FDFYL best go was 1.75 before discounts.<br /><br />Tied pubs become vacant because tenants move to other tenancies, buy freeholds, die, retire, start greengrocery businesses.....not all are failures.<br /><br />Careful reading of the ALMR surveys will show that no direct comparison is made between tied and FOT rents.<br /><br />Interestingly the Guardian article fails to mention that 74% of tied tenants would sign up again (CGA 2013 survey).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
