Phoenix Spree Deutschland (PSDL), the Berlin residential property fund languishing on a 56% discount, plans to ramp up sales of condominiums to unlock the value in its portfolio, repay debts, resume dividends and possibly return capital to shareholders.
Reporting a 22.4% slump in net tangible assets (NTA) to €3.96 (£3.38) per share last year driven by a 11.9% slide in like-for-like valuations caused by higher interest rates, the€317m fund said it was in talks with its lender Natixis about modifying its financing arrangements.
These limit the number of units that can be put up for sale to around 6% of the portfolio. It currently only has seven properties valued at €35.1m, or 4% of assets, as condominiums. However,a further 73% has been legally split into individual apartments, enabling a significant increase in disposals that will please shareholders such as Hawksmoor, CG Asset Management and Asset Value Investors.
