CIVITAS SOCIAL HOUSING PLC
("Civitas" or the "Company")
GBP9.0 million acquisition of five Specialist Supported Living
Properties
The Board of Civitas Social Housing PLC is pleased to announce
that the Company has completed the purchase of five specialist
supported living properties for a total consideration of
GBP9,017,155 ("the portfolio"), comprising 43 tenancies. The
properties will be managed by Chrysalis Supported Association
Limted ("Chrysalis"), Encircle Housing Limited ("Encircle") and
Falcon Housing Association ("Falcon"). Chrysalis, Encircle and
Falcon are Registered Providers, regulated by the Regulator of
Social Housing, and are counterparties to leases within the
Company's existing 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 or will be adapted for use as
specialist supported living accommodation for tenants with learning
disabilities and other needs, and there is a care provider in place
at each property. The properties are subject to 25-year leases with
rents adjusted annually in line with CPI over the full period.
The properties were funded through the Company's cash resources
from the Company's recently issued C Share. In due course, 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.
