      Our client has bought a domain with a history for a different type of venue in another location. Inbound links exist related to this prevous venue - should we disavow these?

        Hi Gareth,

        IF the old backlinks to the recently bought domain come from a different topic and you recognize that them are not related in any way: Yes, you shoud disavow them.

        Best luck.
        GR.
