What is 'open market'?
The 'open market' means a property is publicly advertised for sale at a fair price, giving anyone a chance to buy it. For pubs, the new law requires developers to prove the venue was on the open market for twelve months. This ensures that a genuine effort was made to sell it as a pub before it can be considered for conversion.
