Share buy-backs and dividend

-- Following positive Mietendeckel ruling, the Company has adopted a more proactive buyback strategy in order to take advantage of the valuation discount.

-- Since proactive share buyback programme announced on 2 June 2021, a further 3.2 per cent of shares in issue have been repurchased to 23 September 2021 at an average discount to trailing EPRA NTA of 12%

-- Discount to EPRA NTA has narrowed from 30 per cent to 12 per cent during the first half of the financial year.

-- Unchanged interim dividend of 2.35 cents. Dividend increased or maintained since listing in June 2015.

Update on COVID-19 and Mietendeckel

-- Collection of backdated Mietendeckel rents progressing well; as at 23 September 2021 over 91 per cent past due rents collected.

-- EPRA vacancy of 1.3 per cent at a record low; reduction in supply of available rental accommodation created by Mietendeckel has yet to be reversed.

-- Continued limited impact on rent collection from COVID-19. Over 97 per cent of rents collected during H1 2021, with the collection rate remaining consistent in H2 2021 to date.

Outlook

-- Outcome of German election on 26 September remains uncertain, with several coalition permutations possible.

   --    Long-term Berlin demographic trends expected to remain positive: 

o Decreased availability of rental stock, exacerbated by the recently removed Mietendeckel, continues to support market rents;

o Net inward migration expected to strengthen when restrictions associated with COVID-19 are permanently removed.

-- Potential for further valuation creation through condominium projects and sales - condominium pricing expected to remain strong, particularly for centrally located Berlin apartments.

-- Significant reversionary potential underpins future rental growth - increased capex anticipated to drive acceleration in reversionary rental income growth.

-- Robust business model, a strong balance sheet and good levels of liquidity mean PSD remains well positioned to reinvest in its Portfolio.

o The Company continues to monitor the best use of funds to generate shareholder value including, amongst other options, share buy-backs versus potential acquisitions.

Robert Hingley, Chairman of Phoenix Spree Deutschland, commented:

"I am pleased to report another period of solid performance and growth. Despite the further market disruption caused by the combined effects of COVID-19, the Mietendeckel and its subsequent reversal, the Portfolio delivered further valuation gains reflecting the strong demand for living space in Berlin.

Berlin market dynamics remain positive and affordability comparisons with other German cities are still favourable. Despite the uncertainty ahead of the outcome the German Federal Election, it is expected that Berlin demographic trends, particularly net inward migration, will further strengthen when restrictions associated with COVID-19 are permanently removed. This will provide further support for PSD's reversionary strategies and allow us to continue to deliver value to shareholders."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report that, during the first half of the financial year, PSD has delivered further increases in property values and rental revenues. As at 30 June 2021, the Portfolio was valued at EUR777.7 million by Jones Lang LaSalle GmbH, a like-for-like increase of 2.5 per cent since 31 December 2020.

The first six months of the financial year were characterised by significant market disruption caused by the combined effects of COVID-19, the Mietendeckel and its subsequent reversal. Notwithstanding this, the Company was able to deliver a total return per share of 3.6 per cent.

Although the Mietendeckel did not cause transaction values in the Berlin residential property market to fall during the period in which it was in place, equity markets attached a significant risk premium to the valuation of listed Berlin residential property businesses. The removal of the Mietendeckel and the uncertainty it created, combined with our proactive share buyback programme (at an average discount to 2020 yearend NAV of 19.0 per cent over first sixth months of the year) and the notarisation of condominiums for sale (at an average premium to book value of 25.4 per cent over the first six months of the year), has underpinned a positive performance for the Company. Against this backdrop, PSD's share price outperformed the FTSE All-Share index by 16 per cent and the FTSE 350 Real Estate Investment Services Sector by 17 per cent during the first half of the financial year.

The Berlin Mietendeckel

PSD and its legal advisors were always firmly of the opinion that the Mietendeckel was unconstitutional. The Company therefore welcomed the ruling by the German Federal Court on 15 April 2021, that the Mietendeckel was unlawful and should be struck out in its entirety. A more detailed update on the impact of the Mietendeckel is contained within the report of the Property Advisor.

