Asset Management Update
Picton provides an asset management update in respect of portfolio and leasing activity.
Michael Morris, Chief Executive of Picton, commented:
"We are capturing a positive leasing pipeline and are particularly encouraged by the progress made within our office portfolio. This reflects the upgrading works we have undertaken to improve our buildings to meet occupier demand and drive positive rental growth.
"We have supported occupiers expanding and welcomed new occupiers to our assets. We have a good breadth of demand across all areas of the portfolio, from a range of occupiers in the financial, logistics, technology and professional services sectors".
In the NAV and Trading Update issued on 29 January 2026 Picton reported a pipeline of 11 lettings with terms agreed, subject to contract, totalling an annual rental income of £1.6 million. The Company can confirm that seven lettings have now completed, totalling £0.8 million of annual rental income, at an average rent that was 2% ahead of December 2025 ERV. Overall, 92% of the lettings were in the office sector.
There is a current pipeline of seven lettings where terms are agreed, subject to contract, totalling an annual rental income of £1.2 million at an average rent that is 1% above December 2025 ERV. 74% of these transactions are in the office sector.
In addition, refurbishment works are ongoing at two key industrial assets, which have been subject to recent vacancies and where discussions are ongoing with a number of interested occupiers:
· Radlett - a planning application was submitted last month to extend the unit
· Rushden - the space is now available to lease on a fitted basis
