Local Shopping slashes debt as disposal programme progresses

Local Shopping REIT plans to regrow business

Local Shopping REIT managed to generate an NAV uplift of just 1p per share (from 41p to 42p) over its accounting year that finished on 30 September. LSR adopted a policy of selling off its portfolio and returning proceeds to shareholders in July 2103 and has made some progress with this over the year.

It managed to slash its debt – cutting its Loan to Value ratio from 75.2% to 56.1% as they sold off 235 properties through “project Minard” and a further 23 properties sold off piecemeal, including five flats. This was a significant reduction in the size of their portfolio – leaving them with 387 properties with 1,190 letting units producing an annual rental income of £7.9m.
