Acquisition

5 Dec 2014 07:00

RNS Number : 9120Y
Belvoir Lettings PLC
05 December 2014
 



For Immediate release 5 December 2014

 

 

 

BELVOIR LETTINGS PLC

(the "Company" or "Belvoir")

 

Acquisition

 

Belvoir Lettings PLC (AIM:BLV), one of the UK's largest lettings franchises, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the trade of Lettings @ Victoria Mills, a lettings agency with a portfolio of 154 managed properties in Shipley, West Yorkshire. This is Belvoir's sixth acquisition during 2014.

 

The acquisition is in line with Belvoir's stated strategy of expanding its coverage across the UK and has been acquired by the franchise owner of Belvoir Leeds North West. Lettings @ Victoria Mills will be combined with the franchisee's current agency and will more than double the size of their property portfolio.

 

Belvoir has assisted in providing £66,000 as a franchisee loan from Head Office with the greater proportion of the acquisition price being financed by new bank facilities. This partial funding will ensure a better return on Belvoir's capital. Belvoir will benefit from an increase of £17,000pa in its management service fee revenue and the acquisition will be earnings enhancing in its first full year of ownership.

 

Mike Goddard, Chairman and CEO of Belvoir commented:

 

"This is another example of our franchisees establishing the Belvoir brand nationally. We are delighted to be able to support the expansion of this business through the Group's acquisitions funding programme."

 

"Throughout 2014 Belvoir has extended over £2 million worth of loans to support six acquisitions by the network as we continue to pursue further growth opportunities across the UK."
