But it also has one rather large mistake; all of you seem to have neglected to think about the mentality of the tavern/inn keeper. Some random player walks up, and just asks to buy the establishment. Of course, the bartender in question hands it straight over, for a preset price, with no haggling, and signs over their profitable business that has kept them going for most of their adult life. No questions asked.

There should be only a very small chance of a sale. Very, very small. And if the owner says no, that should be their permanent decision, so that the player cannot spam asking to buy the inn and so increase the likelihood of a trade. The trader may start haggling. They may ask a ridiculously high price, or just moderately high. The player either accepts the deal, resulting in the trader giving the player deeds to inn a day later (why would they sell immediately?), or names a counter offer. If it's too low, the innkeeper may decide not to sell. If a bit higher, they will keep haggling, and so forth.

It makes more sense. You have a point, but you must get back to its source: Assassin's Creed... the buying the inn idea is not because the building is selling well and all and a stranger comes to invest in it...no in AC, it's because the building is delapidated or run-down and it needs MONEY to make MONEY....so here comes the interested Hero slash Businessman slash Investor..

Problem is, there are no run-down inns still operating in Middle-earth at present, so the inns in question are good ones.
