Property Ownership
Dear Cardiff Metropolitan University,
I write regarding a Freedom of Information request about the University’s acquisition of property and investment property outside of Wales. In particular, I would be grateful if you could provide me with the following information:
1. A list of the current freehold, leasehold and investment properties outside of Wales your University has within its portfolio.
2. A breakdown of the costs of purchasing properties outside of Wales in each financial year since 2010.
3. A breakdown of the costs of leasing properties outside of Wales in each financial year since 2010.
4. A breakdown of the costs of investing in properties outside of Wales in each financial year since 2010.
5. A breakdown of the running costs in any property you own outside of Wales in each financial year since 2010.
Yours faithfully,
Angela Jones
