Notes to Editors
Lok'nStore runs a high quality portfolio of 22 self-storage centres across the South East of England. All stores carry the distinctive bright orange and silver livery and are located in prominent locations adjacent to main roads and town centres. Total space available is 1.2 million sq ft, of which 64% is freehold and 36% leasehold. Lok'nStore has a pipeline of 2 new sites and 2 replacement sites, all of which have planning permissions.
As at 31st January 2010, adjusted net asset value was £2.10 per share with a loan-to-value ratio of 30.9% on £25m of net debt. Lok'nStore has a £40m facility with RBS which runs until 2012.
The UK self-storage market remains under-supplied with only 0.4 sq ft per person versus around 7 sq ft per person in the more mature US market. The UK market has been growing at 10-15% per annum for the last 10 years. (Source: The Self-Storage Association).
