Your expert business property advisers
Demand is highest for freehold businesses; however we also receive a good number of enquiries for strong, well positioned leasehold businesses. The key to this continued demand is buyers’ ability to secure financing, albeit there is also a significant number of cash buyers within the marketplace.
Buyers are looking for a broad mix of assets, including wet-led pubs, city centre bars, good quality restaurants and venues with multiple income streams, particularly accommodation due to the strength of the staycation market. As such, businesses which have added letting rooms or creative new income streams to underpin their revenue are generating high levels of interest.
Major pub companies and breweries have maintained a long-term view towards the pub market, which is also helping to keep the market buoyant. At present, we are working with several highly acquisitive, corporate clients who are keen to continue expanding their estates.
