Security and longevity of our income drives our progressive dividend policy

Long-term demographic, macro and political trends supportive across UK and Ireland

  • Obsolete estate (c.40%) and COVID-19 added to increasing strain being put on healthcare systems
  • NHS strategic move of transferring services away from hospital settings to modern primary care premises

Disciplined approach to shareholder returns and capital deployment

  • Dividend cover at 102% (2021: 101%)
  • Total property return +2.8% (2021: +9.5%); valuation declines partially offset by firmer rental growth
