleased to announce the disposal of a property from its portfolio. 

 

The Company has sold a 10,736 sq ft high street retail unit in Hinckley for £0.6 million, in line with the 31 December 2017 valuation.

 

The property was part of the initial portfolio acquired on the Company's admission to the London Stock Exchange in 2014.  The Company intends to use the proceeds from the disposal to fund acquisitions better aligned to its stated investment strategy.

 

Commenting on the disposal, Richard Shepherd-Cross, Managing Director of Custodian Capital Limited (the Company's external fund manager), said:

 

"Due to its size, this asset was identified as being non-core within our ongoing strategy.  Over the last year we have extended the lease at the property to enable disposal at the highest possible valuation."