Share buy-backs

Notwithstanding the removal of the Mietendeckel, PSD's shares continued to trade at a material discount to Net Asset Value in the weeks after the court ruling. The Board believed that this discount did not reflect the record and performance of the underlying Portfolio and the positive outlook following the removal of the Mietendeckel. For this reason, on 2 June 2021, the Company announced its intention to adopt a more proactive buyback strategy to take advantage of the valuation discount and to seek to ensure that the share price better reflected the underlying Net Asset Value. A material allocation of capital has been made available to fund the buy-back programme through a combination of existing cash balances, refinancing, condominium sale proceeds and the disposal of non-core assets.

COVID-19

The Company's overriding priority is the health and wellbeing of its tenants, work colleagues and wider stakeholders during what has been a period of significant disruption. Where appropriate, the Company continues to support its tenants, both residential and commercial, through agreeing, on a case-by-case basis, the payment of monthly rents or deferring rental payments.

I am nevertheless pleased to report that the impact of COVID-19 on PSD's rent collection has been very limited, with the level of rent arrears in line with pre-COVID levels. I am confident that, as the current restrictions and disruptions created by COVID-19 recede, PSD will be well placed to continue to deliver its investment objectives. The Company will continue to closely monitor any future potential impacts of COVID-19 on both the Berlin economy and PSD.

Our Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) progress

The Board believes that taking a sustainable and socially responsible approach to our business delivers long-term success and benefits for all of our stakeholders. As a member of EPRA, we want to contribute to greater transparency in reporting. Therefore, in 2020, we strengthened our commitment to delivering against our environmental and social impacts by introducing EPRA's Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations and capturing our ESG measurements within their framework.

I am delighted to report that this commitment has been recognised at the EPRA Sustainability Awards 2021, with PSD receiving both a Silver and Most Improved award in recognition of the Company's commitment to best practice in its reporting. This recognition further encourages us to continue to approach the future in a consistent, ethical, safe and environmentally friendly way.

Our charitable initiatives

PSD takes a strategic approach to its charitable giving which is guided by our Community Investment Policy and focuses on supporting charities where there is a connection with either 'homelessness' or 'families.' Since February 2019, we have provided support to a women's refuge (The Intercultural Initiative) that helps women affected by domestic violence, providing emergency shelter, advice and counselling to the women and their children. I am pleased to report that, during the first half of 2021, PSD has committed to supporting an additional Berlin charity, Laughing Hearts. This charity supports children living in children's homes and social care.

Dividend

The Board is pleased to declare an unchanged interim dividend of 2.35 cents per share (2.02 pence per share) for the first half of the year (six months to 30 June 2020: 2.35 cents, 2.1 pence). The dividend is expected to be paid on or around 29 October 2021 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 8 October 2021, with an ex-dividend date of 7 October 2021.

Since listing on the London Stock Exchange in June 2015 and including the announced dividend for 2021 and bought-back shares held in treasury up to 23 September 2021, EUR75.9 million has been returned to shareholders of which EUR41.8 million relates to dividends and EUR34.1 million to share buybacks. The Board is committed to continuing to provide shareholders with a secure dividend over the medium term.

REPORT OF THE PROPERTY ADVISOR

Federal Court rules against the legality of the Berlin Mietendeckel

On 15 April 2021 the German Federal Constitutional Court, the highest court in Germany, ruled that the Mietendeckel was unlawful and thus void.

The uncertainty created during the period in which the Mietendeckel was in place significantly disrupted the Berlin residential market. One consequence was to reduce significantly the supply of available rental accommodation, as rental stock was withdrawn from the market, causing record-low vacancy rates. This trend has been reflected across PSD's portfolio and has persisted in the months since the Mietendeckel was removed.

Another consequence was to reduce significantly the investment in the stock of Berlin housing. PSD's reversionary rental strategy which, before the introduction of the Mietendeckel, had delivered consistently strong rental growth since listing in 2015, was partly reliant on high levels of capital expenditure which could not be justified under the Mietendeckel rules. The removal of rent controls will allow the Company to restore the level of investment into the Portfolio to pre-Mietendeckel levels.

The Portfolio has continued to demonstrate significant reversionary potential, as evidenced by the fact that, during the first half of the current financial year, new lettings in Berlin were signed at an average premium of 35.8 per cent to passing rents. This reversionary gap should underpin rental growth in the medium term, irrespective of market rental growth. The Company will also continue with its strategy of crystallising condominium reversionary value within the Portfolio through the selective sale of individual units as condominiums at a premium to book value.

