Topps, which expects the sale to complete in early June, said the consideration represents a premium of about 29.3% to the balance sheet asset value of the properties of £14m.
Proceeds from the sale "will further strengthen the group's financial position as it responds to the Covid-19 crisis", it said.
In connection with the sale, Topps has also entered into leases for the properties for a 20-year period following completion, for an annual rent of £1.2m.
