Completion of sale of last remaining investment in Fprop PDR LP

 

First Property Group plc (AIM: FPO), the property fund manager and investor, is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of Fprop PDR LP's last remaining investment, an office park in Uxbridge, following the fulfilment of certain conditions specified at exchange of contracts in March. The resulting contribution to the Group's profit, which will be recognised in the current financial year, is estimated to be £1 million.

 

Commenting on the sale, Group Chief Executive Ben Habib said:

 

"Our strategy to invest in redundant offices with the intent of converting them to residential use, utilising Permitted Development Rights (PDR), has generated high rates of return for our fund investors as well as First Property shareholders, and has done so in a manner consistent with the Government's aim of boosting the supply of affordable homes on brownfield land. Utilising PDR, we have enabled the creation of some 665 new flats with average sale prices of £190,000 for one bed flats and £250,000 for two bed flats, from office buildings which were approximately 95% vacant at the time of purchase. If the Government is serious about tackling the Nation's housing shortage we urge it to extend this successful policy beyond its current scheduled expiry in May 2016."
