Institutional-grade valuation logic. Disciplined sale strategy. Confidential process.

This appraisal is designed to produce a clear valuation range based on real trading performance, cost structure, demand profile, and financeability.

Confidential • Specialist-only • Serious buyer network

What you get

A SIRE confidential appraisal is not a quick guess. It’s a structured review that provides:

• Indicative valuation range (with assumptions stated clearly)
• Key value drivers (what may lift the multiple or price)
• Risk flags that reduce buyer appetite (and how to neutralise them)
• Buyer plus bank and valuer readiness checklist
• Recommended next step: Sell now / Optimise then sell / Refinance–Recap / Hold

What drives motel value

• Actual trading performance and seasonality
• ADR, occupancy profile, and channel mix quality
• Cost structure and wage exposure
• Capex requirements and maintenance reality
• Financeability and evidence quality

What quietly reduces buyer appetite

• Earnings not supported by records or inconsistent reporting
• Owner-dependency with no continuity plan
• Capex surprises and deferred maintenance risk
• Volatile demand without mitigation strategy
• Lease risk (for leasehold) or yield risk (for freehold)

Who this is for
This appraisal is built for owners who want clarity and control, including:

• Owners considering a sale within 0–12 months
• Owners who want a credible range before going to market
• Owners who prefer discreet / controlled buyer engagement
• Owners managing complexity: mixed income, add-backs, lease terms, staffing

Seller testimonials

I’ve bought and sold properties all over the country. The leasehold sale SIRE managed for us was executed with precision — from vetting serious buyers to final settlement. He understood our goals as motel portfolio owners consolidating our footprint, and delivered results that exceeded expectations. Highly recommended

/

When it came time to transition out of the leasehold, I knew I needed someone who understood the real value and the nuances of operating history. SIRE handled the sale with absolute professionalism, keeping communication clear and expectations aligned. For someone like me — with decades of business experience — that clarity made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother sale.

I’ve known SIRE for years and have trusted The SIRE Team with multiple asset sales. SIRE's approach to selling my freehold business was strategic, thorough and highly professional. He found the right buyer quickly, navigated negotiations with confidence, and delivered a fantastic outcome. If you want integrity and results, SIRE is the team to call.

As a business owner shifting focus and selling my freehold asset, I needed a firm who could handle complexity. SIRE delivered on every front — clear communication, strong market insight, and a deal structure that worked for both sides. A rare blend of value-driven service and real market acumen.

FAQs

What information do you need to start?

A clean start typically includes:

P&L (or income and expense statements)
Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR by month (if available)
Channel mix summary and any major contracts (corporate, groups)
Lease terms (if leasehold) or freehold structure details
Capex history and upcoming capex needs, plus basic property condition notes

What reduces a motel valuation in due diligence?

Valuation often compresses when earnings are not clearly supported or sustainability looks fragile. Common drivers include inconsistent reporting, unclear adjustments, capex surprises, high owner dependency, and demand volatility without evidence-backed mitigations. Buyers also scrutinise trading KPIs like occupancy, ADR, RevPAR and profit measures because they signal durability.

Can this be off-market?

Yes, where appropriate. A controlled off-market pathway can suit owners who want discretion and tighter control over who receives information, using staged disclosure and confidentiality agreements. The trade-off is usually a narrower buyer set, so the process and buyer selection discipline matter.

How do you screen buyers?

After three decades in rent roll sector, we already know who the real buyers are. Every party introduced is vetted, funded, and operationally fit, keeping inspections purposeful and negotiations aligned toward settlement rather than speculation.

What happens after the appraisal?

You receive a valuation range with assumptions, the value drivers that may lift outcomes, the risk flags that reduce buyer appetite, and a buyer and lender readiness checklist. Then we recommend a pathway based on your goals and evidence quality: sell now, optimise then sell, refinance–recap, or hold.

What is different between leasehold and freehold motel appraisal?

Leasehold value is heavily influenced by lease security and terms, rent review profile, assignment conditions, and the ability for the business to sustain profit after rent and wages. Freehold value tends to weight property and yield logic more heavily, alongside trading evidence if sold as a going concern. Either way, financeability and evidence quality shape what the market will support.