Prior to the Mietendeckel ruling, all rental agreements had been structured to revert to pre-Mietendeckel rent levels and to allow for the back-payment of higher rents now legally due for the period during which the Mietendeckel was in place. The Company had previously estimated that the amount of back-dated rent which could be claimed from tenants for the period in which the Mietendeckel was in place to be approximately EUR2.1 million, of which EUR0.8 million related to backdated rents from 2020.

As at 30 June, 86 per cent of rents (EUR1.8 million) had been collected, and; as at 23 September 2021, 92 per cent of rents (EUR2.0 million) had been collected. Tenants had been advised by the Berlin government to set aside appropriate reserves, and the Company will continue to work on a case-by-case basis with any tenants suffering hardship as it collects the remainder of back-dated rents due.

(2 - GBP:EUR FX rate 1:1.163 as at 30 June 2021)

Revenue for the six-month period was EUR12.9 million (six months to 30 June 2020: EUR12.0 million). Profit before taxation was EUR20.4 million (six months to 30 June 2020: EUR15.3 million) which was positively affected by a revaluation gain of EUR16.0 million (30 June 2020: EUR17.0 million), an increase in revenue collected after the removal of the Mietendeckel, a reduction in property and administrative costs and a positive movement in our interest rate swaps. Reported earnings per share for the period were 17 cents (six months to 30 June 2020: 12 cents).

Reported EPRA NTA per share rose by 2.7 per cent in the first half of 2021 to EUR5.42 (GBP4.66) (31 December 2020: EUR5.28 (GBP4.76)). After taking into account the 2020 final dividend of 5.15 cents (4.65 pence), which was paid in June 2021, the EUR EPRA NTA total return in the first half of 2021 was 3.6 per cent (H1 2020: 3.9 per cent). The GBP EPRA NTA total return for the same period was -1.1 per cent, reflecting the strengthening of the GBP against the EUR in the first six months of the year.

The Board is pleased to declare an unchanged interim dividend of 2.35 cents per share (2.02 pence per share) for the first half of the year (six months to 30 June 2020: 2.35 cents, 2.1 pence). The dividend is expected to be paid on or around 28 October 2021 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 8 October 2021, with an ex-dividend date of 7 October 2021.

Like-for-like portfolio value increase of 2.5 per cent

As at 30 June 2021, the Portfolio was valued at EUR 777.7 million (31 December 2020: EUR768.3 million). This represents a 1.2 per cent increase over the six-month period. On a like-for-like basis, excluding the impact of disposals, the Portfolio value increased by 2.5 per cent . This reflects a reversion to market rents following the removal of the Mietendeckel, f urther progress in condominium splitting and improvements in the micro locations of certain assets.

Following the ruling of the Federal court, the interim Portfolio valuation undertaken by Jones Lang LaSalle GmbH (JLL) for the half-year ended 30 June 2021, now assumes market (as opposed to Mietendeckel) rents for the full Discounted Cashflow (DCF) period after the Mietendeckel was declared unconstitutional.

(2 - GBP:EUR FX rate 1:1.163)

The Berlin residential property market has remained stable in the first half of the financial year and, although transaction volumes remained below peak levels, investment demand observed by JLL continues to support increased pricing, reflecting the fact that market participants placed a high probability on the Mietendeckel being struck out. JLL has conducted a RICS Red Book property-by-property analysis and has provided a Portfolio valuation, tied back to comparable market transaction values.

The valuation as at 30 June 2021 represents an average value per square metre of EUR4,075 (31 December 2020: EUR3,977), at a gross fully-occupied yield of 2.9 per cent (31 December 2020: 2.4 per cent). Included within the Portfolio are eight properties valued as condominiums, with an aggregate value of EUR43.4 million (31 December 2020: nine properties, aggregate value EUR52.4 million).

The previous Portfolio valuation for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 had assumed that the Mietendeckel would be fully implemented for its entire five-year lifespan and therefore incorporated the negative impact on rental income caused by the Mietendeckel.

Like-for-like rental income per square metre growth of 4.6 per cent

After considering the impact of acquisitions and disposals, like-for-like rental income per square metre grew 4.6 per cent compared with 30 June 2020. Like-for-like rental income grew 4.3 per cent over the same period.

