Kitson Boyce Complete The Purchase Of St Weonards B&B

Award-winning law firm Kitson Boyce is pleased to announce that the Commercial Property team, headed by Cheryl Baxter, have completed the purchase of St Weonards B&B in Paignton, Devon.

St Weonards is a highly rated B&B located in the heart of Paignton, consisting of seven bedrooms varying in size. It is well connected, being only a short distance from the beach and the Paignton town centre. The property has its own car park for guest use along with EV charging, but there are also train and coach stations nearby. In addition, the property also has private accommodation for the owners.

Over the years, St Weonards has been the go-to tourist destination and will continue to be so under new ownership. The new owner has relocated all the way from Hampshire following the sale of their home, Cheryl acting, which allowed them to relocate and start a new life here in Torbay. We are excited to see the new owners take on the B&B, and we wish them a very warm welcome!

Expressing her thanks to Cheryl and the wider team, the client, Anne, commented:

“I have not bought a commercial property before, nor been involved in a chain with so many complications. But one thing I do know is it wouldn’t have happened without Cheryl and can’t thank her enough for her time, skill and effort involved in seeing it through to completion.”

Kitson Boyce advised on all issues relating to simultaneous sale and purchase, which combined both commercial and residential property elements. The team worked hard to ensure the process was as smooth as possible.

Commenting on the transaction, Cheryl Baxter, Partner and Head of Commercial Property, said:

“I was pleased to act on behalf of the purchaser in connection with the successful acquisition of St Weonards. This transaction represents a significant milestone for my client, who is relocating to Torbay to embark on an exciting new venture.

Relocating and acquiring a business simultaneously is no small undertaking, but I have every confidence that St Weonards will thrive under their stewardship. I wish them every success as they settle into life in Torbay and the very best of luck with their new endeavours.”The purchase of the St Weonards adds to our ongoing success and expertise in the hospitality, leisure and tourism sector.
