The warehouse property was last valued at 31st December 2005 by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung. Since that time the property has been subject to improvement and high levels of maintenance by both the Company and the long term tenant. The tenant signed a 10 year lease agreement in May 2010. Having reviewed the basis of the most recent valuation, the rent currently payable by the tenant and the term of the current lease on the premises, it is the opinion of the directors that the current carrying value is a fair estimate of the open market value of the property and that the costs of performing a full revaluation of the property would be disproportionate to the benefit that would be obtained |
During 2013 the company acquired a further leasehold property under a lease of 1,000 years commencing in 1992. The directors consider the value of this property to be equal to its acquisition cost. |