Gross in-place rent was EUR9.5 per sqm as at 30 June 2021, an increase of 4.3 per cent compared with 30 June 2020 and an increase of 2.0 per cent on 31 December 2020.

EPRA vacancy at record low

Reported vacancy at 30 June 2021 was 7.7 per cent (30 June 2020: 8.0 per cent). On an EPRA basis, which adjusts for units undergoing development and made available for sale, the vacancy rate was 1.3 per cent (30 June 2020: 4.3 per cent). Although the Mietendeckel has been removed, the decline in the availability of rental property it caused has yet to be reversed.

Berlin reversionary re-letting premium of 35.8 per cent

During the year to 30 June 2021, 102 new leases were signed, representing a letting rate of approximately 4.3 per cent of occupied units. The average rent achieved on all new lettings was EUR11.7 per sqm, a 7.6 per cent increase on the prior year, and an average premium of 23.5 per cent to passing rents. This compares to an 18.7 per cent premium in the period to 30 June 2020.

The reversionary premium is negatively impacted by the inclusion of re-lettings from the acquisition in Brandenburg in 2020, where rents are lower than those achieved in central Berlin. Looking solely at the Berlin portfolio, which represents 91.5 per cent of total residential lettable space, the reversionary premium achieved was 35.8 per cent, down from 37.0 per cent in the prior period.

Limited impact from COVID-19 on rent collection

The prolonged duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the restrictions and uncertainty it has caused have had a limited impact on rent collection levels. Excluding collection of back-dated rents, over 97 per cent of rents due had been collected during the first six months of the financial year.

Where appropriate, PSD continues to support its tenants, both residential and commercial, by agreeing, on a case-by-case basis, the payment of monthly rents or deferring rental payments. In addition, PSD has in place a Vulnerable Tenant Policy which it will continue to monitor and apply to relevant tenants.

Portfolio investment

During the first half of 2021, a total of EUR2.7 million was invested across the Portfolio (H1 2020: EUR2.2 million). These items are recorded as capital expenditure in the Financial Statements. A further EUR0.6 million was spent on maintaining the assets and is expensed through the profit and loss account. Following the legal ruling against the Mietendeckel, it is anticipated that capital expenditure will rise significantly in the second half of the financial year as projects which had been postponed or cancelled pending a final ruling on the legality of the Mietendeckel are reinstated.

Condominium sales at a premium to book value

PSD's condominium strategy involves the division and resale of selected properties as single apartments. This is subject to full regulatory approval and involves the legal splitting of the freeholds in properties that have been identified as being suitable for condominium conversion.

During the first half of 2021, 13 condominium units were notarised for sale for an aggregate value of EUR4.3 million (H1 2020: EUR3.0 million). The average achieved notarised value per sqm for the residential units was EUR4,821, representing a 25.4 per cent premium to book value and a 18.3 per cent premium to the average residential portfolio value as at 30 June 2021.

Since the reporting date, the Company has notarised for sale a further 11 condominium units with total value EUR3.9 million and at a price per square metre of EUR5,655. This represents a 25.3 per cent premium to book value and a 38.8 per cent premium to the average residential portfolio value as at 30 June 2021.

As at 23 September 2021, 74 per cent of the Portfolio had been registered as condominiums, providing opportunities for the implementation of further sales projects where appropriate. A further 11 per cent are in application, over half of which are in the final stages of the process. We believe this gives PSD greater strategic flexibility to respond to changes in market conditions than its peer group.

Condominium notarisations during the second quarter of 2021 were impacted by COVID-19 and the legacy impact of the Mietendeckel. The "second wave" of COVID made the viewing of occupied apartments more difficult. Additionally, record low vacancy rates caused by the Mietendeckel have continued, reducing the number of vacant apartments which can be made available for sale. As the Mietendeckel is no longer in place and the COVID vaccination programme in Germany is now progressing well, it is anticipated that the slowdown in condominium sales will be temporary.

Condominium construction

Prior to the removal of the Mietendeckel, the Property Advisor had completed an exercise to examine the financial viability of the creation of new condominium units within the footprint of the existing Portfolio.

The first project involves building out the attic and renovating existing commercial units to create seven new residential units in an existing asset bought in 2007. Construction on this project is underway and the first units are projected to be available for sale or rental in the first half of 2022. The total construction budget for this project is EUR3.9 million.

