DJH Commercial completes complex overseas acquisition of Duke of York Pub & Holiday Campsite

DJH Commercial Ltd has completed the acquisition of the Duke of York Pub & Holiday Campsite, located in Pomeroy, Buxton, on behalf of an overseas investor client.

The transaction, formally completed on 15th October, was concluded with the assistance of Spencer West Solicitors, whose dedicated Chinese Desk provided support throughout the process.

The acquisition represented a particularly complex transaction due to the client’s overseas status and the increasingly stringent requirements under current money laundering regulations, which necessitated rigorous due diligence and verification procedures.

DJH Commercial was instructed on a full advisory basis, providing end-to-end support that included negotiation, due diligence coordination, and arranging finance to ensure a successful outcome.

Director at DJH Commercial, Daniel Hawkins said: “We are delighted to have completed this acquisition on behalf of our client. The transaction required extensive coordination between multiple parties and jurisdictions, and we are grateful to both our client and the sellers for their cooperation and patience throughout what was a detailed and demanding process.”

The property comprises a traditional country pub with established camping and caravan licences, offering family-friendly accommodation in the heart of the Peak District. Plans are underway to reopen the business with an enhanced food offering, including traditional pub lunches, occasional carveries, and Chinese cuisine.

Future improvements to the site will include electric vehicle charging points and high-speed internet access, creating an accessible and attractive meeting destination midway between Derby and Manchester.
