Of the £18m of rent outstanding, £6m relates to customers who have withheld payment pending documentation of agreed concessions.
We continue to take a proactive approach to addressing the challenges the pandemic presents to our people, our customers and our business. In early April 2020, we established a customer support fund of £80m for occupiers who most need our help. To date, £50m of rent concessions has been allocated to customers.
