Legal completion of the Disposal is expected to take place on 3 October 2025.
The total consideration includes a rent-free period of one month amounting to £28,750. Deducting this from the total consideration gives a net consideration of £4,146,250 which is similar to the carrying value of the property on the balance sheet as at 31 December 2024 of £4,100,000.
In the year ended 31 December 2024, the Investment Property generated a rental income of £345,000.
The proceeds from the Disposal will be applied to the repayment of all bank debt, thereby strengthening the Group's cash position considerably.
