'Nervous' ex-Leeds landlord's race against time as pub listed on Rightmove

David Holmes was surprised to see The Sportsman Inn advertised on Rightmove

A 'nervous' ex-Leeds landlord feels blindsided after the pub he's desperate to buy with a community group was listed on Rightmove.

In lieu of any offers, the pub company has listed the Sportsman on Rightmove for £395,000. David felt blindsided by the fact Admiral Taverns had advertised the pub on the open market, ahead of the deadline. A spokesperson for Admiral Taverns said: "Whilst The Sportsman Inn is currently within its six-month moratorium period, the pub is permitted to be listed online according to the Localism Act 2011 and Assets of Community Value Regulations 2012, however, a sale cannot be agreed until this has expired, on June 11.

“Once an Asset is listed for sale a moratorium period begins. This is to give any interested community group the opportunity to express an interest in the asset and then submit a bid to acquire it.
