Investment

At a time of low interest rates, carefully chosen licensed premises, bought either as a going concern or for a change of use, can provide attractive yields.

We can advise investors of all sizes, from people who want to buy an entire portfolio to those wanting a single property as a retirement investment. We can provide up-to-the-minute valuations for specific properties, advise when to buy or sell and handle either transaction as your agent. We can also recommend whether to opt for open, private or auction sales and can act as buyers’ or sellers’ agents.

Investment sales we have dealt with recently include the Pig’s Ear, Chelsea, which we sold to a partnership that included a well-known England footballer off an asking price of £1.75 million; Putney’s iconic Star & Garter, which marks the starting place of the world-famous Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race; Hart’s Boatyard in Kingston, which we acquired on behalf of the Plc tenant for more than £3 million; and The Railway at Kew, which is such a landmark property that it sparked a bidding war.

Whatever type of licensed premises you are thinking about, we are happy to discuss the pros and cons with you. Contact David Gooderham on 020 7836 7826 or e-mail dgooderham@agg.uk.com
