Motels for Sale in Australia – Your Guide to Buying a Motel

Are you ready to buy a motel? Motels are a unique hospitality asset, designed to cater to motorists with their low-rise, accessible layouts. If you’re considering entering the motel industry, it’s important to understand the two primary ownership models: Freehold Going Concern and Leasehold (Split Motel).
Freehold Going Concern Traditionally popular before the 1980s, this model involves purchasing the motel outright, including the land and business. As the owner, you would have full control over operations and profits, making it an ideal option for someone who is ready to buy a motel and manage it independently.
Leasehold (Split Motel)In Australia, the most common model today is the Leasehold Motel, also known as a “split motel.”  Here’s how it works:

• Lease Terms: The standard lease is typically 30 years, consisting of a 10-year baseline with multiple 5-year extensions.
• Onsite Management: The leasing party (you) usually lives onsite and manages the day-to-day operations of the motel.
• Landlord Responsibilities: The property owner handles structural maintenance and repairs, while the leasing party focuses on running the business.
• Rent Agreements: The leasing party pays annual rent, often adjusted by CPI, while the owner becomes a passive investor.

Who Does What?

• Leasing Party (You): Manages daily operations, pays operating costs (utilities, staff wages, etc.), and works to maximize occupancy and profits.
• Property Owner: Handles structural maintenance and receives rent, making this a hands-off investment for them.

Why Buy a Motel? For someone who is ready to buy a motel, this can be a rewarding investment. Motels offer:

• Steady Income: With the right location and management, motels can generate consistent revenue.
• Lifestyle Opportunity: Many motels come with onsite accommodation, allowing you to live and work in the same location.
• Growth Potential: By increasing occupancy and optimizing operations, you can significantly boost profitability.
