Another NAV-accretive disposal

Palace continues to demonstrate its ability to grow NAV per share through its strategic recycling of assets. The disposal of a property in Maldon has realised value created through recent asset management initiatives. As with two other recent sales, this is in line with the company’s strategy to increase shareholder value through active management of the investment portfolio. We have adjusted our forecasts for the £1.56m gain in value and, although we have not assumed any additional acquisitions, would expect Palace to reinvest the proceeds in other regional property assets at attractive yields and with further scope for capital gains.