The second project is for the construction of a new 23-unit apartment block located in the footprint of a property acquired in 2018. Alongside this, the undeveloped attic of the same property will be built out with the creation of four new units for sale as condominiums, or for rental

The Company also has building permits to renovate attics in 20 existing assets to create a further 49

units for sale as condominiums or as rental stock.

Debt and gearing1

As at 30 June 2021, PSD had gross borrowings of EUR290.2 million (31 December 2020: EUR291.4 million) and cash balances of EUR28.4 million (31 December 2020: EUR37.3 million), resulting in net debt of EUR261.8 million (31 December 2020: EUR254.4 million) and a net loan to value on the Portfolio of 33.7 per cent (31 December 2020: 33.1 per cent). The increase in net debt in the period is a result of the cash used in the share buyback programme, offset slightly by debt repayments made upon sale of condominiums.

1 Section uses nominal loan balances as per note 17 rather than the loan balances on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position which consider Capitalised Finance Arrangement Fees in the balance.

Nearly all PSD's debt interest rates have been fixed through hedging and, as at 30 June 2021, the blended interest rate of PSD's loan book was 2.0 per cent (31 December 2020: 2.0 per cent). The average remaining duration of the loan book at 30 June 2021 had decreased to 5.3 years (31 December 2020: 6.0 years).

The Company is actively continuing to review its balance sheet and is looking for additional opportunities to add liquidity to further the Company's investment objectives.

Outlook

Predictably, the uncertainty created by the Mietendeckel has significantly disrupted the Berlin residential market. This has been reflected by a reduction in Berlin transaction activity (but not values) from prior peak levels, a significant reduction in the availability of rental accommodation for tenants, record low vacancy, and a decline in new investment in the Berlin housing market. Although it will take some time for these effects to be reversed, the removal of the Mietendeckel should alleviate these negative market consequences.

The Company is well placed to resume its reversionary rental strategy and the removal of the Mietendeckel will allow the Company to restore the level of investment into the Portfolio to pre-Mietendeckel levels. The fact that new lettings in Berlin for the first six months of 2021 were signed at an average premium of 35.8 per cent to passing rents should underpin rental growth in the medium term, irrespective of market rental growth.

PSD will also continue with its strategy of crystallising condominium reversionary value within the Portfolio through the selective sale of individual units as condominiums at a premium to book value. Exceptionally among its listed peers, over 74 per cent of the Company's Berlin portfolio has already been legally split into condominiums, with a further 11 per cent in application. The Property Advisor is confident that, as and when the current restrictions and disruptions created by COVID-19 recede, it will be well placed to continue to deliver on its condominium strategy.

The German Federal Elections are due to be held on 26 September 2021. Prior to these elections there was a "Grand Coalition" led by Angela Merkel between the CDU and the SPD which had been in power since the previous Federal Elections in 2017. Ahead of the elections, there remains a degree of uncertainty as to the outcome, with a number of coalition permutations possible after polling day. It may take some time before any coalition agreement is struck and any new policy initiatives relating to German residential real estate are agreed.

The Company notes that the Federal Government has previously discussed the introduction of legislation that may limit the ability of landlords to split their properties into condominiums. The implementation of any such measures would be likely to reduce the stock of apartments available on the market. Given the high proportion of the Portfolio already split into condominiums, any valuation impact on the Company's Portfolio would be expected to be positive.

During its 15 years of operation, the Company has adapted its business model many times to the changing regulatory environment while continuing to deliver positive returns to shareholders. The Property Advisor believes that the Company has a flexible enough business model to adapt to new regulations caused by a change in Government.

The monetary policy pursued by the European Central Bank in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely accommodating. While interest rates remain at low levels, relatively higher yields from residential real estate will remain attractive to institutional investors, such as insurance companies, pension funds and wealth managers, who are increasingly looking favourably on multi-family housing as an alternative to government bonds and other long-dated fixed income instruments.

Low interest rates will continue to benefit the Condominium market as well. Favourable mortgage rates, coupled with a lack of available rental properties, and favourable mortgage versus market rent dynamics, will continue to provide a tailwind for Condominium pricing.

