FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
15 February 2024
Home REIT plc
("Home REIT" or the "Company")
Property Sales
The Company announces that at a public auction held on the 14 February 2024, the Company has exchanged on the sale of a further 117 properties (the "Sale Properties"). Gross proceeds for the sales were £5.6m representing 1.4% of the Company's portfolio by value (based on JLL's August 2023 draft valuation), with completion expected in approximately one month's time.
The gross proceeds from the Sale Properties are £1.02m (15.5%) below the draft August 2023 values. The majority of the properties sold are below portfolio average lot size (as was the case in the January auction) which may cause a greater percentage variation when comparing sale price to the August draft valuation.
Sale proceeds will be used to reduce borrowings and provide working capital.
A further property is expected to be entered into a public auction today, 15 February 2024, the result of which will be included in the summary provided at the Company's next monthly update.
The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is FTI Consulting.
