Custodian Property Income REIT plc

(“Custodian Property Income REIT” or the “Company”)

Disposal of Property

Custodian Property Income REIT (LSE: CREI), which seeks to deliver a strong income return by investing in a diversified portfolio of smaller regional properties across the UK, is pleased to announce the disposal of a 16,869 sq ft office in Derby for £2.05m, 36% ahead of the 30 September 2023 valuation.

Commenting on the disposal, Richard Shepherd-Cross, Managing Director of Custodian Capital Limited (the Company’s external fund manager), said: “This office was acquired as part of the Company’s IPO portfolio in 2014 and has provided the Company with a healthy level of income over nine years of ownership. Given limited opportunities for further rental growth and in line with our strategy, we felt that now is the right time to sell. We expect to use the sale proceeds to repay variable rate debt and fund accretive improvements in the remaining portfolio, both of which we believe will better support the strategy of providing our shareholders with strong income returns.”
