Fleurets handled the sale to the tenant on behalf our client Stonegate Pub Company. The transaction was handled by Elysia Wilson-Gunn in the London Office.

The previous owner was thinking about selling but was nervous about the process, so their accountant suggested having a conversation with Fleurets. When the vendor requested a confidential sale, off market approaches were made to some retained clients and this generated some interest. A sale was eventually agreed and The Crown Inn was acquired by Red Oak Taverns in April 2023.

During the marketing process, we had 12 formal viewings with three strong offers with the property completion to a private individual who had known the pub for a number of years.

A rural pub and caravan site which had been closed since 2020 and had fallen into significant disrepair.

The response to the marketing was phenomenal which resulted in more than 50 parties attending an open viewing day ahead of a Best & Final bids process. A sale significantly above the asking price was secured and both the pub and the caravan park will hopefully be open ahead of the 2024 Summer season.

Fleurets were instructed to market the property both To Let and For Sale. Values in Newent are lower than other areas in Gloucestershire and therefore the opportunity to acquire a town centre pub with letting rooms and a garden off an asking price of £395,000 appealed to a cross section of purchasers. We received 169 requests for details and the freehold was sold close to the asking price of £395,000.

The freehold had previously been acquired by 'the village' who impose trading requirements. Fleurets secured experienced local operators who were presented to 'the village' committee who were enthusiastic about their potential.

Fleurets provided marketing advice for both letting and sale and our clients opted to sell. We needed to facilitate a quick sale so it was more important to use our knowledge of likely buyers and contacts in the area. Several calls were made aswell as details mailed to other pubs in the town and catchment and to local convinience shops as it could have suited another alternative use. This resulted in a number of viewings within days of the property coming to the market from which mutiple offers were received.

The City Corporation of London instructed Fleurets to find an operator for this unusual Pavilion between Houndsditch and Aldgate in the City of London. Due to the location and source of funding for the original construction of the property the remit was to source not only the best operator and rental bid but to attract interest from those who had an element of social enterprise to their offer to bring a social benefit to the local community and area. Despite footfall to the City still recovering post pandemic, interest levels were excellent with over 10 proposals received.
