Sale of 177 Bassett Road, Sebastian
On 6 July 2022, the Company outlined plans for the potential disposal of a series of non-core assets. A reasonably buoyant Victoria property market provided MGA with an opportunity to dispose of the ‘Bendigo’ property at 177 Bassett Road, Sebastian. The sale price of A$950,000 is at a slight premium to the purchase price in 2021. A ‘Contract of Sale’ for the Bassett Road property was executed today, with settlement and completion anticipated to occur around 30 days from today’s date. A deposit of A$95,000 is now due with the balance due on completion. In addition, MGA have retained the right to remain at the property until 1 January 2023 for a nominal sum.
