Description

The property is a freehold ground rent investment secured on a semi-detached property, offering a unique opportunity for investors and homeowners to own and control the land, building, and long-term income streams. As the freeholder, investors can charge various fees, including assignment, consent, breach-of-lease, and non-payment fees, creating a reliable and repeatable income stream. Owning the freehold also provides full control over the building, allowing investors to appoint or replace managing agents, control service charge budgets, and ensure proper maintenance. The lease provides protection and power, enabling the freeholder to enforce lease terms and take formal action if necessary. Additionally, freeholds typically increase in value over time, providing long-term asset appreciation. Homeowners who purchase the freehold can stop paying ground rent, gain control over their property, and avoid the stress and costs associated with extending the lease. Overall, owning the freehold offers a high-control, high-return asset with numerous benefits for investors and homeowners alike.
