Rent Development

Attractive portfolio + operational excellence = strong rent growth

  • Sound growth maintained despite absence of cost rent adjustments (for restricted units)
  • Performance of free financed units signals underlying growth dynamics
  • Efficient deployment of capital remains key (rent growth relative to investments)
  • Regional focus as competitive edge

EPRA-Vacancy Development (like-for-like)

Attractive portfolio + operational excellence = low vacancies

  • High occupancy maintained; EPRA vacancy in line with vacancy result according to previous calculation method
  • Temporary increase in vacancy just due to typical seasonal pattern
  • Target to achieve a L-F-L vacancy of at least 2.8% in FY-2015 reiterated
