RNS Announcement for SLIPIT
The Company has completed several asset management initiatives to enhance the
quality of its income stream.
The Company has sold a vacant industrial unit in Skelmersdale to an owner
occupier for GBP2.84m (30 June valuation GBP2.64m). The Company received a 2.5
year rent premium from the previous tenant in July 2009.
A retail warehouse unit in Hull has been let to Dreams on a new 15 year lease at
GBP265,000 pa, and a logistics unit in Bardon Leicestershire has been let to the
VT Group at GBP155,000pa. (having been vacated on lease expiry in June 2010 by
the previous tenant).
As a result of these transaction the Company's void level has reduced to 3.6%
from 8% at 30 June 2010, which compares favourably to the IPD monthly index
level of 9.2% at end June.
Jason Baggaley, Fund Manager of SLIPIT said "We have concentrated on actively
managing the portfolio to reduce the voids in the fund and secure future income
flows. These transactions have secured good quality income for the Company, as
well as reducing outgoings on vacant units. Although the letting market is
tough, we are progressing several more transactions and hope to reduce the voids
further in the near future".
