Company: Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust Limited
Subject: SLIPIT Purchase
Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust is pleased to announce that it
has completed the purchase of Interplex 16 Bristol for GBP4.6m - two industrial
units located close to the junction of the M4 and M5. The larger of the two
units is currently vacant and will be refurbished by the Company, whilst the
second is let on a short lease, and the Company will seek to extend the term.
The anticipated income yield after this asset management is just over 8%. The
Company has also exchanged contracts to sell a small office in Swansea for GBP
1.3m (completion due 29 June) and a small industrial unit in Stockton on Tees
for GBP1.3m (completion due 14 August). The Company is progressing in the latter
stages of several other purchases to invest the proceeds of the recent equity
raise.
Jason Baggaley, fund manager of SLIPIT said "We are pleased to have been able
to redeploy cash into assets that give us the potential for higher returns. Our
low void level gives us the opportunity to invest in properties that are not
currently let so that we can enhance the revenue return through active asset
management."
