PORTFOLIO VALUATION AS AT 31 MARCH 2026
As at 31 March 2026, the Company's portfolio has been independently valued by CBRE at £31.3 million, a like-for-like decrease of c. 16% on the 30 September 2025 valuation.
The portfolio consists of four investment properties (Newcastle, Exeter, Leamington Spa and Northampton) and one residential property, together with a ground rent freehold interest (York).
The value of the three office assets fell by c. 11%, with St James Gate, Newcastle accounting for most of the office portfolio valuation deficit. The Forum, Exeter is currently under offer and the valuation of that asset reflects the under-offer price, net of costs required to create vacant possession (necessary to complete the sale).
The value of the remaining leisure asset, Sol, Northampton has fallen by c. 25% from £12.8 million as at 30 September 2025 to £9.6 million as at 31 March 2026. While the valuation decrease is significant, it is worth noting that Sol, Northampton was valued at £9.7 million as at 31 March 2025.
As at 31 March 2026, the Company still owns eight apartments at Hudson Quarter, York, valued at £2.95 million. Of these eight apartments, three were under offer at the valuation date for net proceeds broadly in line with the valuation (one sale has since completed on 1 April 2026).
The Company will release interim results for the period ended 31 March 2026 on 11 June 2026 which will include an unaudited NAV reflecting the updated portfolio valuation as at 31 March 2026.
