    Further Information

    A Ground Rent is a nominal annual rent paid by the leaseholder to the freeholder. When you purchase a ground rent investment you are purchasing the rights to the ground rent income, not the flats themselves. When the lease terms become low, the freeholder can charge each lessee a premium for extending their lease. Further income can be derived when the freeholder has the right to manage and insure the building.

    Addendum

    For the avoidance of doubt, the address of the property, the income and the lease schedule on our website is correct, and not as previously stated within the catalogue.
