Custodian Property Income REIT (LSE:CREI) has completed the sale of a vacant retail property in Guildford for £1.625 million, achieving a price 8% higher than its valuation from March 2025. Opting to sell rather than invest in refurbishment and re-letting, the company capitalized on strong interest from residential developers. This move enables Custodian to redirect capital toward strengthening its wider portfolio, ultimately aiming to enhance shareholder value.
The REIT’s financial profile remains solid, supported by steady cash flow and attractive dividend yields. While technical indicators suggest a neutral market stance, recent transactions like this sale align with the company’s broader growth-focused strategy. Nevertheless, ongoing profitability challenges and a reduction in equity call for a balanced, cautious outlook.
