Ground Rents

Home & Castle deals with the sale of a wide range of residential ground rents throughout England and Wales.  We offer this specialist service to corporate and private investors who are looking to capitalise on the purchase of both short and long-term ground rents.

Ground rent is about land.  It’s an annual fee that the leaseholder (the person in the property) pays to the owner of the land, otherwise known as a freeholder.  Lease lengths can vary from an extremely modest 20 years, to as long as 99 years.  On average, however, a 99-year lease is the most common.

Investors see ground rents as a steady and reliable investment opportunity, offering reasonably predictable returns with lower exposure and risk.  In other words, you have something that investors want to buy.  Are you this type of landlord?  If so, talk to the experts at Home & Castle.

Process driven service

Home & Castle offers a process driven service to landlords, ensuring that we minimise delays and hold-ups as much as we can.

Compliance and Regulations

This is a distinctive type of property investment sale, complete with several compliance and regulatory issues to deal with. 

We have all the advice and knowledge that you need, including the necessary knowledge regarding Section 5 notices, offering the leaseholder first refusal. 

Fees

When it comes to fees, you may be pleasantly surprised.  In most cases, Home & Castle is fully retained, so the costs are paid by the purchaser.
