Pub agent moves into Cornwall

Suffolk-based company UK Pub Sales is expanding its business operations to include the sale of licensed premises in Devon and Cornwall.

The decision follows the success of UK Pub Sales in East Anglia and the Home Counties and is prompted, says the company, by the high demand of buyers looking to acquire leasehold and freehold public houses and hotels.

According to UK Pub Sales’ statistics, the number of people registering an interest in buying Public Houses has increased by 65% since January 2011.

UK Pub Sales has been established for 23 years, but in 2009 was acquired by business transfer agents Axis Partnerships. Since then, the company claims to have increased its total number of properties for sale by over 90%.

The new south west area service, which opens for business in September, will be managed by experienced UK Pub Sales valuer Bob Boxhall-Hunt.
