Disposal

Wynnstay Properties PLC 06 October 2004 Wynnstay Properties PLC 6 October 2004 Wynnstay Properties PLC ('Wynnstay' or 'the Company') Investment Property Disposal Wynnstay Properties PLC announces that on 6 October 2004, contracts were exchanged for the sale of its freehold office and retail property interests in York Road, Bognor Regis, West Sussex for a cash consideration of £1,475,000. This compares with their combined valuation of £1,025,000 at 25 March 2004, resulting in a surplus of £450,000 before costs and taxation. Completion is scheduled to take place on 25 February 2005, until which date the Company is entitled to the rental income derived from the properties, currently amounting to £107,000 p.a. Commenting on the transaction, Philip Collins, Chairman, said 'These properties have been a part of Wynnstay's portfolio for many years. Although benefiting, in some instances, from long lease terms, they have not demonstrated the rental growth that we have seen elsewhere in the portfolio. This aspect, coupled with the substantial resulting surplus over valuation, provided a compelling case for their disposal.'
