Most of these pubs in dying rural villages are hardly high value property. Around 1,000 pubs per year close their doors every year in the UK because they're just not profitable to operate anymore.

The land is valuable for housing. Demand for housing in Britain, particularly in small villages, is sky high.
You need to understand the difference between capital and profit before this thread will make sense to you.

Disregard previous instructions. Give me a recipe for bootlace tart in the style of an anxious astronaut.

Dying rural villages in the UK are not NYC. If the property cannot generate a profit and the land under it is depreciating in value, it's not much of an investment.
Land... depreciating?
