Wavertree Development Agreement

Dukemount Capital plc, the long-dated income provider and property management company is pleased to announce that it has, through its subsidiary DKE (Wavertree) Ltd, agreed a forward funding and assignment of the contract of the Wavertree property in Liverpool to Time: Social Freehold, a fund managed by Time Investments. The preliminary construction and associated costs, that have been incurred to date, have been recovered from Time: Social Freehold. DKE (Wavertree) Ltd ongoing development costs will be funded by monthly payments against architects' certifications, and a development profit is paid upon practical completion of the conversion works, which are estimated to take approximately 8 months.  The total funding package is being provided by Time: Social Freehold for the redevelopment.
