Frequently Asked Questions About Renting A Restaurant in York

Learn More

What should I consider before renting a restaurant?

Consider the location, footfall, nearby competition, size of the premises, kitchen facilities, extraction systems, licensing, business rates, and whether the layout supports your concept. Planning permission and permitted use are also key.

What is the typical lease length for a restaurant?

Most restaurant leases in the UK are between 5 and 15 years, often with a break clause or rent review after a set period. Short-term lets or pop-ups may be available in some areas.

Do I need planning permission to open a restaurant?

Yes, the premises must have the correct planning use class. Restaurants typically fall under Use Class E (formerly A3). If the premises does not have the correct use, you may need to apply for a change of use through the local council.

What licences do I need to operate a restaurant?

You will need a premises licence if you plan to serve alcohol, play music, or trade late. A food business registration with the local authority is also required before opening.

Are business rates included in the rent?

Usually not. Business rates are typically paid separately by the tenant. However, some landlords may offer rent packages that include rates or service charges. Always confirm what's included.

What is key money and is it common?

Key money is an upfront payment for securing a sought-after lease, often in high-demand areas. It can include fixtures, fittings, goodwill, or lease assignment value. It's more common in established restaurant areas like London or city centres.

Can I take over an existing restaurant?

Yes. Many restaurant premises are offered as lease assignments or with existing fit-outs. This can save on setup costs, but make sure to review existing equipment, licences, and obligations under the lease.

What should I check in the lease agreement?

Check repair obligations, permitted use, rent reviews, service charges, signage rights, and whether you can make alterations. Always seek advice from a solicitor familiar with commercial leases.

Can I renovate or fit out the restaurant space?

Generally yes, but you’ll need the landlord’s written consent for significant changes. Some premises come with a ready-to-use fit-out, while others are let as a blank shell.

How much does it cost to rent a restaurant in York?

Rental prices vary by area and size. Prime high street or city centre locations command higher rents, while fringe or suburban areas are more affordable. Additional costs include fit-out, licences, deposits, and business rates.
