PROPERTY PORTFOLIO VALUATION
Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc ("SERE" or the "Company"), the company investing in real estate in European growth cities, today provides an update on the independent valuation of the property portfolio and rent collection as at 31 March 2022:
- The direct property portfolio was independently valued at €211.0 million, reflecting a like for like increase over the quarter of 1.9%, or €3.93 million. In addition, the Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture in Seville which continues to be recognised at nil interest.
- The valuation increase over the quarter was driven by yield compression and indexation achieved across select office and logistics assets. With 100% of the portfolio leases subject to indexation, rising inflation is starting to contribute to rental growth.
- The portfolio valuation uplift attributable to yield compression was primarily driven by:
- Improved yield re-rating at the Rennes logistics investment, delivering a valuation increaseof €1.4 million, or 7.1%
- Improved yield re-rating at the Hamburg office investment, delivering a valuation increase of €1.1 million, or 4.5%
- Improved yield re-rating at the Nantes logistics investment, delivering a valuation increase of €0.4 million, or 6.5%
- Improved yield re-rating at the Rumilly logistics investment, delivering a valuation increase of €0.4 million, or 4.0%
- Approximately 96% of rent due for the quarter ended 31 March 2022 has been collected.
