BEING OFFERED THE PUB
You could be verbally offered the pub at the end of the interview or you may have to wait until other interviews have taken place, and be contacted later. A written offer should follow, which you will need to sign to confirm that you wish to go ahead. This outlines the major terms of the agreement, including annual rent. The letter will be subject to contract, which means that it is not binding until a tenancy or lease has actually been signed. It is good practice to send you a draft copy of the agreement with this letter; if you are not sent a copy, you should ask for one. This gives you the chance to read through the agreement (or seek advice) so that you fully understand it.
