BBC Studioworks has assumed the selling of four sound stages at BBC Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff, effective immediately

The move forms part of the company’s pan-UK expansion strategy and accelerates its experience and expertise in the sound stage market, having operated George Lucas Stage Two at its Elstree Studios facility for the past nine years.

The high-end, purpose-built stages, previously used for Doctor Who, range from 5,101 sq. ft-12, 318 sq. ft and are surrounded by ample ancillary areas to suit a wide range of requirements. These include 4,535 sq. ft of production office space, set and prop storage, wardrobe and hair and make-up rooms.

Gareth Powell, Chief Operating Officer, BBC Cymru Wales welcomed the development. “Roath Lock Studios has successfully produced Casualty, Pobol y Cwm, Doctor Who plus other shows since it opened in 2011. In that time Roath Lock Studios has made a major creative and economic contribution to the creative industries and been a springboard for the now flourishing drama production sector across South Wales. With production of Doctor Who now moving a short distance to Wolf Studios we look forward to a continued flow of production business using these facilities, overseen by BBC Studioworks.”

Is it just me confused by this.   Are they selling the studios lock stock and barrel, or just selling the space - so retaining ownership but leasing the studios?

Apologies for the confusion, the heading got left out when I copied the text:
