The lease is held on full repairing and insuring terms subject to 5 yearly upward only reviews to compounded CPI, capped at 5%. The current rent is £239,400 per annum which equates to £3,800 per room.

The sale price was 4% ahead of the asking price and 25% above the price Custodian, advised by Atlas Real Estate, purchased the investment for in 2013.’
