Company: Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust Limited
Subject: SLIPIT Property Sale
Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust has completed the sale of a small industrial unit in Cheltenham to the tenant for £2.175m, reflecting a yield of 4.8%. The sale price was 8% ahead of the valuation as at 30 June.
Jason Baggaley, Fund Manager, commented: The industrial unit in Cheltenham was the Company’s second smallest asset, and had limited opportunity for the manager to add value. It was a very old unit that was of limited demand to other users, and the sale at a profit enables us to concentrate on other assets which better meet the Company’s requirements.
