So every pub refurb is always a winner eh? None ever fail and end up being sold for new housing?

Sadly I fear it's a done deal.
Basically, the owners wouldn't get permission to turn a valuable community asset into flats right now, so they will turn it into something no-one wants.
Then six months later, and the place is always empty, they'll say no-one wants it as a pub any more, and sell it as a residential property, getting more money that way than they would selling it as a pub.
It's how Enterprise Inns (who are property developers before they are pub owners) operate.

In a nutshell, and some right donuts earlier on this thread that can’t see this tried and trusted routine. It’s all about greed. Why be happy with a million when you can make £1.01m instead. And **** the community, tradition and lives it effects. Come pray at the temple of capitalist greed. Where everything is calculated and measurable. Depressing.
