11Tenanted Residential- Commentary and Key Points
- Robust sales performance in period, exceeding
September VPs by 6.5. - Heavy investment programme, 592 units for total
consideration of 45m. - Exposure to Central London low, geographic spread
protects against hot spot movements. - Low average VP values at 108K improve
saleability. - High margin business (46.5 gross margin on
sales) so discounting can give greater price
flexibility. - Residential skills being leveraged to produce
other returns eg mixed use development schemes,
asset and property management.
