("Civitas" or the "Company")
Grenfell Tower and Subsequent Events
The tragic events surrounding Grenfell Tower have led to a
national evaluation of the use of certain building materials and
construction methods in high rise buildings.
Civitas seeks to ensure that the properties within the portfolio
are of a high standard and suitable for use by the tenants. This is
supported by 100 per cent physical inspection prior to purchase
with an associated programme of monitored improvements as
required.
The Company's strategy is to buy individual home dwellings and
low rise smaller apartment buildings. Civitas does not buy or own
any high rise or older system-built properties to which the issues
referred to relate. It has never been the intention to acquire any
such properties as they do not fit within the Company's investment
strategy.
At this time we wish to extend our thoughts to those caught up
in these tragic events. Civitas Housing Advisers Limited has made a
private donation to the British Red Cross London Fire Relief
Fund.
