Global real estate advisor, CBRE, has advised Aviva Investors on the sale of eight freehold public houses strategically located across the UK for over £20m.

All of the assets are operated by one of the UK’s largest and leading pub operators, Marston’s, with guarantees from the Marston’s topco. The leases expire in 2055 and benefit from annual RPI indexation. Additionally, the tenant benefits from a £1 buyback option at lease expiry.
