Stephen Inglis, CEO of London & Scottish Property Investment Management, the Asset Manager, commented:

'Demand continues to be strong and we are very encouraged by the rental rates that we are able to achieve, ahead of ERV. This further demonstrates that we are witnessing rental growth in our portfolio on a national scale. We also have no shortage of properties to make further acquisitions and to actively manage, improve and subsequently rent out at higher levels or seek an attractive disposal rate.'

'The diversity of income across the portfolio continues to grow as we expand our asset base and further enhance the quality and quantity of our rental income and expand our tenant base. We look forward to updating shareholders further on our progress in due course.'
