Value & Indexed Property Income Trust PLC said on Friday it acquired a freehold leisure investment at Coventry Crosspoint Business Park.

Value & Indexed Property is a Glasgow, Scotland-based investment trust company. It invests mainly in directly held UK commercial property.

The firm said the acquisition is worth £7.8 million at a net yield of 7.4%. Rental income from this property totals around £600,000, the company said.

Value & Indexed Property said the acquisition completes its transition to a fully invested property investment trust, with its dividend fully covered by contracted rental income.

The company also noted the completion of three long-let property purchases in the year ended March 31, which were purchased for £25.5 million. This includes the Coventry leisure park investment.

Value & Indexed Property said 100% of rent was collected at year-end, with 60% of rental income coming from its top six tenants, which includes Marks & Spencers PLC, Premier Inn and J Sainsbury PLC.

The company also said Savill’s year-end independent valuation of its portfolio totalled £150.5 million at a net yield of 5.8%, compared to £157.6 million in September 2022.

Shares were down 2.0% at 203.80 pence in London on Friday morning.
