The Company has acquired 44,606 sq ft of retail warehousing on

units let to Go Outdoors Limited and B & M Bargains Limited,

The units' leases expire on 26 May 2021 and 8 February 2025
respectively with a total passing rent of GBP525,000 per annum,
reflecting a net initial yield of 6.86%.
The agreed purchase price of GBP7.18 million was funded from the

Commenting on the acquisition, Richard Shepherd-Cross, Managing
Director of Custodian Capital Limited (the Company's discretionary
investment manager), said:
"We are delighted to have secured this prominent property
adjacent to Tesco Extra and located in Swindon's highest density
catchment area. B&M Bargains and Go Outdoors are both occupiers
who are dominating their sub-markets and with a weighted average
unexpired lease term of 7.5 years and unrestricted open A1 planning
consent (including food) the units provide long-term income and
flexibility regarding future use."
