                           PROPERTY PORTFOLIO VALUATION

Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc ("SERE" or the "Company"), the
company investing in real estate in European growth cities, today provides an update on
the independent valuation of the property portfolio as at 31 March 2024:

-   The direct property portfolio was independently valued at €208.1 million. The
    marginal like-for-like decrease over the quarter of -1.0% (31 December 2023 -1.8%),
    or -€2.2 million (see footnote 1 below), was driven by continued outward yield
    movement, particularly for offices and select retail. The rental income has remained
    stable with a continuing high level of rent collection and the portfolio benefiting
    from indexation and high occupancy of 96%

-   The portfolio office assets (33% - see footnote 2 below) witnessed a valuation decline
    of -€0.9 million, or -1.1%, comprising:

     o    Stuttgart (-€1.0m/-5.0%) and Hamburg (-€0.3m/-1.4%), reflecting 25 basis
          points and 15 basis points of outward yield movement respectively.

     o    The St Cloud, Paris valuation increased €0.4 million, or 1.1%, driven by indexed-
          led income growth and a new 6/9/12 year lease for 540 sqm of office space.

-   The portfolio industrial assets (30%-see footnote 2 below) witnessed a valuation
    increase of €0.3 million, or 0.4%, driven by index-linked income growth in Rennes,
    France, as well as estimated rental value ("ERV") growth in Venray, the Netherlands.

-   The German retail portfolio (17% -see footnote 2 below) valuation declined -€0.9
    million, or -2.3%, due to 15 basis points of outward yield movement in the Berlin DIY
    investment, whilst the Frankfurt grocery asset valuation remained unchanged.

-   The valuation of the two alternative investments (9% - see footnote 2 below) declined
    marginally to €0.7 million, or -3.2%, as a result of c.15-35 basis points of outward
    yield shift.
-   Based on 31 March 2024 values and following the recent Rennes logistics loan
    refinancing, the portfolio LTV is approximately 33% based on gross asset value and
    24% net of cash (31 December 2023 LTV 33% gross and 24% net of cash).

-   The Company remains well positioned with significant cash reserves and is
    continuing to review select sustainability-led capex initiatives in the portfolio, which
    should optimise earnings growth and asset liquidity.

    Footnote 1: In addition, the Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture in Seville which continues to be recognised
    at nil value.

    Footnote 2: Including available cash.
