Wynnstay Properties' portfolio gains £771,000 in value

Property investment and development company Wynnstay saw its investment portfolio gain in value over the last nine months.

Wynnstay told investors on Thursday that an independent assessment team had revalued the firm's investment properties at £35.09m, when adjusted for acquisitions and disposals, for a 2.25% year-on-year increase worth roughly 28p per share before tax.

The AIM-listed group also issued an update regarding the possible disposal of its Basingstoke property.

Wynnstay revealed that the nine-month lease and option to purchase granted to Bolling Investments had expired on 31 March but was extended on the same terms for a period of six months after the tenant applied for planning permission in December. Bolling was still awaiting a decision on its application.

As of 0840 BST, Wynnstay shares had inched forward 0.77% to 302.30p.
