CIVITAS SOCIAL HOUSING PLC
("Civitas" or the "Company")
GBP3.7 million acquisition of three regulated social housing
properties
The Board of Civitas Social Housing PLC is pleased to announce
that the Company has completed the purchase of three regulated
social housing properties comprising 26 tenancies for a total
consideration of GBP3,651,920. The properties are leased to
Auckland Home Solutions C.I.C. ("Auckland") and Encircle Housing
Limited ("Encircle") both of which are regulated by the Regulator
of Social Housing and are counterparty to existing leases within
the Company's portfolio.
The properties will be immediately income-generating with an
initial net yield in line with the Company's expectations and were
sourced off-market by Civitas Housing Advisors Limited, the
Company's investment manager.
The properties have been adapted for use as accommodation for
tenants with learning disabilities and other care needs, and there
is a care provider in place at each property. The properties are
subject to 25 year leases and rents are adjusted annually in line
with CPI over the full period.
The acquisitions were funded through the Company's cash
resources from the Company's C Share of which a total of GBP234
million (before purchase costs) has now been invested and
committed. In due course, following conversion of the C Share, it
is intended that leverage will be applied to this portfolio in
accordance with the Company's stated policy and it is expected that
this will further enhance the yield achieved from this
investment.
Civitas targets the objective of delivering sustainable returns
to its shareholders by making socially relevant investments within
the regulated social housing sector in England and Wales.
