As a potential property investment or development, run down, disused or delicensed freehold pubs and hotels are currently under market value and present excellent redevelopment, modernisation and refurbishment opportunities. Recent price cuts caused by UK breweries and pub companies offloading distressed, empty, run down, empty or closed down pubs and hotels are tempting property investors to look at the potential locked up in freehold development sites previously thought too expensive to run as a business or redevelop into offices, shops, care homes, restaurants, flats or apartments.S

Subject to planning permission and change of use consent being granted, these UK pubs and hotels may be suitable for modernisation or refurbishment or have potential for redevelopment into offices, shops, HMOs, hostels, care homes, restaurants, flats or apartments.


The majority of our freehold property development opportunities are not offered on a 'subject to planning' basis which means it is essential for investors to conduct their due diligence in this respect before commencing negotiations. This is easily done by consulting with the relevant Local Planning Authority or by following the guidelines set out in the most recent Unitary Development Plan (UDP).

Did you know that pubs are currently being sold for uses such as; dwelling-houses for family occupation, for conversion into multiple residential units, for community uses and places of worship, for ALL retail uses including convenience stores and restaurants and even for funeral parlours. Planning permission is needed for overall site redevelopment and for the conversion, refurbishment and modernisation of existing buildings.

Planning permission may be required should the external appearance of existing pub or shop buildings be altered, or if new erections are proposed. Planning permission may also be required if a change of use is proposed from a commercial property, a London gastro pub or Yorkshire country hotel for example, to a residential property, and vice versa.

UK planning laws on change of use may restrict development to residential property on pubs in certain areas; A city centre pub is more likely to gain permission for conversion to a residential property than the only local pub in a rural, country village. A UK city centre pub may also be put to a different commercial use; some changes are considered as 'permitted development' under the Use Classes Order 1987. UK Pubs and bars for example, are in the A4 ‘Drinking Establishment’ class, and conversion is permitted to the following; A1, Shops and Retail ; A2 Financial and professional services; A3 Restaurants and cafés.