The Property Advisor remains confident in the long-term outlook for PSD. Berlin market dynamics remain attractive and affordability comparisons with other German cities are still favourable. It is expected that Berlin demographic trends, particularly net inward migration, will further strengthen when restrictions associated with COVID-19 are permanently removed, providing further support to the reversionary rental strategy which has historically served investors and other key stakeholders in our business well.

   --    The EPRA vacancy of the Portfolio stood at 1.3 per cent (31 December 2020: 2.0 per cent). 

-- The Group continued with its targeted condominium programme, notarising sales of EUR4.3 million in the half year to 30 June 2021 (H1 2020: EUR3.0 million).

-- EPRA NTA per share increased by 2.7 per cent to EUR5.42 as at 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR5.28).

   --    The declared dividend for the half year 2021 was EUR2.35 cents (GBP2.02 pence) per share.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated 
 Financial Statements 
For the period from 1 January 
 2021 to 30 June 2021 
 
 
1. General information 
The Group consists of a Parent Company, Phoenix Spree Deutschland 
 Limited ('the Company'), incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands 
 and all its subsidiaries ('the Group') which are incorporated 
 and domiciled in and operate out of Jersey and Germany. Phoenix 
 Spree Deutschland Limited is listed on the premium segment of 
 the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. 
 
The Group invests in residential and commercial property in 
 Germany. 
 
The registered office is at 12 Castle Street, St Helier, Jersey, 
 JE2 3RT, Channel Islands. 
 
2. Basis of 
preparation 
The interim set of condensed consolidated financial statements 
 has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency 
 Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34 Interim 
 Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not 
 include all the information and disclosures required in the 
 annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction 
 with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 
 31 December 2020. 
 
As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the 
 Financial Conduct Authority, the financial statements have been 
 prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that 
 were applied in the preparation of the Company's published consolidated 
 financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. 
 
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 
 2020 are extracted from but do not comprise, the Group's annual 
 consolidated financial statements for that financial year. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were 
 authorised and approved for issue on 23 September 2021. 
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are 
 neither reviewed nor audited, and do not constitute statutory 
 accounts within the meaning of Section 105 of the Companies 
 (Jersey) Law 1991. 
 
2.1 Going concern 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have 
 been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Group 
 will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the 
 foreseeable future. The Directors carried out a thorough review 
 of the viability of the Company in the light of the continuing 
 COVID-19 outbreak across Europe, the conclusion of which was 
 that there were no concerns regarding the viability of the Company. 
 These condensed consolidated financial statements have therefore 
 been prepared on a going concern basis. 
 
2.2 New standards 
 and interpretations 
The following new standards, amendments or interpretations effective 
 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 have 
 been adopted and had no impact on the Group; 
 
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments 
 to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16). 
 Effective 1 January 2021. 
 
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements 
 in conformity with IFRS requires the Group to make certain critical 
 accounting estimates and judgements. In the process of applying 
 the Group's accounting policies, management has decided the 
 following estimates and assumptions have a significant risk 
 of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 
 assets and liabilities within the financial period; 
 
i) Estimate of fair value of investment properties 
The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active 
 market of investment properties with similar leases and other 
 contracts. In the absence of such information, the Group determines 
 the amount within a range of reasonable fair value estimates. 
 In making its judgement, the Group considers information from 
 a variety of sources, including: 
 
a) Discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates 
 of future cash flows, derived from the terms of any existing 
 lease and other contracts, and (where possible) from external 
 evidence such as current market rents for similar properties 
 in the same location and condition, and using discount rates 
 that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in 
 the amount and timing of the cash flows. 
 
b) Current prices in an active market for properties of different 
 nature, condition or location (or subject to different lease 
 or other contracts), adjusted to reflect those differences. 
 
c) Recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, 
 with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions 
 since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices. 
 
For further information with regard to the movement in the fair 
 value of the Group's investment properties, refer to the management 
 report. 
 
ii) Judgment in relation to the recognition of assets held for 
 sale 
In accordance with the requirement of IFRS 5, Management has 
 made an assumption in respect of the likelihood of investment 
 properties - held for sale, being sold within the following 
 12 months. Management considers that based on historical and 
 current experience of market since 30 June 2021, the properties 
 can be reasonably expected to sell within this timeframe. 
 
4. Segmental information 
Information reported to the Board of Directors, the chief operating 
 decision maker, relates to the Group as a whole. Therefore, 
 the Group has not included any further segmental analysis within 
 these condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements.

