More than bricks and mortar
A pub or hotel is rarely valued like ordinary real estate. Its worth is tied up in the licence it holds, the trade it generates and the goodwill built over years of operation. Valuing one properly means understanding all of it — and how a willing buyer would actually assess the opportunity.
allbec Advisory has spent three decades valuing licensed and hospitality venues. We deliver clear, independent figures that stand up to a bank, a board, a business partner or a court.
What a pub or hotel valuation covers
- Property — the freehold or leasehold interest, land and buildings, fit-out and improvements.
- Licence — the liquor and (where relevant) gaming entitlements and their contribution to value.
- Trade — bar, gaming, bottle shop, food, functions and accommodation revenue, and their sustainable margins.
- Goodwill — the value of the established, going-concern business over and above the physical assets.
When you need one
- Buying, selling or refinancing a venue
- Bank and mortgage security valuations
- Partnership, shareholder and family-law disputes
- Self-managed super fund (SMSF) and financial reporting
- Rent reviews and lease negotiations
- Insurance and litigation / expert-witness matters
Our approach
We assess maintainable earnings from verified trading records, apply market-supported capitalisation rates, and cross-check against comparable sales evidence — adjusting for the venue's specific trade, location and condition. The result is a transparent, evidenced conclusion you can rely on and defend.
Every engagement is handled by a registered valuer (VRBQ #2946) with genuine specialist experience in licensed venues — not a generalist treating a pub like a shopfront.
