Regional REIT ( (GB:RGL) ) just unveiled an update.

Regional REIT has refinanced and extended a key banking facility, agreeing a three-year extension on a £72.4m debt facility that was previously due to mature in August 2026, following a substantial reduction in the facility from £128m through property disposals. The extension, backed by a lending syndicate of The Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Scotland and Santander UK, lengthens the group’s average debt maturity to 2.6 years and maintains the current borrowing cost until existing interest-rate hedging expires in August 2026, after which the weighted average cost of debt is expected to rise from about 3.4% to around 4.1%; management said the deal reinforces its banking relationships and provides stability to continue deleveraging, improving income and investing via its capex programme.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:RGL) stock is a Hold with a £106.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Regional REIT stock, see the GB:RGL Stock Forecast page.