The property portfolio was valued at 30 June 2021 by the Group's 
 independent valuers, Jones Lang LaSalle GmbH ('JLL'), in accordance 
 with the methodology described below. The valuations were performed 
 in accordance with the current Appraisal and Valuation Standards, 
 8th edition (the 'Red Book') published by the Royal Institution 
 of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). 
 
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated 
 Financial Statements 
For the period from 1 January 
 2021 to 30 June 2021 
 
 
12. Investment 
properties 
(continued) 
 
The valuation is performed on a building-by-building basis and 
 the source information on the properties including current rent 
 levels, void rates and non-recoverable costs was provided to 
 JLL by the Property Advisors QSix Residential Limited. Assumptions 
 with respect to rental growth, adjustments to non-recoverable 
 costs and the future valuation of these are those of JLL. Such 
 estimates are inherently subjective and actual values can only 
 be determined in a sales transaction. JLL also uses data from 
 comparable market transactions where these are available alongside 
 their own assumptions. 
 
Having reviewed the JLL report, the Directors are of the opinion 
 that this represents a fair and reasonable valuation of the 
 properties and have consequently adopted this valuation in the 
 preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. 
 
The valuations have been prepared by JLL on a consistent basis 
 at each reporting date and the methodology is consistent and 
 in accordance with IFRS which requires that the 'highest and 
 best use' value is taken into account where that use is physically 
 possible, legally permissible and financially feasible for the 
 property concerned, and irrespective of the current or intended 
 use. 
 
All properties are valued as Level 3 measurements under the 
 fair value hierarchy (see note 24) as the inputs to the discounted 
 cash flow methodology which have a significant effect on the 
 recorded fair value are not observable. Additionally, JLL perform 
 reference checks back to comparable market transactions to confirm 
 the valuation model. 
 
The unrealised fair value gain in respect of investment property 
 is disclosed in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive 
 income as 'Investment property fair value gain'. 
 
Valuations are undertaken using the discounted cash flow valuation 
 technique as described below and with the inputs set out as 
 follows: 
 
Discounted cash flow methodology 
 (DCF) 
The fair value of investment properties is determined using 
 discounted cash flows. 
 
Under the DCF method, a property's fair value is estimated using 
 explicit assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities 
 of ownership over the asset's life including an exit or terminal 
 value. As an accepted method within the income approach to valuation 
 the DCF method involves the projection of a series of cash flows 
 on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, 
 an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied to establish 
 the present value of the income stream associated with the real 
 property. 
 
The duration of the cash flow and the specific timing of inflows 
 and outflows are determined by events such as rent reviews, 
 lease renewal and related lease up periods, re-letting, redevelopment, 
 or refurbishment. The appropriate duration is typically driven 
 by market behaviour that is a characteristic of the class of 
 real property. 
 
Periodic cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less 
 vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease 
 incentives, maintenance cost, agent and commission costs and 
 other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic 
 net operating incomes, along with an estimate of the terminal 
 value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then 
 discounted. 
 
The Group categorises all investment 
 properties in the following three ways; 
 
Rental Scenario 
Where properties have been valued under the "Discounted Cashflow 
 Methodology" and are intended to be held by the Group for the 
 foreseeable future, they are considered valued under the "Rental 
 Scenario" This will equal the "Investment Properties" line in 
 the Non-Current Assets section of the condensed consolidated 
 statement of financial position. 
 
Condominium scenario 
Where properties have the potential, or the benefit of all relevant 
 permissions required to sell apartments individually (condominiums) 
 then we value these as a 'condominium scenario'. Expected sales 
 in the coming year from these assets are considered held for 
 sale under IFRS 5 and can be seen in note 13. The additional 
 value is reflected by using a lower discount rate under the 
 DCF Methodology. Properties which do not have the benefit of 
 all relevant permissions are described as valued using a standard 
 'rental scenario'. Included in properties valued under the condominium 
 scenario are properties not yet released to held for sale as 
 only a portion of the properties are forecast to be sold in 
 the coming 12 months. 
 
Disposal Scenario 
Where properties have been notarised for sale prior to the reporting 
 date but have not completed; they are held at their notarised 
 disposal value. These assets are considered held for sale under 
 IFRS 5 as set out in note 13. 
 
