Ben Blackwall, Director at Atlas Real Estate comments ‘This acquisition fits well with LondonMetric’s drive-thru strategy with acquiring well located, modern and sustainable roadside investments. The property is let off a highly reversionary rent, with index linked reviews throughout the term and is wholly underpinned by the vacant possession value.’
