LONDON (Reuters) - Property firm Land Securities
reported an 8.8 percent reduction in the value of its
portfolio, but said it was outperforming industry benchmarks
and that its planned demerger was progressing well.
The firm said on Wednesday that the value of its properties
fell 1.28 billion pounds in the year ended March 31 to around
13.58 billion.
"The market is demanding but we have performed well in
relative terms this year and our results show considerable
success in terms of value preservation in the face of a sharply
falling market," Chief Executive Francis Salway said in a
statement.
