Investing in freehold ground rents

Most people will know what a ground rent is as a lot of us will have owned a flat and some stage and will have paid a ground rent of some description. What some people may not be aware of is that these are also a popular type of property investment amongst property investment companies.

Companies (and individuals) are purchasing freehold ground rents as they offer a reasonable return on the money invested and you can more or less guarantee that you will receive the ground rent every year.

If you are brave you can also have a go at managing the ground rents yourselves and charge the lessees a management although I would recommend that you leave this to a profession outfit that are used to dealing with block management (unless you want to deal with the day to day running of the building and all that this entails!)

I will be regularly updating this blog about this type of investment and welcome any questions that you may have. In the meantime if you are looking to sell any of these types of investments pleases visit this website at www.groundrents.net
