Frequently asked questions
How much does a hotel or motel cost in Adelaide?
Adelaide hotel and motel prices depend on profit, whether the freehold is included, the licence and gaming position, and the state of the building. A leasehold motel is priced very differently from a freehold pub. When one lists, compare it with accommodation on Business For Sale across Australia and get specialist valuation advice.
Can I buy an Adelaide pub or motel without a broker?
Yes, when owners sell privately. Business For Sale lists private sellers next to brokers, and enquiry is free on both. Licensed venue sales still need careful legal work, so use a lawyer who knows liquor licence transfers through Consumer and Business Services, and a valuer if the freehold is part of the sale.
What should I check before buying a hotel or motel?
For a pub, check income by bar, bistro, bottle shop and gaming, the licence conditions and any gaming entitlements. For a motel, check occupancy, room rate, online review scores and booking channel costs. For both, review the lease or title, building and fire compliance, staff awards and the age of kitchens, plant and furnishings.
