Context and risks
UK REIT with Net Debt/EBITDA of 10.16, highly leveraged; the rise in 10-year yields makes financing more expensive and pressures asset values. Exposure to the London office market adds sensitivity to the rate cycle.

Verdict: Hold; the cheap valuation does not compensate for the high leverage and rate sensitivity of an office REIT.
Main risk: Extreme leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 10.16) combined with the rise in 10-year yields, which makes refinancing more expensive and pressures the value of real estate assets.
