What do I need to consider before buying a hotel or pub business?
Buying a pub or a hotel is both a commercial and a lifestyle choice for many people. The South West market is very popular for hotel and letting room accommodation but the smaller population means that food and beverage led sites have to factor in the local customer base as well as those who visit the region on holiday or business. There are many factors to consider including the location of the site, market conditions, the trading history and profitability of the business, the anticipated maintenance of the business and seasonal fluctuations.
How do I check and challenge my business rates?
The Government introduced the current business rates appeal system known as Check, Challenge, Appeal. This three-stage system can be complex and requires significant input from the owner/occupier or Agent from the outset of the process. Our Business Rates experts can advise you on the accuracy of the rateable value of your property and, if the business rates valuation is found to be excessive or incorrect, handle the Check, Challenge, Appeal process on your behalf.
