Group, UK and France vacancies were largely unchanged since 30 June 2021.

Vacancy in Germany had increased, primarily due to the expected expiry of leases at Parsevallstrasse and Hansaalle in Dusseldorf.

As a result of current lease negotiations, the company said it was expecting a reduction in German and Group vacancy by year-end.

Since 1 July 2021, there had been 26 deals securing £2.9 million of annual rent at 10% above estimated rental value.
