Warrington healthcare property investors increase rents to £41 million

Warrington-based healthcare property investors and developers Assura Group have increased their rent roll by £1 million since September last year, to £41 million.

The firm, which has recently completed developments in the North East and the Midlands, has increased annual rents by 2.19%.

Sales of three Local Improvement Financial Trust (LIFT) schemes added £10.5 million to Assura’s book value after costs.

The firm are currently looking for a supermarket partner to develop land in Scarborough that is available.

Graham Roberts, the firm’s chief executive, said: “The recent completion of the sale of our interests in several LIFT schemes has provided us with a boost to our net asset value of 2 pence per share and gross proceeds of over £22 million for us to re-invest into primary care property.

“We remain ideally positioned to support GPs in providing the premises to meet the increasing demands being placed on the primary care sector.”
