We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a thriving pizzeria business located in the vibrant heart of Margate’s Old Town.
Set within the lively indoor food court of The Old Kent Market, this commercial property boasts a prime position at 8 Fort Hill, directly opposite Margate harbour and mere moments from the renowned Turner Contemporary gallery.
The unit is offered on a leasehold basis, with an attractive annual rent of £7,560, inclusive of all bills.
A premium of £10,000 covers the cost of all electrical goods and pizza ovens, making this a turnkey proposition for those looking to continue or expand a popular dining venue in one of the area’s most creative locations.
The Old Kent Market itself is a bustling hub of independent traders and artisan eateries, drawing locals and visitors alike with its unique atmosphere and eclectic mix of cuisines.
With constant footfall from market-goers, tourists, and residents, the pizzeria benefits from both regular custom and seasonal surges during events and holidays.
Surrounded by the charm of Margate’s Old Town-with its cobbled streets, boutique shops, and vibrant arts scene-the property lies steps from the picturesque waterfront and provides easy access to all the cultural attractions that define this coastal destination.
The Turner Contemporary, a landmark gallery known for its impressive exhibitions and striking modern architecture, sits within direct view, ensuring a steady stream of art lovers and sightseers pass by daily.
A stone’s throw from the golden sands of Margate Beach and close to transport links connecting to the wider Thanet area, this location offers unrivalled visibility and convenience.
This is an ideal opportunity for an aspiring restaurateur or seasoned operator seeking to capitalise on Margate’s cultural renaissance and flourishing food scene.
