There are a number of different types of arrangement under which you can purchase your dream pub and the purchase prices will vary accordingly:

The traditional Pub Tenancy Agreement

An ideal starter for newcomers to the industry. Usually this will be a 3 or 5 year tenancy agreement which is contracted outside of the Landlord and Tenant Act. (meaning that the term is fixed for 3 or 5 years and no longer). Key facts:

• An ideal opportunity to get started with your first pub
• Cost of acquiring a 3 or 5 year tenancy will be between* £10,000 and £40,000
• You acquire and own the fixtures and fittings , stock and glassware
