Lettings Update
Regional REIT (LSE: RGL), the regional property specialist, is pleased to announce that it has secured seven new lettings and eight lease renewals across its portfolio since the trading update on 15 May 2025. The fifteen transactions deliver a total annual rental income of over £1.6m and represent a 6.32% increase above estimated rental values, demonstrating the impact of the Group's active asset management strategy.
Stephen Inglis, Head of ESR Europe LSPIM Ltd., Asset Manager commented:
"This letting activity underscores the effectiveness of our capital expenditure strategy, securing rents above ERV. The lease renewals also announced today reflect the quality of our existing properties and strong relationships with our occupiers.
As demand continues to grow for sustainable, well-located and high-quality regional office space, and given the diminishing supply, Regional REIT is well-positioned to harness this momentum and deliver lasting value for shareholders, including the distribution of our attractive and fully covered dividend."
