Buying tip
Prioritise lease terms, rent review history, and how much of the asking price is goodwill versus assets. For hospitality, check recent BAS or POS extracts and local competition within a short walk (CBD laneways, North Adelaide strips and coastal spots can look similar on paper but trade very differently). For services and trades, focus on recurring clients and how transferable the owner's relationships are. Register a free buyer account so you can enquire and save searches across suburbs.
