    The Business

    Our clients purchased the property in early 2014, since when it has been let to independent tenants on a free of tie basis. This tenure has been successful and they are now moving to another pub owned by our clients.
    We do not therefore have recourse to trading figures and prospective purchasers will need to reach their own conclusion as to the potential trade and profitability which can be enjoyed at this outlet.
