Positive Letting Update

Delta 1200, Swindon and Bennett House, Stoke-on-Trent

Fully Occupied, both Ahead of Estimated Rental Value

Regional REIT Limited (LSE: RGL), the regional workspace specialist, is pleased to announce two new lettings at Bennett House, Stoke-on-Trent and Delta 1200, Delta Business Park, Swindon. The buildings are both modern and sought after office properties and are now 100% occupied, providing an aggregate rental income of £0.8 million per annum.

This follows the successful letting of previously vacant units: Bennett House (46,183 sq. ft.) of 7,511 sq. ft to NHS Property Services Ltd. for 5 years with a break option in March 2027, at a rent of £95,000 (£12.65/ sq. ft.), 9.8% ahead of ERV; and at Delta 1200 (20,178 sq. ft.) a letting of 9,776 sq. ft. has been leased to the life sciences sector for 10 years with the option to break in February 2029, at a rent of £185,744 (£19.15/ sq. ft.), 8.6% ahead of ERV.

Bennett House occupies a prominent main roadside location with excellent access to the town centre and surrounding amenities and is arranged over ground floor and two upper floors, with 161 car park spaces providing an excellent town centre parking ratio of 1:290 sq ft.. The property was subject to a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2019 resulting in the letting 32,514 sq. ft. to The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government and 6,620 sq. ft. to the Valuation Office. This latest letting sees the property fully occupied. The property has an EPC B rating.

Delta 1200 comprises a detached office building arranged over two floors extending to 20,178 sq. ft.. The property benefits from 85 car parking spaces, providing a parking ratio of 1:244 sq. ft.. The fully let status of the building follows a refurbishment of the ground floor and installation of a new VRF system that saw existing tenant TM Group (UK) Ltd. re-gear their lease for a further 10 years with a break at year five, at a rental income of £187,236 (£18.00/ sq. ft.). Following completion of refurbishment works, the EPC for the property also improved from B to A.

Stephen Inglis, CEO of London & Scottish Property Investment Management, Asset Manager commented:

"We are pleased to see further letting progress with this announcement of both Bennett House and Delta 1200 achieving fully let status at rentals well ahead of ERV. Our ongoing active programme of improving our assets has helped us secure new high-quality tenants and in turn bolstered the overall properties occupancy and rental income. These lettings are testament to an improving regional office market and demonstrates demand for our high quality assets."
