How to Get an Accurate AI Valuation
Hospitality properties are valued differently from residential real estate. The value is primarily driven by trading performance — not just bricks and mortar. Our AI Valuation Assistant weighs your figures against current market data, regional comparables and industry EBITDA multiples, then writes a tailored valuation commentary with recommendations. The better the information you provide, the more accurate the AI's estimate — so gather the following before completing the form:
Know Your EBITDA
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation — your most important figure. This is calculated from your profit and loss account. Buyers will apply a multiple of 3–6× EBITDA to arrive at a price. Even an approximate figure dramatically improves the accuracy of your estimate.
Check Your Occupancy Rate
Your annual average occupancy rate tells buyers how busy you are. A rate above 70% in a competitive market signals strong demand. If you use a channel manager or PMS system, this figure is usually readily available.
Confirm Your Tenure
Whether you own the building outright (freehold) or operate under a lease (leasehold) makes a huge difference to value. Freehold properties include the land and building's asset value — often adding 30–50% compared to leasehold equivalents.
Note Your Amenities Honestly
A restaurant, bar, spa or conference facilities all add to your business's revenue potential and appeal to buyers. Select only the amenities that are fully operational and generating income — not aspirational ones.
What Drives Hospitality Property Values?
Unlike residential property, hospitality valuations are primarily based on income and trading performance. A three-bedroom house is valued by comparable sales; a three-bedroom B&B is valued by the business it generates.
EBITDA Multiple
The single most important factor. Buyers typically pay 3–6× annual EBITDA for trading hospitality businesses. Higher multiples apply to strong brands, coastal/rural tourism locations, and properties with consistent trading history.
Annual Turnover
Total revenue is used as a sanity check alongside EBITDA. A healthy net margin of 20–30% on turnover signals a well-run operation and supports a stronger valuation.
Freehold vs Leasehold
Freehold properties command a significant premium — often 30–50% more than equivalent leasehold businesses — because buyers own the bricks and mortar outright.
Occupancy Rate
Properties achieving 70%+ occupancy consistently indicate strong demand and operational efficiency. Anything above 80% is exceptional and justifies premium pricing.
