The properties are all let to Marston’s on long, RPI-linked, leases and have been purpose built for the pub/restaurant chain within the last seven years.

Situated across the UK, they provide a good geographic spread, with 54% located in the South East, East Anglia and the South West, 32% in the Midlands and North of England, and 13% in Wales and Scotland.
