Mark Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I thought this maybe of interest to people living in The Gardens as I believe they're the gardens mentioned in the article that are owned by Tilt.Grainger acquire portfolio of 309 units in London (taken from construction and maintenance news)British residential property firm Grainger plc has acquired the entire shareholding in The Tilt Estate Company Limited, which owns over 300 residential units, for ?47.9 million. The total property portfolio is valued at ?62.5 million and is located in East Dulwich, London, SE22, with the majority of properties situated around a private garden square.Two thirds of the properties are subject to assured shorthold tenancies and over 50 are subject to regulated or assured tenancies. They therefore increase and strengthen Grainger's existing portfolios. In addition, the portfolio is in line with the Company's acquisition criteria, as it offers a number of opportunities for Grainger's in-house property and asset management teams to add value. This is particularly significant to ensure the benefits from any potential long term upside in this improving area are delivered.The portfolio currently generates a total rent roll of ?2.2 million per annum. A number of the properties are currently vacant and therefore offer immediate opportunities to enhance income and the assets' underlying value. The purchase, from Wainford Holdings Limited, has been funded from existing facilities.

macroban Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 That's a 23% discount.Is this a measure of East Dulwich property over-valuation?

Jeremy Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm not surprised to hear this, they already sold off a few of their properties earlier this year.

One Christmas the old lady handing over a wrapped Christmas present although can't remember what it was. Certainly the end of an era.

SimonM Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Tilts used to donate a raffle prize in the annual garden fete that was held in the Village - the field by the old school. The prize was a week in a holiday apartment in a building they rented out (and perhaps owned too?) right on the river in Marlow. The only time I ever won a decent raffle prize was the summer I won this - and the Tilts people instantly gave me a free upgrade to the 3 bedroom apartment in the same building that actually overlooked the river, complete with shaded balcony where you could breakfast and feed the swans and watch the boats and anglers...So I am sorry to see them go...:)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1460-the-gardens-the-tilt-estate-company-limited-aquired/#findComment-39903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macroban Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 This transaction still doesn't make financial sense.Is there an overlap between the shareholders of the two companies?

mikeb Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Just seen this thread: the difference between the value of the equity and the value of the properties could be existing debt within the portfolio.

red devil Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Despite falling rents/interest rates, unemployment rising etc, Grainger have seen fit to ask me to stump up an extra 10% for my rent, welcome to the world of the corporate landlord...