The table below sets out the assets 
 valued using these 3 scenarios:

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated 
 Financial Statements 
 For the period from 1 January 
  2021 to 30 June 2021 
13. Investment properties - held for sale (continued) 
 
Investment properties are re-classified as current assets and 
 described as 'held for sale' in three different situations: 
 properties notarised for sale at the reporting date, properties 
 where at the reporting date the Group has obtained and implemented 
 all relevant permissions required to sell individual apartment 
 units, and efforts are being made to dispose of the assets ('condominium'); 
 and properties which are being marketed for sale but have currently 
 not been notarised. 
 
Properties notarised for sale by the reporting date are valued 
 at their disposal price (disposal scenario), and other properties 
 are valued using the condominium or rental scenarios (see note 
 12) as appropriate. The table below sets out the respective 
 categories: 
 
                                                                                30 June          30 June           31

 within 12 months of the reporting date based on Management knowledge

Performance Fee 
The Property Advisor is entitled to an asset and estate management 
 performance fee, measured over consecutive three-year periods, 
 equal to 15% of the excess (or in the case of the initial period 
 or any performance period ending prior to 31 December 2020, 
 16%) by which the annual EPRA NAV total return of the Group 
 exceeds 8% per annum, compounding (the 'Performance Fee'). As 
 the EPRA NAV measurement has been superseded by EPRA NTA (See 
 note 23), future performance fees will be calculated with respect 
 to movements in EPRA NTA. The Performance Fee is subject to 
 a high watermark, being the higher of: 
 
(i) EPRA NTA per share at 1 July 2018; and 
(ii) the EPRA NTA per share at the end of a Performance Period 
 in relation to which a performance fee was earned in accordance 
 with the provisions continued with the Property Advisor and 
 Investor Relations Agreement. 
 
 
Other Property Advisor Fees 
Under the Property Advisory Agreement for providing property 
 advisory services, the Property Advisor will be entitled to 
 a Portfolio and Asset Management Fee as follows: 
 
(i) 1.2% of the EPRA NTA of the Group where EPRA NTA 
 of the Group is equal to or less than EUR500 million; 
 and 
(ii) 1% of the EPRA NTA of the Group greater than EUR500 
 million. 
 
The Property Advisor is entitled to a capex monitoring fee equal 
 to 7% of any capital expenditure incurred by any Subsidiary 
 which the Property Advisor is responsible for managing. 
 
The Property Advisor is entitled to receive a finance 
 fee equal to: 
 
(i) 0.1% of the value of any borrowing arrangement which 
 the Property Advisor has negotiated and/or supervised; 
 and 
(ii) a fixed fee of GBP1,000 in respect of any borrowing 
 arrangement which the Property Advisor has renegotiated 
 or varied. 
 
The Property Advisor is entitled to receive a transaction fee 
 fixed at GBP1,000 in respect of any acquisition or disposal 
 of property by any Subsidiary. 
 
The Property Advisor is entitled to a letting fee equal to between 
 1 and 3 month's net cold rent (being gross rents receivable 
 less service costs and taxes) for each new tenancy signed by 
 the Company where the Property Advisor has sourced the relevant 
 tenant. 
 
The Property Advisor shall be entitled to a fee for Investor 
 Relations Services at the annual rate of GBP75,000 payable 
 quarterly in arrears. 
 
The management fee will be reduced by the aggregate amount of 
 any transaction fees and finance fees payable to the Property 
 Advisor in respect of that calendar year. 
 
Details of the fees paid to the Property Advisor are set out 
 in note 25.

Fair value of 
financial 
instruments 
With the exception of the variable rate borrowings, the fair 
 values of the financial assets and liabilities are not materially 
 different to their carrying values due to the short term nature 
 of the current assets and liabilities or due to the commercial 
 variable rates applied to the long term liabilities. 
 
The interest rate swap was valued externally by the respective 
 counterparty banks by comparison with the market price for the 
 relevant date. 
 
The interest rate swaps are expected to mature between July 
 2026 and March 2028. 
 
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing 
 the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: 
 
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical 
 assets or liabilities; 
 
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a 
 significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, 
 either directly or indirectly; and 
 
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant 
 effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable 
 market data. 
 
During each of the reporting periods, there were no transfers 
 between valuation levels.
