Buying a running pub as an investment - is the license transfer really as painful as people say?

Come across a package deal, existing pub with the premises being sold together. Heard the excise license side of this is where things get messy. Wondering if it's smarter to think of the building and the running business as two completely separate things to evaluate.

The excise license does not just transfer along with the sale of the premises, it's a fresh process through the excise department in the new owner's name regardless of what the seller tells you. Budget time for that separately from the property registration timeline.

Good to know, was assuming it'd just carry over automatically since the business stays the same.

Also check the building's own title independent of whatever business is running in it right now. A tenant with a good running business can make the property look more settled than the paperwork actually is.
