OLIM Property Buys Pubs

Matthew Oakeshott’s OLIM Property has completed the off-market purchase of 15 freehold pubs let to Stonegate, one of the largest managed pub companies in the UK, for £28.3m – a 6.3% yield.

The portfolio, guaranteed by the full Stonegate covenant, has been sold by PFA Acquisitions to OLIM Property on behalf of pension fund and investment trust clients.

The portfolio contains six Slug & Lettuce’s, four Yates’s and five unbranded pubs producing a total rent of £1.8m pa. The leases have indexed uplifts throughout their 25-year term. The pubs are located in Islington, Romford, South Woodford, Sutton, Cheltenham, Poole, Lincoln, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Sale, Blackpool, Leeds (Lower Briggate), Leeds (Woodhouse Lane), York, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Perth.

Stonegate has an estate of more than 620 pubs including more than 260 freehold and long-leasehold pubs.

Oakeshott said: “This is our kind of deal. We were offered it direct with the full facts at a realistic price by a committed seller for an immediate decision. We said yes in a day, and got our skates on from London to Cheltenham and Poole to Perth with our team of advisers to get it done in 10.”

Kitchen La Frenais Morgan acted for the purchasers.
