Borrowing Money to Buy a Pub

If you are planning to borrow funds to buy a pub, there are many points you need to consider. If you choose to buy freehold, you will be buying not only the property, but also the benefit of the licence, the fixtures and fittings, and the goodwill. You will need to borrow enough for all of this. If you are buying leasehold, you will need to take into account the fact that lenders will not consider your lease as security for any loan you wish to take out. Therefore, you may need to provide a residential property as loan security.

In our article, you will read about:

• How much of the purchase price you may need to inject
• Lending procedures for leasehold purchases
• Collateral security
• Additional security
• Advance of discount loans
