Frequently asked questions

How are UK pubs and restaurants valued?

Buyers usually apply a multiple to maintainable operating profit, then adjust for lease length, ties and condition. Freehold and free-of-tie sites typically support stronger outcomes than short or tied leases.

Does a tied lease lower value?

Often yes. Tied supply and restrictive leases reduce buyer flexibility and can compress the multiple. Longer free-of-tie tenure is usually easier to underwrite.

Can I get a free hospitality valuation?

Yes. Dealdoor’s free UK calculator provides an indicative range from your figures. Treat it as a starting point before site-specific diligence on tenure and trading.
