During the year, there have been no transfers in or out of Level 3.

At 31 December 2017, should net market rents have lowered by 5 per cent with all other variables remaining constant, the decrease in net assets would amount to approximately €118.1 million (2016: €94.9 million), arising substantially from the decrease in market value of properties. If net market rents had risen by 5 per cent, the increase in net assets for the year would amount to approximately €118.0 million (2016: €94.9 million).

At 31 December 2017, should net initial yields have lowered by 25 basis points with all other variables remaining constant, the increase in net assets would amount to approximately €128.7 million (2016: €99.1 million), arising substantially from the increase in market value of properties. If net initial yields had risen by 25 basis points the decrease in net assets for the year would amount to approximately €118.5 million (2016: €91.7 million).
