The net leasing during the period amounted to SEKm -8 (21). The gross leasing during the period was SEKm 73 (75), of which SEKm 10 (12) were leases for new constructions, extensions and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 81 (54), of which bankruptcies were SEKm 6 (4) and SEKm 14 (1) were notices of termination with at least 18 months remaining length of contract.
"We can't be anything but pleased with the growth in property management, even if net leasing shows a downward trend" CEO Håkan Hellström says in a comment. "Leasing volume remains high, but during the past quarters we have noted the tendency of more customers terminating contracts earlier and earlier before they expire - resulting in longer times for leasing to new customers", Hellström adds.
