FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
9 November 2023
Home REIT plc
("Home REIT" or the "Company")
Property Sales
The Company announces that it has exchanged on the sale of a further 153 properties (the "Sale Properties"), representing 6.5% of the Company's portfolio by number, for a total of £24,345,462 at a series of public auctions held over the last two days. Completion is expected in approximately one month's time.
The Sale Properties were identified as being in poor condition, largely vacant and requiring significant capital expenditure in order to be brought up to specification.
Of the properties exchanged for sale, 73 properties were subject to leases with tenants in liquidation which will be surrendered prior to completion. The proceeds from the Sale Properties represented an average of 35% per cent of their purchase price.
As part of AEW's strategy to stabilise the property portfolio, the proceeds of their sale will be used to reduce the Company's borrowings and provide working capital.
The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is FTI Consulting.
