Pubs For Sale in UK

As a property investment or development opportunity, run down, disused or delicensed freehold pubs and hotels are currently for sale under market value and present excellent redevelopment, modernisation and refurbishment opportunities.

Recent price cuts caused by breweries and pub companies offloading unprofitable, struggling, run down or vacant pubs and hotels, are tempting entrepreneurs to look at the potential locked up in sites previously thought too expensive to run as a business or to redevelop into offices, shops, care homes, restaurants, flats or apartments.

More than 300 Signed up to Facebook Page for Protest Backing Action Against the Pubcos

The Publican reports that disgruntled tenants and lessees are due to protest outside Parliament today as part of a "peaceful" demonstration against the behaviour of pubcos.

The protest, at Old Palace Yard opposite Parliament, is being organised by Inez Ward, leader of campaign group Justice for Licensees, and a former Enterprise Inns lessee.

The group is hoping the demo, which begins at 10am, will pressurise the government into taking action against the pubcos.

It is not known how many people will attend, but more than 330 people have joined a Facebook page for the event.

Ward told The Publican previously that her members wanted action now. “These tenants can’t afford to wait two years for a Competition Commission inquiry, they are losing their homes and facing bankruptcy," she said.

The former Newquay licensee organised previous protest marches on the HQs of Punch Taverns and Enterprise Inns in January this year and boasts around 380,000 “members/supporters” for her JFL group.
