As London's leading leisure property specialist, Restaurant Property are well positioned to deliver you the premium service when you are searching for a bar for sale in London.
With a wide selection of online, off-market and confidential London bars for sale, we will help you to find the right property for you and your business.
Before searching for a bar for sale, it is important to understand the distinction between properties that are available for sale versus those for rent and tenancy. Choosing which type of property ownership is right for you and your business is a matter of balancing control versus cost. Freehold bars for sale offer the greatest degree of control to the owner, as you will be free to run the bar exactly as you choose. However, this method of running a bar is also the most expensive, especially upfront costs. In comparison, renting a bar or searching for a bar tenancy offers a lower cost alternative, but there will be restrictions on how you run the bar, such as beer ties, rent hikes or franchising regulations.
Following the changes to planning regulations in September 2020, bars now fall under the Sui Generis use class, having previously been under the A4 Use Class up until 31 August 2020. Whilst the regulatory changes were introduced to simplify the planning process, it is important to note that sui generis properties do not necessarily benefit from permitted development rights to change use. Even changing from one sui generis use to another might be subject to full local consideration through the planning application process. All of this combines to ensure that careful consideration and industry expertise is required in relation to any Sui Generis related property matters. Fortunately, our enterprising team of property experts are on hand to help with any issues you may have.

Once you have found a bar for sale that you are interested in, chances are you will have to take part in thorough AML checks. These anti-money laundering checks, also known as Know Your Clients (KYC), are a legal requirement for bars with rent of over £10,000 per annum. A check is run using a software that is able to confirm an individual’s identity using their Identification and Proof of address, as well as informing us if the individual is a politically exposed person or has any bad debt.
